Persuasion lyrics

My supermarket trolley

Glides around the shelves

Of frozen foods

My supermarket trolley

Glides around the shelves

Of pre-packed goods

It rattles an accompaniment

To the droning from the speakers

When I knock a jar ("Checkout 5")

I stand and stare oblivious as it shatters

("Will the manager please go to checkout 5?")

Someone passes by

We near collide

She's silent but she's frantic

Can't figure out why she's bought so many useless items

("Checkout 5, will the manager please go to checkout 5?")

I can't figure out why I've bought so many useless items

("There is a problem at checkout 5")

I only wanted cigarettes

("Will you investigate please?")

I push my trolley further

("Will you investigate please?")

I glide around the frozen goods

Lost in here forever

Lost in here forever

Lost in here forever

Lost in here forever

Ever

My arms do things oblivious of my wishes and my orders

("There is a problem at checkout 5.

Will the manager investigate please?")

The frantic woman has turned white

A hand upon her shoulder

Buy, buy, buy more now

Buy, buy, buy more now

Buy, buy, buy more now

Buy, buy, buy more now

Buy, buy, buy more now

Buy, buy, buy more now

Buy, buy, buy more now

I only hear the neutron sounds

By the cheap impersonators

And I outrun my limitations

And I outrun my limitations

Buy, buy, buy more now

("Checkout 5")

Buy, buy, buy more now

("There is a disturbance at checkout 5")

Buy, buy, buy more now

Buy, buy, buy more now

Buy, buy, buy more now

I only hear the neutron sounds

By the cheap impersonators

And I outrun my limitations

And I outrun my limitations

And I outrun my limitations

And I outrun my limitations

And I outrun my limitations

And I outrun my limitations

("I don't want any of them")

And I out run my limitations

("I can't afford all these things

I can't afford all these things")

And I outrun my limitations

("I can't afford all these things")

And I outrun my limitations

And I outrun my limitations

And I outrun my limitations

("I don't want any of them")

And I outrun my limitations

("I don't want all these things")

And I outrun my limitations

And I outrun my limitations

("Please, please, leave me alone")

And I outrun my limitations

("Leave me alone, leave me alone")

And I outrun my limitations

Leave me alone

Leave me alone

Leave me alone

Please

I don't want them

I don't want them

I can't afford them

Leave me alone

Leave me alone

Leave me alone

Leave me alone

Leave me alone

Leave me alone

Leave me alone

Can't afford them

Leave me alone

Leave me alone
