Maximo Park - George Brown lyrics

rate me

A tale of 2 acts

One in 1948

One in 62

There’s no justice in trade and industry

Full of promise in integration

Dissolves

Precipitates resentment

When the books that carry

Were built by decorated arms

In rain sodden yards

Then the gulf appears wider

Two islands colliding

When the books that carry

Were built by decorated arms

In rain sodden yards

The past gets coloured in

I find it frightening

When the books that carry

Were built by decorated arms

In rain sodden yards

A house of cards
