| Let's take this line by line: Lady Supermarket with an apple in her basket Knocks in the manager's door; Grooving to the muzak from a speaker in shoe rack Lays out her goods on the floor (UNDRESSES AND LIES DOWN, SHOWING THE MANAGER HER BODILY ASSETS) Everything she's chosen is conveniently frozen. (COOL MANNER) Eat it and come back for more! (CAN BE AN ORAL SEX REFERENCE) Lady Window Shopper with a new one in the hopper Whips up a chemical brew; Croaking to a neighbour while she polishes a sabre (PLANS TO KILL HER PARTNER, ALSO MAY BE POLISHING THE "PINK SWORD" OF THE HANDSOME CABALLERO NEXT DOOR) Knows how to flavour a stew. Never need to worry with a tin of 'Hurri Curri': Poisoned especially for you! (EITHER LITERALLY -- A MURDERESS, OR FIGURATIVELY -- SHE JUST CAN'T COOK) No use to complain If you're caught out in the rain; Your mother's quite insane. (MAN COMPLAINING TO HIS SON ABOUT HIS PARTNER) Cat food cat food cat food again. (eVERYTHING THE PARTNER MAKES LOOKS AND TASTES LIKE CAT FOOD BECAUSE SHE SUCKS MAJOR SWORD IN THE CULINARY DEPT.) Lady Yellow Stamper with a fillet in a hamper Dying to finish the course; Goodies for the table with a fable on the label Drowning in miracle sauce. Don't think I am that rude if I tell you that it's cat food Not even fit for a horse! (AGAIN, REFERENCE TO LACK OF COOKING SKILLS) | |

| The piano riff in the beginning is crazy. | |

| CuteSparkina, you couldn't be more wrong. This song should just be taken at face value - processed foods are bad (see Pete Sinfield's solo album, the track Wholefood Boogie, to get the other side of this song) | |

| At it's basic, it's about how processed foods are incredibly unhealthy and are no better than cat food. | |
