Maximo Park - When I Was Wild Lyrics
Do I really need
To give an introduction?
Must the artist bleed
Over the new production?
In a shadow world
Running parallel
The present follows me
At first it's hard to tell
I was just pushing buttons
I didn't think a...
Maximo Park - Take Me Home Lyrics
And the moon is
hidden tonight,
By a swab of cotton
sodden with light.
(Take me home)
And this is our street corner
Where no-one else has kissed-goodnight
(No-one else)
And this is sacred ground
Whenever you're around.
T...
Maximo Park - Where We're Going Lyrics
'I don't know where we're going,
but you know where we're going
and if you know where we're
going, well that's fine with me.'
I looked in your eyes and they
both told me nothing. I'm reading

Maximo Park - Robert Altman Lyrics
Son of a wealthy gambler
The Mayflower haunts the mother
Employed by the Calvin Company
Before Kansas City Escape
...Minus a letter 'n'
When you were up in the air
Did it make you what you were?
He met a man who had a ...
Maximo Park - Banlieue Lyrics
Motorcycles do figure eights, on the forecourt by the multiplex.
Phone sex via application, the dull swagger of intimidation.
The rush of confusion
Replaced by comprehension
Pixellated punishment
Desire's the only crime
The ...
Maximo Park - Drinking Martinis Lyrics
Above a bar called Tokyo we
watch the post-work traffic flow,
selective of the drinks that we
buy. We used to drink the riverbed
dry, you and I. We act as if the
people we were are gone, but
echoes remain. We act as if the
way that ...
Maximo Park - I Recognise The Light Lyrics
I visit South America via a dead
man's words: undercover priests
and barren parks. I visit through a
different man's images, exercising
in his underwear, laminating the
past. I've never been to Mexico
City, but I recog...
Maximo Park - Is It True? Lyrics
Disappearing into you '" you can
feel me coming through. Is it true?
Close to understanding you '" you

it true? Now that I'm in bed with

tunes, a...
Maximo Park - Overland, West Of Suez Lyrics
Overland the desert sands are born
An all too brief exchange
The details somehow got waylaid
Neither of us were born to be leaders
But you made the first move to escape
Closer than me to the equator
I looked you up on graph paper
...
Maximo Park - Mary O'Brien Lyrics
Bottle blonde
Until the end
Ground down
But not out
Found fame
Faded away
But came back
Influence rubs off
Whether appropriate or not
A less than perfect split
She lifts the cup to her lips
She tries to force it back
Some...
Maximo Park - Give, Get, Take Lyrics
You get a little, you get a little
Then you take a little more
I get a little, I get a little
But I want you more.
I feel this wealth of perspiration
You walked down the inspiration
But here we come in the corner,
We?
You ju...

You get a little, you get a little

Maximo Park - Drinking Martinis Lyrics
Above a bar called tokyo
We watched the coast where traffic flows
Selective of the drinks that we buy
We used to drink the river bed dry
You and I

Maximo Park - Lydia, The Ink Will Never Dry Lyrics
Near the Palace Hotel
Where we used to dwell
Engraved against your wishes
One of your greatest misses
You hope the ink will never dry
You're fooling yourself
You feel set-up
You're telling yourself
You don't believe...

Maximo Park - Her Name Was Audre Lyrics
I'm about the hunt

Maximo Park - My Bloody Mind Lyrics
Blindfolded '" this is no parlour
game. Unfold me so I am free
again. A random phrase is as
good as any. You said you want
to leave, but I saw you standing
there. I look for a reprieve, but then
you just swished your hair. ...
Maximo Park - Wolf Among Men Lyrics
There's nothing wrong with wanting to dance the night away
You always look so clean and tidy anyway
Underneath you're not well
What if I was sick like you?
Underneath it all you're cheap
What if i was cheap like you?
...
Maximo Park - My Bloody Mind Lyrics
Blindfolded '"
This is no parlour game.

So I am free again.

Crooked Stilo - A Tu Manera Lyrics

La Vida es corta hay que gozarla
Hay que aprovecharla o se nos va a pasar

Vivela! Gozala! Disfrutala! Hey!

Maximo Park - Waves Of Fear Lyrics
What a world this is,
But we don't know what to do with it.
Transform yourself - It won't take long to get over it.
You and I will overthrow these waves of fear, these tides of woe.
You and I will overcome
The apathetics w...
Maximo Park - Tanned Lyrics
The younger one
Darkly tanned
Chewing gum
Mint on her mischievous tongue
Mingling with a taste of tin
On her gums
Each layer removed
Revealed a paler shade of skin
Each subtle shade
Felt like a secret shared
She was my reward...
Maximo Park - Pride Before A Fall Lyrics
If I gave you a name
Would you live up to it?
If I gave you a game
Would you play up for me
If I played with your heart
Would you respect me?
If I came on too shy
Would you reject me?
What did I do to you?
Why does it hurt when ...
Maximo Park - Distance Makes Lyrics
Distance makes the heart dissolve
Like little pills cloud water
Dissolving inch by inch
Separating a fraction further
You helped to shape this space
We'd gaze at dancers
The view,it fluctuates
Flattened bodies
Drove on the f...
Maximo Park - Unfamiliar Places Lyrics
I see a row of
sleeping dogs,
I see a poster
of myself.
Memorize the
path I took,
Waiting for sunrise to
Take me home.
I think of you in unfamiliar places
Making you mind up for yourself.
Don't be scared of the life you&...
Maximo Park - The Undercurrents Lyrics
Tumble drain it made my day,
the heaven screams their final raise.
We both have a lot on our plates, somehow the walk was worth the wait.
Tires rush through, when water fresh, sounds like a shell, held to a near.
Same as the hou...
Maximo Park - Write This Down Lyrics
You said you wanted someone just like me
you let me read it in your diary
I'd like to write this out of history
it was an awkward patch
I had an itch to scratch
We spent the summer kissing
in a basement room
learning all the ...
Maximo Park - In Another World (You Would've Found Yourself By Now) Lyrics
You're looking so pleased with yourself.
I'm gonna come over there and wipe that smile off your face.
Petty crimes in your leisure time
You struggled to break out.
Wash away on your cheap mistakes.
Your abstinence; your drou...
Maximo Park - The Penultimate Clinch Lyrics
Bury me
Like dangerous waste.
I'll lay dormant
For a thousand years.
But it's like dismantling
A decommissioned spacecraft.
Some parts you can't destroy.
She fidgets too much.
I've got a bee in my bonnet.
S...
Maximo Park - Calm Lyrics
How many words did you come up with today?
How many words do you want to hear tonight?
You flare up but beneath lies defeat.
I see your eyes now and they are calm.
I've answered enough phones for one life.
I've worn too ma...
Maximo Park - La Quinta Lyrics
Fog began the morning,
the sun ate through the gloom like a single hole punch in a piece of card.
No cartoon beams of light.
Past the townhouse,
straight to central station,
the first time you were dropped off in your brother's c...
Maximo Park - Reluctant Love Lyrics
We lie horizontal holding hands,
you converted me to many things,
it took a moment to make me see.
This time I'm not gonna wait until the winter,
I'm just gonna wait until the springtime.
I need to know how you really f...
Maximo Park - Sandblasted And Set Free Lyrics
The overlap
The dyed glass
The centrepiece
Sewn-up
Solarised
A dividing line
Like a cog
Standing still
Follow me down this rope ladder
Our bodies becoming shapes on the sails
It's a leap of faith towards a crash landing
...
Maximo Park - I Haven't Seen Her In Ages Lyrics
We met at an opening...
A very good place to start.
I threw my body into my actions...
You weren't exactly shy
You lent me your coat for the soft spring rain
I never thought I'd feel this way again
But she ripped me to sh...
Maximo Park - Brain Cells Lyrics
No name tell
Full of paranoia
There's no structure
Of '
We have what we need and we worked to get here
So why is the more that's so fire so near
Did I love anything to do, if I didn't want my brain cells wh...
Maximo Park - Tales Of The Semi-Detached Lyrics
A man was spoiled tonight as he took the air by the waterside
He seemed to hesitate so repentant to participate
Press pause, the dealing's off, events had gone quicker than he'd ever had thought
Head down but there's no-on...
Maximo Park - A Fortnight's Time Lyrics
In a fortnight's time you will be mine
I'll bide my time
You're a paradigm of womankind
You could be mine
I disgust myself, but I've got to try...
I catch your eye
Would you like to go on a date with me?
And I ...
Maximo Park - The Kids Are Sick Again Lyrics
The comforting ache
Of the summer holidays
Pointless days pining
Afternoons whining
The suburbs scream
At passers by
They scream of escape
A mute siren
In wasted light
Hope takes flight
I don't mind losing self-respect
