Lyrics

Record Shop

[Verse 1]

There's a house in North Yorkshire where they both stay

And they turn on the TV to catch the daily pain

Whilst me and you, we've broken down on the motorway

AA, police cars, we're being towed away again

[Chorus]

So I think I'll go down the record shop

Yeah, I think I'll go down the record shop just to get away

Just to get away

Just to get away

Just to get away

[Verse 2]

So they go to their local to get their daily intake

Staring at their walking boots just wondering if this has come too late

Whilst we're lying here and you're stroking my nipples on the stairs

But in the back of my mind I'm waiting for this to just end up in tears

[Chorus]

So I think I'll go down the record shop

Yeah, I think I'll go down the record shop

And yeah, I think I'll go down the record shop just to get away

Just to get away

Just to get away

Just to get away

Just to get away
