This one relates to the never ending hassle of everyday life, pictured through the eyes and minds of someone in the midst of trolleys, toddlers, groceries and car breakdowns. All in the name of family fun and the struggle for life in the cities (and suburbs)

lyrics

(We’re walking down the )
Aisle, roller cart in
Front, chasing groceries
Down, it’s daytime in down-
town, walking down the
Aisle, on this Island of our
dreams, getting all the things we
need, to keep the wee one in the
lead

(In the coming)
Days, in the coming
weeks, months and
years, where nothing will be
done, except
making ends meet, while we rock the kid to
sleep, rolling through
busy city
streets

Putting on a
smile, though our car just broke
down, in the middle of the
street, guess we’ll be walking back to
town, back to the
aisles, and the everyday
run, what we used to do for
fun, is just a distant memory

Though we still might think that we want it
Once in a while we give our friends a call
Stay up and drink untill the day breaks
But then we move back to the aisles, to the
aisles, to the aisles, to the
aisles, in the coming
