Persuasion (Live At Leeds Polytechnic)

My supermarket trolley

Glides around the shelves

Of frozen food

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

I stand and stare oblivious as it shatters

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

I can't figure out

Why I've bought so many useless items

I only wanted cigarettes

I push my trolley further

I glide around the frozen food

Lost in here forever

Lost in here forever

Oh, I'm lost in here forever

Oh, I'm lost in here forever

My arms do things

Oblivious of my wishes and my orders

The frantic woman has turned white

A hand upon her shoulder

Buy, buy, buy more now

I only hear the neutron sounds

By the cloned impersonators

And I out run my limitations

Buy, buy, buy more now

Buy, buy, buy more now

I only hear the neutron sounds

By the cloned impersonators

And I out run my limitations

And I out run my limitations

And I out run my limitations

And I out run my limitations

I out run them

I can't afford it

Please don't make me buy them

I don't want them

I don't want them

I can't even buy them

I can't afford it

Please, take this away

I don't want them

I don't want any of them

Please, please, please

Take them away

Please, leave me alone

Leave me alone

Oh, oh, leave me alone

Oh, oh

Thank you and good night

Have a very Merry Christmas
