Sophie
From this life you’ve gotta set me free
I’m coming to you from the other side
Come and change my life

Sophie
I wanna be around your company
I’ll pin my name badge on with pride
Captain of your side

I’ve read about your interest
And your promises of five pounds ten an hour
And your complimentary breakfast after six months oh
(I feel so excited I just can’t explain)
Honey take me on

Sophie
From this life you’ve gotta set me free
I’m coming to you from the other side
Come and change my life

Sophie
I want the shop soiled honey for free
I wanna scan it from the left to the right
Pick me over-time

Sophie
I’ll even work all day on checkout three
I’ll pack the bags with the frozen inside
Be your perfect guy

Sophie
I know you’ll make a super saver of me
I’ve got my pension and I’ll do my time
Be your man for life

Sitting in the staffroom
with pat-time Zanzibar
He doesn’t want it like me
He doesn’t care like me

You walked in the room
And you gave him a bakers coat
But what about me?
What will I be?

Sophie
You’ve me worried girl I’m all at sea
You’ve got that bad news look in your eye
Please don’t make me cry

Sophie
I wanna be around your company
I’ll pin my name badge on with pride
See how hard I try, I’ll try
Captain of your side

So you gestured for me to follow
And you handed me a white coat paused and smiled
Then the plastic shoes and hairnet
How my heart leapt
(I feel so excited I just can’t explain)
I could have kissed the sky

Sophie
Found a place behind the deli for me
And now I see you from the other side
Me and ham for life

Sophie
I’m better than the guy on checkout three
And Zanzibar in his bakers coat
I’m your man for life

Sophie
I saw you flash your silver Clubcard at me
I’m gonna get one before I die
Make the till girls sigh, I’ll try
Captain of your side
