Wow what a song. It rises from a seemingly mundane beginning through a melody which will just not leave your head to the line
"As I lift my groceries in to my car
I turn back for a moment and catch a smile
That blows this whole fucking place apart"
which is incredibly unexpected and gives so much extra resonance to the infatuation.
Personally, I feel that only men of a certain age can truly understand what Bruce is getting at here. It's about more than unrequited love - it's about the role of supermarkets for singles rendezvous, and about you settle in to looking for friendship, love and inspiration within your own narrow band of daily experience.
