Quiz Show Clue Songtext
von Maxïmo Park

I took a painting
In the hope of getting rich
There′s been
A hitch
I find no value
In the sum of all my art
But I won't
Lose heart
I thought by reading
I would then improve my lot
But no
What rot

I don′t exist
And nor do you
We're just a footnote now
A quiz show clue


Write down your post code
And we'll see if you could fit
No, that′s not it
I kept on pleading
With my eyes but not my mouth
My plans
Went south
I got boxed in
And I was blocked
From the home straight
I took
The bait

I don′t exist
And nor do you
We're just a footnote now
A quiz show clue

Come with me
On a flight of fantasy
Where we can be
Who we want to be
Come with me
On a flight of fantasy
Where we can be
Who we want to be

I don′t exist
And nor do you
We're just a footnote now
A quiz show clue


I get consumed by ideas
In a full room
And so do you
And I got carried
I got carried away
I got carried away
Carried away
Carried away
I got carried
I got carried away
I got carried away
Carried away
Carried away
