Shopping Trolley

(Beth Orton / Matt Ward)

Lyrics

I've been reeling home
Broken shopping trolley
Wheels on the wrong
How come wisdom
Came on strong
But it’s too late to be done
Words are but dust of stars
When they collide
I get lost in the sparks
Explode into the dark
And move like light on the sea

I think I'm gonna cry
But I'm gonna laugh about it all in time
I know I'm gonna cry
But I'm gonna laugh about it all in time all in time

My head’s hanging so low
I’m kicking it
When I walk down the road
And all your words explode
Employ a search light to see

I think I'm gonna cry
But I'm gonna laugh about it all in time
I know I'm gonna cry
But I'm gonna laugh about this all in time all in time

It takes me unawares
All the magic that hides
Inside your stares
Always one more peak to climb
It really seems there is no finishing line

I think I'm gonna cry
But I'm gonna laugh about it all in time
I know I'm gonna cry
But I'm gonna laugh about it all in time all in time
All in time
All in time
All in time
All in time

Early Version Lyrics

You've been reeling home
Broken shopping trolley
Wheels on the wrong
Seem my wisdom
Came on strong
When it’s too late to be done
Words are but dust of stars
When they collide
They get lost in the sparks
Explode into the dark
And move like light on the sea

I think I'm gonna cry
And I'm gonna laugh about it all in time
I know I'm gonna cry
And I'm gonna laugh about it all in time all in time

Took me unawares
With the magic that hides
Behind your eyes
Always one more peak to climb
Really seems there is no finishing line

I think I'm gonna cry
And I'm gonna laugh about it all in time
I know I'm gonna cry
But I'm gonna laugh about it all in time all in time

I've been reeling home
Broken shopping trolley
Wheels on the wrong
No point in walking to the dance
We'll move like light on the sea

I think I'm gonna cry
And I'm gonna laugh about it all in time
I know I'm gonna cry
But I'm gonna laugh about this all in time all in time
All in time
All in time
