This song reminds me of a very special girl I met back at the end of 2005. We took in concerts & festivals where Maximo Park were playing over the next 3-5 years. Cant listen to any of their albums without thinking about her and wondering what she's doing now.
bro what is it that everybody has this "summer romance" vibe around Maximo Park? almost like they are a summer rock n roll band when theyre from a pretty fuckin rainy place haha... almost like Simple Minds being from Glasgow were the soundtrack to California summers in the 80s. Now, lets talk about how theyre also so related to "that girl" that smelled incredible and that was gorgeous but was defo not the one. Is like everyone into Maximo Park has had their own kind of Zooey Deschanel. What a band...
This band was the thing for me. I was a Maximo Park girl, and I still am. Couldn't listen to other popular bands associated to the scene, if ya know what I mean. I wasn't very fluorescent and I didn't have any rubies and so on.
Great time for music...must have seen MP about 15 times at various festivals back then....top tune. Right, i'm off to search We Are Scientists, Futureheads and The Rakes....
Was lucky to see them play the Casbah in San Diego around a decade ago. Amazing stage show - like the Adicts in a modern era. Not quite as punk obviously but same energy
My Absolute Favourite Maximo Park song! Reminds me of my sweetheart, Chad. I love this song, especially when I'm listening to it with him. XoxoxoOOoxoxxXX
That’s enough, I can’t take anymore I’m right out of vision, I’m right out of hope You stood me up, just knock me down What’s on your conscience? nothing happens in my town I’ll do graffiti if you sing to me in French What are we doing here if romance isn’t dead? Mind your mouth as you walk with me Take care ooh oh as you cross the street Well that’s enough, I’ve had it up to here I’ve lost my vision, I’ve lost my hope You woke me up, just hand me down You’ve lost your conscience, cause nothing happens in my town I’ll do graffiti if you sing to me in French What are we doing here if romance isn’t dead? Stay in line on the foreign trip Waking up and I need a lift I’ll do graffiti if you sing to me in French What are we doing here if romance isn’t dead? Stay in line on the foreign trip Waking up and I need a lift down to… That’s enough
Have loved this band so much from first hearing them on the of chance on a soccer am dvd when this track was on in the background! Loved them ever since
If I remember right from some interview, Paul said that Duncan had written the lyrics to this song at first. Paul had went over it and put his own take to it but left that line in because it didn't make any sense to the song, yet it felt right. So, I'm not sure if it really suppose to mean anything.
way back in the day i'd bought this album after hearing THIS song. Years later----i still LOVE this song, but the rest of their stuff pretty much sucked. What a great tune though, balls to the wall rock and roll!! their other stuff couldn't match it at all.
you just won't understand it =P, just stop askin, and enjoy the song okay. Thats why people used time to post it, not for you to commet on the text....
