maxïmo park – why must a building burn lyrics
do you need a flag
to know who you are?
did you get intentionally left behind?
there’s a curve in the road
that i intimately know
and, you know, i got caught on that curve before
why must a building burn
before a lesson is learned?
an unoriginal thought
i’ve often fallen short
if i could bottle the tonic of your laughter i would
a girl running at night
clutching a rectangle of light
still fills her lungs with the dust of a life
why must a building burn
before the powerful learn?
i saw a picture (i saw a picture)
beamed right through me (beamed right through me)
i was stunned to recognise your smiling face
a family photo (a family photo)
one of many (one of many)
i was stunned to recognise your smiling face
i was hoping for a message to tell me you were here
i was waiting for a message to tell me you were here
i was hoping for a message to tell me you were here
i saw a picture (i saw a picture)
on my telly (on my telly)
i was stunned to recognise your smiling face
it was you
it was you
it was you all along
