letra de lovers in the supermarket - jamie webster

what’s the sense in being here
living out your days in loneliness and fear?
tell me is it clever?
old lovers in the supermarket
who knows where or when they started off?
it could have been forever

as he turns to say he loves her
she can see that he’s unsteady on his feet
she helps him with the basket
as he reaches for a pack of processed meat
then she grabs an éclair, of which they’ll later share
but before the moments through, she smiles, “i love you too”

whilst browsing through the frozen foods
again i see them and it lifts my mood
he’s on the wind up
moaning they’ve been there for weeks
as she mulls over multipacks 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”
many people living selfishly alone
build a fire with someone who can spark it
’cause when you’re eighty-three
your money can’t buy family
me, i’d rather be just like the lovers in the supermarket

and as i’m in the carpark
i can see the raindrops bouncing off the road
now that heavy basket
it’s in a shopping bag but still, they share the load
she said
“i should have brought my trolley, ’cause in there was my brolly”
then a lump filled up my throat
when he made her wear his coat
