"Co-Op" lyrics

"Co-Op"

I slip my hands into my pockets
Lean against the wall at a Blondie tribute concert
We had that same old talk in the car
On the way over, I said I love him
I said, "I'm not in love"

It's the laughter, it's the plunge
Things are simple when they're done
Slide behind the curtain from the rough
On the way over, I said I love him
I said, "It's not enough"

He said, "Did you even go to the co-op
If you don't come back singing the pop song
That was on?"

My favourite place on Portland Road
Was between the radiator and some trash TV, let's go
Half your furniture we found on the street outside
Hey, somebody is throwing out a perfectly good peace of mind
A perfectly good peace of mind

Did you even go to the Co-op
If you don't come back singing the pop song
That was on?
You said I couldn't fit that in a song
You said I couldn't leave here, you're not wrong
Oh

I've learnt to apologise
Learnt to trust somebody with my body, I
Learnt there's a life outside mine
Press the trigger, take this picture
