Your Friday Clash Song: Came In Here For That Special Offer …

“Lost In The Supermarket,” from London Calling (1979). Of course.

Because, what else’re ya gonna play the day after Thankgsiving:

I’m all lost in the supermarket 


I can no longer shop happily, 


I came in here for that special offer 


Guaranteed personality

Hey, who hasn’t been there?           

Oh, and here’s a live version. Because I care.

I’m all tuned in, I see all the programmes 


I save coupons from packets of tea 


I’ve got my giant hit discoteque album 


I empty a bottle and I feel a bit free …

A perfect song for that special hell that is the holiday shopping season.

Turn. It. Up.
