Maximo Park: A 19 - Tekst piosenki

A footbridge calls out, dull metal moans as we clamber overPaint is repelled and bronze grips hardI can't touch such an ugly surface250 miles away, you need money to spread your wingsEach town must bear a nameA lasting testament to organizationSobbing and SighingThe scales are falling from your eyesGreen metal grows, towers topplingThey tore it down before I took my pictureA19, I can't settle downThe same attitude engulfs this countryMy only aspirations were those held on an A4 printoutBut those word weren't in my repertoireYou can't cling to a reputationSobbing and SighingThe scales are falling from your eyesTossing and TurningThe truth should come as no surpriseA continent could fall tonightAnd it would have no impact on our livesIt's okay to love the way that something looksJust be sure beneath it something hooks
