St John's Lyrics

I went to the supermarket today

I went to the supermarket to get myself some food

Because I've not had a proper meal in a while

Stroll into the supermarket today

Run around the clothing aisle and bump into an old friend

And say nothing, I turn my back and walk away

Later on I'm pushing down the milk aisle

Thinking how I should have said something to her

the last time I saw her, her mother was still alive

And I walked over the broken glass

I walked over her broken glass

I walked over the broken glass of her motorcycle crash

Strolling down the medicinal aisle

Pick a pack of St John's and hope he'll make me smile

and I get out of there, grabbing some deodorant

Shove it over the St John's, stuff myself down the sweets aisle

and hope I can get out before they catch me here

And before I know it, who is there, but my old head of school, no my old head of year

And I cannot believe that this is happening to me

'Cause I'm at the checkout and he's right next door

and even though his hair's not ginger anymore I still know it's him

I don't know if he knows it's me

Since then I've started taking drugs, there's a lot more to me

And I'm thinking that as I pass St. John's through the supermarket to me

I went to the supermarket today

I won't be going there in a while, I am telling you

I am not getting out for a bit

I'll sit here and suckle St John's

Yeah I'll sit here and suck on St John's

Yeah I'll sit here and be with St John's for a while
