Russian Literature Lyrics - Maximo Park

Modern Architecture 

Already left to decay 

You don't know what you're breathing in 

What it is, I couldn't say 

We'll meet in Russian Literature 

Fourth Floor midday 

Travelling Trans-Pennine 

She said she'd wait... 

More empty buildings for invisible men 

No market value to justify the price of the rent 

Ignorance isn't bliss, 

Familiarity still ends in contempt 

We're gonna need some time 

But she said she'd wait for me... 

Are you hopeful or just gullible? 

Are you hopeful or just gullible? 

She won't be saved 

We can't be saved 

I can't live my life being nervous about tomorrow 

I already knew her name 

I already knew her name 

There's a news blackout 'cause it just got worse 

Status depends on the size of your purse 

There it is again that lock of hair 

That won't sit still 

Our earthly pleasures 

Distract us against our will... 

Are you hopeful or just gullible? 

Are you hopeful or just gullible? 

We won't be saved 

She can't be saved 

I can't live my life feeling nervous about tomorrow 

I already knew her name 

I already knew 

She won't be saved 

We can't be saved 

I can't live my life feeling nervous about tomorrow 

I already knew her name 

I already knew 

Well, I knew her name
