The Kids Are Sick Again Lyrics - Maximo Park

The comforting ache 

Of the summer holidays 

Pointless days pining 

Afternoons whining 

The suburbs scream 

At passers by 

The scream of escape 

A new siren 

Wasted lives 

Hope takes flight 

I don't mind 

Losing self respect 

I've done it before 

And I'll do it again 

I'm stifled tonight 

Which is fine 

I've done it before 

And I'll do it again 

I'm hotter than this 

Under regular beams of light 

Toothpaste smiles 

Don't seem so bright 

I'm marching on 

Don't revise 

I don't mind 

Losing self respect 

I've done it before 

And I'll do it again 

I'm thwarted tonight 

Which is fine 

See I've done it before 

And I'll do it again 

The kids are sick again 

Nothing to look forward to 

They jumped the cliff again 

Future sinks beneath the blue 

The kids are sick again 

Nothing to look forward to 

They jumped the cliff again 

Future sinks beneath the blue 

The kids are sick again 

Nothing to look forward to 

They jumped the cliff again 

Future sinks beneath the blue 

The kids are sick again 

Nothing to look forward to ...
