Shopping Trolley Lyrics

I've been reeling home
A broken shopping trolley
Wheels on the wrong

How come wisdom
Came on strong
But it's too late to be done

Words are but dust of stars
When they collide
I get lost in the sparks

Explode into the dark
And move like light on the sea

I think I'm gonna cry
But I'm gonna laugh about it
All in time

I know I'm gonna cry
But I'm gonna laugh about it
All in time, all in time

My head's hanging so low
I'm kicking it
When I walk down the road

And your words explode
Employ a search light to see
I think I'm gonna...

It takes me unawares
All the magic that hides
Inside your stares

Always one more peak to climb
It really seems there is no finishing line

I think I'm gonna cry...

No one has commented this song? My god. Well, its amazing. It's how I feel most of the time. Dear, dear Beth. I love her.

Cover art for Shopping Trolley lyrics by Beth Orton

It seems like she feels as though she did something wrong, maybe said something wrong to someone and she feels really bad about it. She understands that she can't take it back and maybe in the future it will be something she can look back and laugh about. But right now, she feels like she can never do anything right, and so all she feels she can do is cry.
