Maximo Park

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 many ties around my neck
I wake up and I find a trace of you there.
So sullen
Your words haunt the air
I wake up and I find a trace of you there.
So sullen
Taking long walks in perfect silence
Joined together in useless harmony
Your hard breath means that you are upset
An overheated Northwest bliss.
