Maximo Park - Karaoke Plays Lyrics
You write a list of things to do
To occupy the time that you could use
But, in my mind its never final
And when you sleep, I try not to wake you as I leave…
I waited up for you. Couldn't you come back home?
Someone gets run down
Karaoke plays
Somewhere in the background,
But there is no explanation.
What makes a grown man cry?
Karaoke plays and someone gets run down
We never did want the dawn to break
You know I've changed my ways forever
The North Sea crashes through your dreams as I leave…
Oh, I waited up for you, but you didn't come back home
I waited up for you. Couldn't you come back home?
Someone gets run down
Karaoke plays
Somewhere in the background,
But there is no explanation.
What makes a grown man cry?
Karaoke plays and someone gets run down
I came home there were radio waves
I heard voices through the radio waves
I came home there was nowhere to be found.
The lights were on, the radio played.
I came home, there were radio waves
A children's choir through the radio waves
Every night we've got so much to say
I wanna hear all the things you did today
If someone gets run down
Karaoke plays
Somewhere in the background
But there is an explanation
What makes a grown man cry?
Karaoke plays and someone gets run down

2019 who is here I enqeath?
This is Immense!
Paul Smith is such a wordsmith. Brilliant lyrics
I've always loved this song but the amount of sadness it gives me is overwhelming
9 years later! Still listening...
GUYS! I NEED more songs like this one! Please, I NEEEED! My life wont be complete until then so please help me out!
Whole discography of The Hoosiers + only one album (The Dreamer Evasive by Apartment) + whole discography of The Automatic
Real MVP
Boy Kill Boy - Civilian. Bands came out around about the same time I think. It is a very good album!
Best maximo song? Quite possibly
doesn't quite beet books from boxes for me
OEP best album ever
NEED MORE RECOGNITION!
Had this on every phone I have had since it was released, Maximo Park are a forgotten gem!
maximo park should be WAY more famous. Their songs are more addictive than chocalate. XD
This band is very underrated and I'm sorry for it. The Park deserves to be played on the radio, worldwide, and more oftenly.
@BoobieMcBoob its about how you have no friends and never get invited to parties.
What the hell is the point of this video....
Love the song, of course, but, really guys. Lol.
What an irritatingly pointless and irreflective video, thankfully the song's way better than it.
his voice is pure bliss, they have a song for every mood! ah, love them!
@Blobsterisation My grammar isn't the greatest as you can probably see.
@Tackington 'Echos'? why the capital e?
I dont get the video but quality song :)
Why is the first video in the reccomendations the Gummy Bear song..?
i love his voice
@munichlife ... i was living in Berwick and getting over a girl.. Certain Trigger shook me down, woke me up and was my soundtrack for weirdest year of my life.. There's a song on that album for every period of that year. The second has crept up on me in bite sized chunks.. Still yet to attack the 3rd properly. All belters.
Maximo park is a band that just Echoes experience...
It's hard to explain , Thank you Maximo park , for another great song
;,)
"The North sea crashes through your dreams... as I leave!" Maximo Park are a terribly underrated band, who can change the tone to suit anything. I worked that out the moment I put "Our Earthly Pleasures" in to the CDPlayer. Indie Rock owns Romance!
good song :)
good song ;)
Unbelievably good band, really underestimated and underrated. Love it!
whaaaata greaaaaaat song !
Wow man, goosebumps <33 love this song
Ampphed me too
wow such a great song...love it so much =)
Oh, I waited up for you
But you didn't come back home
Oh, I waited up for you
Couldn't you come back home?
Thanks, this is great, class pride
hi shneee
thot u would be visitin here sooon
I agree, but i just listened to nothing but that album all day aha, its pretty good. Our Earthly Pleasures will always been my favourite, though.
tuunnnnee
what d u mean intelligent lyrics = hunting for witches/bloc party?
full of wonder
I like Dashboard - but I know I've heard more intelligent lyrics.
They're good 'young love and torture' poets, but not the best. As for songs on the album, you've gotta have heard the UK bonus track, No.12 - End Of An Anchor. If not, do it.
Our Earthly Pleasures & A Certain Trigger... love them. Quicken the Heart's taking longer
i bet YOU secretly like the Jonas Brothers
Alright so I misread.
Put you pannies back on and chill the fuck down.
Seriously how long did you cry for before posting all that shit.
I still think you look emo as fuck.
And Dashboard is just as gay as look.
as for Dashboard Confessional, their lyrics ARE clearly intelligent and overlooked. look, GUY, u don't have to be a pussy or be totally "EMO" to realize that. you should just be at least somewhat bright as the lyricist/vocalist is for that group and give these artists a chance. go on, read and pay ATTENTION to their lyrics and a lot of their songs ARE actually quite good. but obviously, i'm dealing with a common idiot who's just too one dimensional about music and lyrics, it's painful to debate.
no, no, dumb shit. i said Interpol's LYRICS don't make much sense at all. Paul Banks even said his lyrics are based on free association, meaning he literally writes just whatever is at the top of his head at the exact moment. don't put words in my mouth, if i thought Interpol sucked, i wouldn't have seen them in concert like 4 times and gotten lucky enough to meet them TWICE.
wow wtf are you talking about. Seriously Dashboard Confessional for "intelligent" lyrics....
And you think Interpol sucks??
Talk about horrible taste for music.
see lyrics for Hands Down by dashboard confessional :)
wow those are pretty good seriously. but i still think the band Dashboard Confessional have 'the' most dreamy and intelligent lyrics about love and hope :p (see A Mark. A Mission. A Brand. A Scar album lyrics) ahem"So much for all the promises u made, they served u well and now theyr gone and your wasted on me, So much for your endearing sense of charm, they served u well and now its gone and your wasted on me!" Morrissey is good too(duh) i'm sure u know him. the band Interpol is the worst! yuk!
most intelligent lyrics ever u say? ok, i'll hold u to that. i'm always looking for good lyrics.
best song on the album
UH! how good are Maximo Park!! fricking love them. They better be touring soon!!
what a tune love it?!?
