Tangled in a Headphone Lead

Tangled Up In Headphone Lead
Hot rubber bleeds
Out of your Nikes and onto the shop floor
Now walk like a claw
I draw air on napkins
You dribble down bright lit aisles
Scratching at your smile
And run your thumb along the rims of tins
You use your hands like pins
I watch, drinking coffee
«What music do you like?»
«I like anything that’s good»
(Can I ask you a question? Why me… Why?)
Filling up your boot
Your trolley sighs as you make your goodbyes
You climb in your seat
And touch the steering wheel
And I wonder how you feel
I struggle with complex food
What music do you like?
I like anything that’s good
From the carpark you see the sea
The polythene sea
From the carpark you see the sea, oh
The polythene sea
From the carpark you see the sea
The polythene sea
From the carpark you see the sea
Oh, the polythene sea
Ah ah ah-ah-ah
Ah ah ah-ah-ah
Ooooh oo-oo-auhh
Ooh auh, ah ahh ah nah, nah ah
