Unshockable Lyrics

Maximo Park - Unshockable 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 a folklore To describe the biggest events Did I make it all up? Detritus gathers Until dirt is the only layer you see Scratch away, scrape away Lacerate, keep scratching! Have we become The Unshockable? Or have we become The Saddened? Activity is absent Things are looking scarce The human heart is on trial for a limited spell A 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 moment's gone For me, you spent too many hours in bed Do you think this is cruel? Sniggering clowns In 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 The Saddened? Activity is absent And things are looking scarce Have we become The Unshockable? Or have we become The Saddened? Activity is absent And things are looking scarce Conceal those thoughts that linger On your breath Keep them hidden Or they'll catch their death Conceal those thoughts that linger On your breath Keep them hidden Or they'll catch their death The modes of transport forge their way through towns The modes of transport forge their way through towns Take them away, move them away Take them away, keep turning! Take them away, move them away Take them away, keep turning! Have we become The Unshockable? Or have we become The Saddened? Activity is absent And things are looking scarce Have we become The Unshockable? Or have we become The Saddened? Activity is absent And things are looking scarce
