Sandblasted and Set Free (original instrumental demo) Songtext
von Maxïmo Park

The overlap
The dyed glass
The centrepiece
Sewn-up

Solarised
A dividing line
Like a cog
Standing still

Follow me down this rope ladder
Our bodies becoming shapes on the sails
It′s a leap of faith towards a crash landing
Thin ice softly splinters

Sandblasted and set free
A trial run on paper.
The earth is solid, you can dig it up
Or you can pave it over.


Balconies
Like diving boards
Naked heels
Cotton reels

A poster
A placard
Perspex
Creates a spectrum

Follow me down this rope ladder
Our bodies becoming shapes on the sails
It's a leap of faith; it′s a crash landing
Thin ice softly splinters

Sandblasted and set free
A trial run on paper.
The earth is solid, you can dig it up
Or you can pave it over.

Sandblasted and set free
I fell in love with flirtation
We're moving targets, you can set us up
The brevity of sensation
