“Tesko Suicide” is about how the media tends to glamorize self-inflicted death. The songs title comes from the England supermarket ‘Tesco’ a very popular nationwide supermarket over there.

[Verse 1]
Phone me and I'll hang up
Sick and tired of being bubble gum chewed up
Dark lane, bleak house shrinking rose
You're over and out
[Pre-Chorus]
Tying cherry bootstrings
Put your candy teeth in
Giving out the sweetheart
Hang up, hang up, hang up
[Chorus]
Go on girls, solo
Go on girls, take a chance
Go on girls, trust it
Go on girls, the truth is
[Verse 2]
Cut your hair, wear a chip on your shoulder
Get ahead, get laid, get it over
Cheap show, back seat martyr's pose
You're over and out
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm checking out of my senses
Buying best defences
Putting on the trousers
Hang up, hang up, hang up
[Chorus]
Go on girls, solo
Go on girls, take a chance
Go on girls, trust it
Go on girls, the truth is
So, so single
So low, the truth is
[Verse 3]
You want the day to fit to a soundtrack
Get a story, get a life, and get back
You've got nothing to shout about
You're over and out
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm checking out of my senses
Buying best defences
Fired up on free-will
Hang up, hang up, hang up
[Chorus]
Go on girls, solo
Go on girls, take a chance
Go on girls, trust it
Go on girls, the truth is
So, so single
So low, the truth is
So, so single
So low, the truth is
