The Unshockable Songtext
von Maxïmo Park

The lines of transport make their way through towns
The lines of transport make their way through towns

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 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
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
I′ve spent too many hours in bed
Do you think this is cruel?

Sniggering clowns in laughter
We hide behind our hands
Take them away, move away
Stand up straight, keep turning

Have we become the unshockable?
Or have we become the saddened?
Activity is absent
And things are looking scarce
Have we become the unshockable?
Or have we become the saddened?
Activity is absent
And things are looking scarce

Conceal those thoughts that linger on your breath
Keep them hidden or they'll catch their death
Oh, conceal those thoughts that linger on your breath
Keep them hidden or they'll catch their death

The lines of transport make their way through towns
The lines of transport make their way through towns


Have we become the unshockable?
Or have we become the saddened?
Activity is absent
And things are looking scarce
Have we become the unshockable?
Or have we become the saddened?
Activity is absent
And things are looking scarce
