When you're young and in love
Intrepid impulsive
You can be forgiven
For small indiscretions

Well...
We were kissin' in back of the motor
clothes off and steamy
until it was over

we straighten our clothing
got out of the motor
at back of the superstore car park

We fancied some chocolate
Biscuits and cola
Went to the
auto
mated
check
out

Beep
Beep
Beep

'have you scanned your club card?'
the automation posed

well no I bloody hadn't, these things get up my nose

'all your points add up'

not to a blooming lot
my girlfriend grinned, held on my arm
i hated automated charm

she knew that when it said

'unknown item in the bagging area'

tippin' me toward hysteria
I couldn't wait to leave

'don't forget your change
especially your notes?

do automated checkouts
look at me and gloat?

as we walked off
a happy couple
hadn't wanted any trouble

Distinctive auto voice called out

'Thank you
for fucking
at Tescos'
