it won't be long now - Spearmint

This shop sells everything

You ever really need

I’m standing looking up

At the sign above this

Tweny-four months ago

The paintwork was perfect

The writing fashionable

The name, it seemed so funny

Tweny-four months ago

It had so much potential

Maybe that was in my head

All the people

Who’ve done extra hours for me

All the people

Who keep things ticking over

They’re just friends really

But when I’m in the money

I’ll say thank you

I’m pretty sure of that

It won’t be long now

It’s the best it’s been now

This shop is all I ever wanted

It’s quiet now but all the signs are good

I’ve dropped my prices

I’ve increased my hours

Saved, borrowed

Done without

All my time and money have gone into this

I believe the tide has turned

This shop is me

This shop is this country

It’s insignificant

But feels so important

In in your heart

You don’t really expect me

To succeed with this

Just what exactly

Do you expect me to do?

This shop is me

This shop is this country

I spend so much time looking

I can no longer see…

If in your heart

You don’t really expect me

To succeed with this then

What exactly

(do you expect of me?)

Do you expect of me?

(sometimes I feel so down)

It won’t be long now

(can't you see I’m hurt)

It’s the best it’s been now

This shop sells everything…
