Cornershop Lyrics

Get your fat ass off the acetate into
Down twen'y stairs
It came from the rest There,
goes to rest in the heart
"First I was a foreignerâ??"
Then suddenly "Everything (is) was cool forever"

This Western Oriental's going full circle
This Western Oriental's going full circle

Last number recall
Told me what you were up to
Put the volume down on adverts
To enthasis how sad they are
Mar ships sexier
And from all the above

This Western Oriental's going full circle
This Western Oriental's going full circle
