Fairytale in the Supermarket - The Raincoats

It makes no difference

Night or day

No one teaches you how to live

Cups of tea are a clock

A clock, a clock, a clock

The times I forgot but never forgot

I don’t know the books that you read

But you don’t say that

Love never externalizes

You’re rereading a book

To feel reassured

By the life of your favorite hero

But don’t worry, honey don’t worry

This is just a fairytale

Happening in the supermarket

The roots of your thoughts

They’re essentially polaroidal

When you look at my picture

Don’t say it’s your mirror

Don’t say we’re both paranoid

Tear me — make me glad

Don’t ask me anything

I’m no secret agent

Got no colours to give to you

But don’t worry, honey don’t worry

This is just a fairytale

Happening in the supermarket
