Maximo Park Great Art
[Verse 1]
The more that you venture into the night
The braver you become
But I can't go further - the future's too bright
Because the blaze has just begun
[Chorus]
Is this the great art you were hoping for?
While the emotionally numb waged a quiet war
Did you know it's not the eighties any more?
I've got a hundred new distractions banging at my door
[Verse 2]
A double-decade of doubt awaits, so incremental
But the loses will be too hard to rate
A median score, [?] are lost in the loaded
So the land never sees, what the blue sea eroded
[Chorus]
Is this the great art you were hoping for?
While the emotionally numb waged a quiet war
Did you know it's not the eighties any more?
I've got a hundred new distractions banging at my door
[Bridge]
You can't fault my application
On the basis of my education
Did you pay for a network provider?
The parental payroll has just made me blinder
[Chorus]
Is this the great art you were hoping for?
While the emotionally numb waged a quiet war
Did you know it's not the eighties any more?
I've got a hundred new distractions banging at my door
[Outro]
It's hard not to hope that you will rot
The exception to the rule never meant that much to you
It's hard not to hope that you will rot
But "I will endeavour to be kind"
Is lodged in a crevice in the recesses of my mind
