The Unshockable Lyrics - Maximo Park

The lines of transport 

Make their way through towns 

The lines of transport 

Make their way through towns 

At any cost, name a price 

Digging through towns 

Make way like Moses through the waves 

Pick and choose from a folklore 

To describe the biggest events 

(Did I make it all?) 

Did I make it all up? 

Detritus gathers 

Until dirt is the only layer you see 

Scratch away, scrape away 

Lacerate, keep scratching 

Have we become the unshockable? 

Or have we become the saddened? 

Activity is absent, things are looking scarce 

The human heart is on trial for a limited spell 

A human heart is on offer for a limited spell 

Your body was your great strength 

How do you feel now there's nothing left? 

The moment's gone 

For me, you spent too many hours in bed 

(Do you think this is) 

Do you think this is cruel? 

Sniggering clowns 

In laughter we hide behind our hands 

Take them away, move them away 

Stand up straight, keep turning 

Have we become the unshockable? 

Or have we become the saddened? 

Activity is absent, things are looking scarce 

Have we become the unshockable? 

Or have we become the saddened? 

Activity is absent, things are looking scarce 

Conceal those thoughts that linger on your breath 

Keep them hidden or they'll catch their death 

Conceal those thoughts that linger on your breath 

Keep them hidden or they'll catch their death 

The modes of transport 

Forge their way through towns 

The modes of transport 

Forge their way through towns 

Take them away, move them away 

Take them away, keep turning 

Take them away, move them away 

Take them away, keep turning 

Have we become the unshockable? 

Or have we become the saddened? 

Activity is absent, things are looking scarce 

Have we become the unshockable? 

Or have we become the saddened? 

Activity is absent, things are looking scarce
