Maximo Park - Russian Literature lyrics

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

For floode day

Travel in transpenines

She said she'd wait

More empty buildings

For invisible men

No market vaule to justify the price of the rent

Ignorance isn't bliss

Familiarity still enters contempt

We're going to need sometime

But she said she'd wait for me

(Wait for me)

(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

Well I knew her name

There's a news blackout

'Cus 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 pleasure distract us against our will

(Against our will)

Are you hopeful or just gullible?

Are you hopeful or just gullible?

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!
