lyrics

Hand-finished, the human touch
Special person you crave so much
Life’s little luxuries, you are what you eat
Take what you’re given and call it a treat

Kenyan beans with Guatemalan skate
Third world’s in front you sitting on a plate
Something new, something unique
Something mysterious, something to eat
Roast duck with a hoisin plum sauce
Katsu chicken and arctic sliced octopus
You deserve their finest, you’ve surely earned the best
Tell yourself you’re extra special, a cut about the rest
Eyes and wallet open wide as you survey the shelves
Blindly we make Hobson’s choice and then we stuff ourselves

Hand-finished, the human touch
Special person you crave so much
Life’s little luxuries, you are what you eat
Take what you’re given and call it a treat

[Interlude]

Hand-finished, the human touch
Special person you crave so much
Life’s little luxuries, you are what you eat
Take what you’re given and call it a treat

They’re premium priced products but you’re not sorry
They’re worth a moment’s satisfaction as you put them in the trolley
They’re specially selected, luxuries made for you
Premium products and taste the difference, the rest will just make do

Rope hung Scottish, boxed smoked salmon
Free range, air-dried, beech-smoked gammon
Rope hung Scottish, boxed smoked salmon
Free range, air-dried, beech-smoked gammon

Hand-finished, the human touch
The special person you crave so much
Life’s little luxuries, you are what you eat
Take what you’re given and call it a treat
