I promised you a villa in the south of France
You said you were a trust fund baby, thanks to old mom and Dad
Turns out that we’re just having a laugh

We live above the shop

We’d live a life of style and modern poetry
But reality sets in a corner grocery

I’m just glad that you’re spending your time with me

We live above the shop

Clothespins and batteries right up front
If you need a bottle of wine, down the aisle and turn to the right

Clothespins and batteries right up front
If you need a bottle of wine, down the aisle and turn to the right

Early lives just inarticulate youth
Growing old is just a list of things to do
I’m just glad that I’m doing it with you

We live above the shop
We live above
We live above
We live above the shop
