In-store music in supermarkets provides no great salve for the monstrous costs and greedflation on display.
However, if there has to be a soundtrack to one's ire at Tesco's latest mushy peas price-hike, then it could be worse than John Holt's, Help Me Make It Through The Night. I was almost jaunty.

R-E-L-E-A-S-E - by Lammy Wynette
His R-E-L--E-A-S-E came early today
Him and another L-A-G got clean away
Now they're on the run, because of what they've done
In the past, Illegally
Oh I can't believe this accidental R-E-L-E-A-S-E
