The Unshockable - Maxïmo Park

The lines of transport make their way through towns

The lines of transport make their way through towns

At any cost, name a price

Digging through towns

Make way, like Moses through the waves

Pick and choose, from the folklore to describe the biggest events

Did I make it all up?

The tritus gathers, until dirt is the only layer you see

Scratch away, scrap away

Lacerate

Keep scratching!

Have we become the unshockable or Have we become this saddened?

Activities absolute, and things are looking scarce!

The human heart is on trial for a limited spell

The human heart is on offer for a limited spell

Your body was your great strength

How do you feel, now there’s nothing left?

The moments gone for me, you spent too many hours in bed

Do you think this is (Do you think this is?) Cool?

Cigarette clowns, and laughter

We hide behind our hands

Take them away, move them away

Stand up straight

Keep turning!

Have we become the unshockable or Have we become this saddened?

Activities absolute, and things are looking scarce!

Have we become the unshockable or Have we become this saddened?

Activities absolute, and things are looking scarce!

Conceal those thoughts

That ring linger on your breath

Keep them hidden

Or they’ll catch their death

Conceal those thoughts

That ring linger on your breath

Keep them hidden

Or they’ll catch their death

The lines of transport forge their way through towns

The moods of transport forge their way through towns

Take them away, move them away

Take them away, keep turning

Take them away, move them away

Keep turning

Have we become the unshockable or Have we become this saddened?

Activities absolute, and things are looking scarce!

Have we become the unshockable or Have we become this saddened?

Activities absolute, and things are looking scarce!
