Lovers In The Supermarket Songtext
What's the sense in being here?
Living out your days in loneliness and fear
Tell me, is it clever?
Old lovers in a supermarket
Who knows where or when they started off
It could have been forever

As he tends to say he loves her
She can see that he's so steady on his feet
She helps him with the basket
As he reaches for a pack of processed meat

Then she grabs an eclair
Of which they'll later share
But before the moment's through
She smiles, I love you too

Whilst browsing through the frozen food again
I see them and it lifts my mood
He's on the wind-up
Moulin, they've been there for weeks
She mulls over multi—packs of leeks
She can't make her mind up

And then she breaks out laughing
As he picks one up and uses it to dance
Throws it in the basket
And she asks if he's got something in his pants

Then the old man makes a glance
Steadies up his stance
Cries God, I love you
And she laughs, I love you too

Too many people living selfishly alone
Build a fire with someone who can spark it
Cause when you're 83 and money can't buy family
Me, I'd rather be just like the lovers in the supermarket

And as I'm in the car park
I can see the ranger off bouncing off the road
And now that heavy basket
It's in a shopping bag but still they share the load

She said, I should have brought me trolley
Cause in there was me brolly
Then a lump filled up my throat
When he made her wear his coat
