Tangled in a Headphone Lead - The Servant

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
