"I'm All Lost In The Supermarket
I can no longer shop happily
I came in here for a special offer
Guaranteed personality

I wasn't born so much as I fell out 🪂
Nobody seemed to notice me
We had a hedge back home in the suburbs
Over which I never could see

I heard the people who lived on the ceiling
Scream and fight most scarily
Hearing that noise was my first ever feeling
That's how it's been all around me

CHORUS

I'm all tuned in, I see all the programs
I save coupons from packets of tea ☕️
I've got my giant hit discoteque album
I empty a bottle, I feel a bit free

The kids in the halls and the pipes in the walls
Make me noises for company
Long distance callers make long distance calls
And the silence makes me lonely

CHORUS

And it's not here
It disappear..."
