Maximo Park - Our Velocity Lyrics






I'm not a man
I'm a machine
Chisel me down until I am clean
I buy books I never read
And then I tell you some more about me!

Beneath the concrete there's a sound
A muffled cry below the ground
There is a poison in the air
A mix of chemicals and fear
My words are just hunches
I'm not sure what they mean
You're asking for commitment when I'm somewhere in between

Never, never try to gauge temperature when you tend to travel at such speed
It's our velocity
Is it cold where you are this time of year?
You didn't leave a scar

A stream of numbers hit a screen and you're expected to know what they mean
Throughout the conflict I was serene
I can't outrun the sadness I've seen
Are you willing to resist for people you've never met?
The devil's wheel revolves but it needs to be reset

Never, never try to gauge temperature when you tend to travel at such speed
It's our velocity
Please tell me, is it cold where you are this time of year?
You didn't leave a scar

I've got no-one to call in the middle of the night anymore
I'm just alone with these thoughts
I've got no-one to call in the middle of the night anymore
I'm just alone with my thoughts

I watched a film to change my feelings
I'm strong enough to bear a burden
If everyone became this sensitive, I wouldn't have to be so sensitive
If everyone became so sensitive, perhaps I wouldn't be so sensitive

Love is a lie
Which means I've been lied to
Love is a lie
Which means I've been lying too
Love is a lie
Which means I've been lied to
Love is a lie

I've got no-one to call in the middle of the night anymore
I'm just alone with these thoughts
I've got no-one to call in the middle of the night anymore
I'm just alone with my thoughts

Never, never try to gauge temperature when you tend to travel at such speed
It's our velocity

    I'm not a man, I'm a machine 
    Chisel me down until I am clean 
    I buy books I never read 
    And then I'll tell you some more about me

    Beneath the concrete there's a sound 
    A muffled cry below the ground 
    There is a poison in the air 
    A mix of chemicals and fear

    manners are just hunches
    I'm not sure what they mean 
    You're asking for commitment 
    When I'm somewhere inbetween

    Never never try to gauge temperature 
    When you tend to travel at such speed 
    It's our velocity 
    Is it cold where you are this time of the year?
    You didn't leave a scar

    A stream of numbers hit a screen 
    And you're expected to know what they mean 
    Throughout the conflict, I was serene 
    I can't outrun the sadness I've seen

    Are you willing to resist 
    The people you've never met?
    The devil's wheel revolves 
    But it needs to be reset

    Never never try to gauge temperature 
    When you tend to travel at such speed

    It's our velocity 
    Please tell me is it cold where you are this time of the year?
    You didn't leave a scar

    I've got no-one to call in the middle of the night anymore 
    I'm just alone with these thoughts

    I've got no-one to call in the middle of the night anymore 
    I'm just alone with my thoughts

    I watched a film to change my feelings 
    Strong enough to bear a burden 
    If everyone became this sensitive 
    I wouldn't have to be so sensitive

    If everyone became so sensitive 
    Perhaps I wouldn't be so sensitive

    Love is a lie, which means I've been lied to 
    Love is a lie, which means I've been lying too 
    Love is a lie, which means I've been lied to 
    Love is a lie

    I've got no-one to call in the middle of the night anymore 
    I'm just alone with these thoughts

    I've got no-one to call in the middle of the night anymore 
    I'm just alone with my thoughts

    Never never try to guage temperature 
    When you tend to travel at such speed 
    It's our velocity

    ama sesleri çok benziyor.

    S.... A....

    Benim için maxïmo park çok özel ben hiç bir grup veya sanatçıyla kıyaslamak istemiyorum...Evet maxïmo park'ta popüler olsaydı belki onlarda kendi çizgisinden çıkardı:)))
