Lyrics
Trolley
You can be in a forest in Western Cameroon
Or at the Vatican saying a prayer
You could have even been the first person on the moon
You'll still find a supermarket trolley there
You could be in the Grand Canyon, Arizona
Or in Venice sipping coffee in St Mark's
You know that just round the next corner
A supermarket trolley will be parked
Chorus
There was one around the time of the Wall Street Crash
Such high inflation and soaring prices
One was at the latest reunion of Crosby, Stills & Nash
And at the Cuban Missile Crisis
Instru
Verse
Sunbathing on the beach at Lanzarote
Or pitching tent in the foothills of Everest
Sitting in the gallery at the trial of John Gotti
Abandoned near the courthouse, yes you've guessed
Chorus
There was one around the time of the Wall Street Crash
Such high inflation and soaring prices
One was at the latest reunion of Crosby, Stills & Nash
And at the Cuban Missile Crisis
Outro
A trolley
On the grassy knoll
A trolley
At the birth of rock'n'roll
A trolley
At the Big Bang
A trolley
When the world began
A trolley
A supermarket trolley
