Maximo Park Russian Literature Lyrics

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, fourth floor, midday

Traveling Trans Pennine, she said she'd wait



More empty buildings for invisible men

No market value to justify the price of the rent

Ignorance isn't bliss, familiarity still ends in contempt

We're gonna need some time

But she said she'd 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, and I knew her name



There's a news blackout 'cause 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 pleasures 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
