“Paco!” is the sixth track on Ladytron’s debut album 604. It was originally released in 1999 on the EP “Miss Black and Her Friends”. The track is sung by Mira Aroyo and can be interpreted as being a song about shoplifting.
[Chorus]
Ground floor, ladies' clothes, sportswear, stationery
First floor, kitchenware, furnishings, confectionery
Second floor, children's toys, back to school, mini-pool
Fourth floor, electronic, fake antiques, and lingerie
I saw your face on the black-and-white screen
I knew your name from the checkout machine
You don't have to spend, you just have to pretend
[Chorus]
Ground floor, ladies' clothes, sportswear, stationery
First floor, kitchenware, furnishings, confectionery
Second floor, children's toys, back to school, mini-pool
Fourth floor, electronic, fake antiques, and lingerie
I saw your face on the black-and-white screen
I knew your name from the checkout machine
You don't have to spend, you just have to pretend
[Interlude]
[Chorus]
Ground floor, ladies' clothes, sportswear, stationery

I knew your name from the checkout machine
You don't have to spend, you just have to pretend
