Binladeda pinged me a delicious little reggae based backing track a few weeks ago for me to play with. At first I didn't have any ideas lyrics wise then inspiration called when I was at the Supermarket along with the hordes, some who seem to treat it as a day out
I hate those places but they're a necessity.
So, Supermarket Hero was born. I dropped in a dub section and some horns and mixed it up a bit.
Here's the result....

Tills go ping at the supermarket
Check the price of the two for one bargains
Swing your scanner from your low slung belt
Clear the shelves of things that melt
Living your life of mindless TV
Lay in bed to well gone three
Make your visit to get your fix
That's the way that retail ticks
You Whinge – You Whine – You Binge – You Moan
Then you go to the shops
Better be quick to collect your points
Run down the aisle full of discount joints
People queuing for the latest offer
Take the advice of your personal shopper
Elbow your way to the front of the queue
That's the sensible thing to do
Grab the goods from the top of the shelf
That one's yours – There's no-one else
You Whinge – You Whine – You Binge – You Moan
Then you go to the shops
What a day, it's been exhausting
A life of retail can be pretty daunting
Spinning home in your fancy wheels
All stocked up with your ready cooked meals
You Whinge – You Whine – You Binge – You Moan
Then you go to the shops
What a mindless greedy culture
Wheeling overhead like a starving vulture
Who knows where, who knows when
You'll start your shopping over again
