Russian Literature - Maxïmo Park

Modern architecture

Already left to decay

You don’t know what you’re breathing in

What it is, I couldn’t say

We’ll meet in Russian Literature

Fourth Floor midday

Travelling Trans-Pennine

She said she’d wait

More empty buildings for invisible men

No market value to justify the price of the rent

Ignorance isn’t bliss

Familiarity still ends in contempt

We’re gonna need some time

But she said she’d wait for me

Are you hopeful or just gullible?

Are you hopeful or just gullible?

She won’t be saved

We can’t be saved

I can’t live my life being nervous about tomorrow

I already knew her name

I already knew her name

There’s a news blackout ‘cause it just got worse

Status depends on the size of your purse

There it is again — that lock of hair that won’t sit still

Our earthly pleasures

Distract us against our will

We won’t be saved

She can’t be saved

I can’t live my life feeling nervous about tomorrow

I already knew her name

I already knew

She won’t be saved

We can’t be saved

I can’t live my life feeling nervous about tomorrow

I already knew her name

I already knew

Well, I knew her name
