Death Goes Shopping ? 2008 Graeme Hobbs
In these grey and grainy days of revelation
As the dark and murky waters start to rise
And each and everything is turning pearshaped
It seems to happen right before your very eyes
So be biblical like dear old Mr Noah
Build a metaphoric ark and float away
You'll be saving all the animals and righteous
You can save them for a rainy shopping day
Nothing cheers you up like going shopping
It's guaranteed to get you out the dumps
Nothing cheers you up like going shopping
Find a bargain and you know you'll come up trumps
Armageddon's waiting just around the corner
The apocalypse is just around the bend
Don't you worry even though the sky is falling
Get yer skates on you can still go out and spend
Pestilence and war and death and famine
Nothing comes between a woman and new shoes
I think I've really died and really gone to heaven
Eternal shopping with no checkouts and no queues
