Wasteland

Maxïmo Park

    Continues after the ad

    Not for no reason do they call this a wasteland
    This is the place where your mind isn't wanted
    Springs so cruel since it stops us pretending
    Many a place for a good confrontation

    There is no time for the lost generation
    Inevitably it's a generalisation
    But innocence leaves like a trivialisation

    The devil in me made a pact with naievity
    I keep you close with a memory
    The devil in me keeps a record of his misery
    I keep you close with a memory

    Judging by your reaction
    I'll be taking to no further action
    It's then I know that I know when I need you
    Then I know that I know when I need you
    I know that I know when I need you

    Continues after the ad

    And not for no reason do they call this a wasteland
    The century sighs because life's in the margin
    The casual stance of the size is reluctance
    Ritual needs like a cosy conclusion

    Destiny screams till it turns to a whimper
    You see it on screen but there's a flaw in the picture
    Maybe there's space for the smallest suggestion

    The devil in me made a pact with naievity
    I keep you close with a memory
    The devil in me keeps a record of his misery
    I keep you close with a memory

    Forging a new vocabulary seems like the only answer
    Then I show that I know that I need you
    When I show that I know when I need you
    I show that I know when I need you

    Judging by your reaction
    I'll be taking to no further action
    Then I know that I know that I when need you
    Then I know that I know that I when need you

    Forging a new vocabulary seems like the only answer
    Then I show that I know that I need you
    When I show that I know when I need you
    I show that I know when I need you
    I show that I know when I need you
    Then I'll know
