Lyrics
You're staring at the checkout light on aisle seven.
The Tuesday afternoon hum of the big Tesco.
Every tin a brick, every box a prayer you're sending,

"Don't you worry about me, love. We'll be just fine."
[VOCAL GOES COMPLETELY DRY, CLOSE-MIC'D]
And you finally believe her.
[Outro]
The automatic doors slide open. You walk into the rain.
