The Unshockable Songtext
von Maxïmo 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 the folklore
To describe the biggest events
Did I make it? Did I make it all up?

The tritus gathers, until dirt is the only layer you see
Scratch away, scrap away
Lacerate
Keep scratching!

Have we become the unshockable
Or have we become this saddened?
Activities absolute, and things are looking scarce

The human heart is on trial for a limited spell
The 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 cool?

Secret clowns, and 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 this saddened?
Activities absolute, and things are looking scarce!

Have we become the unshockable
Or have we become this saddened?
Activities absolute, and 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 lines of transport forge their way through towns
The moods 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 this saddened?
Activities absolute, and things are looking scarce!

Have we become the unshockable
Or have we become this saddened?
Activities absolute, and things are looking scarce!
