Album: Trick (2016)

Tescoland

[Jamie T over supermarket loudspeaker:]
Jerry to aisle 5
'peat, Jerry to frozen foods aisle 5
There's a clean-up needed
There's blood on the floor, there's been a suicide
Jerry
Jerry?
Jerrrrr...

I ain't gotta first line sing for whatever
Always in the heart beat a friend of mine
New York, New York in a hot, hot summer
Leaving the place low all of the time

"I just got my heart broke home in the winter"
Oh no he said Paul laugh and a cry
Don't ever tell them the old broke record
They won't understand or even know of this crime

But it's hard for Americans
To really understand
What it takes from a man
Livin' on shattered love
Walk through Tescoland

I wait on a long time friend undercovers
West 23rd words cursed in the wine
Doesn't matter how far in a bus I travel
I still feel the twist and the turn of mean time
I'm not gonna call her a thief or whatever
Breaking in the back doors of my mind
You look just like my old young lover
I relive the past in a last fast find

But it's hard for Americans
To really understand
What it takes from a man
Livin' on shattered love
Walk through Tescoland

Tescoland
Oh it's a stand
Metro get ya let's go Tescoland
Tescoland
Tescoland
Get ya Metro let's go let's go

I was just a fool too singing a new low
What's new I've fallen from my old high street
Base can get you though I'm broader than Broadway
Broader than Broadway in my own defeat
Who am I kidding man I love to hate
Love to sail away like a rolling stone
Every plan I make's meant to take me further away
But I always end up back at home
Home
Back home

In Tescoland
In Tescoland
In Tescoland
In Tescoland
In Tescoland

I guess it's hard for an Englishman
To really understand
What it takes from a man
Livin' on shattered love
Walk through Tescoland

Tescoland
Tescoland
Tescoland
Tescoland
Tescoland
Tescoland
Tescoland
