about

A folk-pop track about a trip to the supermarket. Vocals, acoustic guitar and whistling!

lyrics

I went to the supermarket today,
I went to the supermarket to get myself some food
Because I've not had a proper meal in a while.
Stroll into the supermarket today,
Run around the clothing aisle and bump into an old friend
And say nothing, I turn my back and walk away.
Later on I'm pushing down the milk aisle
Thinking how I should have said something to her,
the last time I saw her, her mother was still alive.
And I walked over the broken glass,
I walked over her broken glass,
I walked over the broken glass of her motorcycle crash.

-Instrumental-

Strolling down the medicinal aisle,
Pick a pack of St John's and hope he'll make me smile,
and I get out of there, grabbing some deodorant.
Shove it over the St John's, stuff myself down the sweets aisle
and hope I can get out before they catch me here.
And before I know it, who is there, but my old head of school, no my old head of year,
And I cannot believe that this is happening to me.
'Cause I'm at the checkout and he's right next door,
and even though his hair's not ginger anymore I still know it's him,
I don't know if he knows it's me.
Since then I've started taking drugs, there's a lot more to me,
And I'm thinking that as I pass St. John's through the supermarket to me.

-Instrumental-

I went to the supermarket today,
I won't be going there in a while, I am telling you,
I am not getting out for a bit,
I'll sit here and suckle St John's,
Yeah I'll sit here and suck on St John's,
Yeah I'll sit here and be with St John's for a while.
