Ground floor: ladies clothes, sportswear stationery
First floor: kitchenware, furnishings, confectionary
Second floor: childrens toys, back to school, many more
Fourth floor: electronic, fake antiques, and lingerie
I saw your face on the black and white screen
I knew your name from the checkout machine
You don't have to spend you just have to pretend

What annoys me is that they never mention what's on the 3rd floor!?
this song is about knowing people who allow you to shoplift.
I've always felt it was either about shoplifting and yes, the people who allow you to do it, or, if we were a much happier, beautiful place, it would be about window shopping. But yeah, very unlikely as the two lines that precede the last sorta blow that out of the water.
Or it could be about stalking someone in a department store you've been to before.
perhaps it's about a secret shopper?
This song always makes me laugh coz when I was younger a friend and I decided it symbolised our Saturday afternoons hanging around town and going in shops just to see the fit shop boys who we would never actually manage to strike up proper conversations with. It fits apart from the "I saw your face on the black and white screen" bit.
Haha, somehow the first part reminds me of the simpsons episode where Moe couldn't write a poem for a big writer's convention and just copied what was on the lift sign:
Seems like Ladytron did almost the same thing but of course I know it's intentional, to make a point about the song. :)
Men's wear is on the 3rd floor, duh!!
