Jewel case, shrink wrapped CD containing 16-page booklet of lyrics and libretto. Bonus track on CD, "Kicked The Wall In My Sleep", not available elsewhere!
A positive observation of the goings-on in your average supermarket queue for the till.
lyrics
Checkout idling
The man in front pays on a card
Just for a bag of mint creams
Checkout idling
There’s the conveyor belt, jerking along
Waking the girl from her dreams
When you put your mind to it
You can do whatever you want
When you put your mind to it
You can do whatever you want
If you get inclined to it
You can do whatever you want
Checkout idling
Holding profanities under my breath
While I’m arranging my cans
Neck out
Sidling up to the chip and pin
Fate worse than death
Girl says “Hello” as she scans
When you put your mind to it
You can do whatever you want
If you want to strike through it
You can be as bold as this font
When you put your mind to it
You can do whatever you want
You can do whatever you want…….
Checkout idling
Head for the overspill, laden with bags
Stopped for a light by a tramp
When you put your mind to it
You can do whatever you want
If you want to strike through it
You can be as bold as this font
When you put your mind to it
You can do whatever you want
When you put your mind to it……..
When you put your mind to it
You can do whatever you want
When you put your mind to it
You can do whatever you want
When you put your mind to it……
You can do whatever you want……
