Maximo Park - Questing, Not Coasting Lyrics






Questing,
I am not coasting
Nor will I ever
Despite this weather.

I said...
Hey you!
What's new?
I know your face
Hey you!
What's new?
Let's go some place
My thoughts that flit
My loosening grip
I need to connect to you now

On our knees against the window sill
Watching the sheet lightening fly
Our hands caught spray from the open window
A blanket of light; a whitewashed sky

You move your frame
Into the shape
The window makes
A lunar flame
Static headlights glow
In the flooded streets below
The TV turns to snow
Gutters weep with overflow
I said...
Hey you!
What's new?
I know your face
And I need to connect to you now

On our knees against the window sill
Watching the sheet lightening fly
Our hands caught spray from the open window
A blanket of light; a whitewashed sky

Thanks for coming by
On such a dreadful night
A net curtain flashes
Outside, the rain, it lashes
Frozen stardust falls
Wide eyes can see it all

On our knees against the window sill
Watching the sheet lightening fly
Our hands caught spray from the open window
And we're on our knees against the window sill
Watching the sheet lightening fly
Our hands caught spray from the open window
Thanks for coming by.

  6. c.... ....

    Ahhh I love this song <3

  7. T.... ....

    Heard this song at Solfest recently and loved it! Maximo Park are brilliant live! I loved every minute of their set

  8. r.... ....

    maximo park no how to write meanfull lyrics a future smiths if i dar to say

  9. D.... ....

    Funny and sad at the same time, because Gaga is purely a product, and these guys are musicians...Real musician has a long way up to the fame, non-musician has a quick rise and sometimes fall. Real musicians also have strong fan base, which is a good thing :) So max what we can do is be their committed fans :)

  10. E.... B....

    Until I recently checked the lyrics on-line, I was always convinced Paul sang "washing machines light and fly". Oh dear. :$

  11. d.... ....

    2000 or something is already retro!??!! God, I'm old!! ):

  12. G.... ....

    Maximo Park for LIFE

  13. R.... ....

    Fab, fab video... looks slightly retro, like it was made in 2000 or something...

  14. D.... ....

    I absolutely love Maximo Park with all my heart... best lyrics in the fucking world

  15. C.... M....

    what.a.fucking.song,.

  16. l.... ....

    @simski22 Come on, quicken the heart is, in my opinion their best album yet. How can you not like Roller Disco Dreams, The Kids are Sick Again, or The Penultimate Clinch?

  17. R.... L....

    NORTHERN LADS FOR THE FUCKING WIN :D I love these guys and can't find there albums :( they are so underrated and very few people have actually heard of them but I fell in love with them the very first time I heard this song :) genius <3

  18. l.... ....

    questing..i am not coasting..<3

  19. K.... ....

    At their gig in Melbourne, Paul pointed directly at me (in the front row) and sung the line "hey you, what's new?" as I mouthed the words. Yeah. It was pretty much the best moment ever. Brilliant live band too!

  20. s.... ....

    Anyone else think the singer looks a bit like Nicholas Cage?

  21. Z.... A....

    @WeakestSoldier really i mean i know a guy in england and hes never herd of them wtf

  22. V.... W....

    Amazing :) x

  23. C.... ....

    i listen to this over and over again... i never realized i know a lot of songs by him
    its a shame that noone remembers his name around here..
    hes breathtaking

  24. f.... v....

    Static headlights glow
    In the flooded streets below

  25. f.... v....

    Static headlights glow In the flooded streets below

    f.... v....

    faviola villa gutters weep with overflow

  26. p.... ....

    @kevinleecoxon it depends on where you live. here, in germany the two most important music magazines gave A Certain Trigger 10/10 and 9/10. Our Earthly Pleasures gained 9/10 and 9/10. NME's review of ATC with 7/10 is not more than just ridicolous.

  27. l.... ....

    amazing<33

  28. D.... D....

    the ultimate expression of music?! Definitely.

  29. l.... ....

    ich finde sido aber besser :D

  30. L.... ....

    Yeeahh, you are so right!!!

  31. m.... ....

    Don't care about the vids. This is a great live performing band. Love it.

  32. t.... ....

    Same here with Hungary and in August x]

  33. s.... g....

    Hey you whats new?

  34. L.... ....

    The lyrics makes the band so good anyway. Very emotianal and romantic

    *sorry for my bad english*

  35. K.... L....

    most underrated band of this era... FULLSTOP!

  36. C.... ....

    hey Maximo Park come back in France please !
    I missed you in last June !

  37. G.... ....

    morgen live *.*

  38. I.... ....

    love *-*

  39. s.... ....

    Dear longmatt, I agree...Things will never be the same after new wave.

  40. N.... J....

    this is a bit mellower, showing another side of them. and no band will be completely individual, cos they are infuenced by something!

  41. d.... ....

    love love love maxïmo

  42. w.... s....

    pretty nice song.

  43. J.... H....

    Quality song!

  44. k.... ....

    best band. my one and only!

  45. G.... B....

    Second single, second great song. I'm excited to see them live at Brussels in october where they will present the new album 'Quicken the heart' for the fans in Belgium.

  46. R.... J....

    I'm gonna have to disagree, I personally think "Calm" is the best song off "Quicken The Heart"

    I do love this song though

  47. T.... C....

    fucking amazing! BANDA MAIS FOHDA DO MUNDO!

  48. R.... F....

    Love that song. Reminds me to The Smiths.

  49. S.... Y....

    LEEDS FEST WOOOOO!

  50. m.... ....

    what I meant: Programs like youtube downloader are much moar easier to use.

  51. J.... M....

    yes, buying; the act of acquiring in exchange for money...
    Stop acting like a complete idiot on the internet. And after all stop downloading GOOD music.

  52. J.... M....

    go buy it! totally worth it.

  53. p.... ....

    Amazing,
    one of my favourite songs

  54. B.... ....

  55. P.... G....

  62. T.... D....

  67. D.... B....

    Cool. Shame Warp Records were petty enough to pull me Maximo Park video down. I'm only helping!

  68. p.... ....

    Class as ever! Though you have to release 'The Penultimate Clinch' next! as it is bloody class, the best song on the albumn!! :D

  69. r.... ....

    Whopper tunage right here!!
    =D

  70. M.... L....

    beautiful!

  71. B.... W....

    This is out on my birthday :)
    Second favourite song off their current album, I love it! Calm is my favourite, but the whole album is fantastic. Some bands don't pull it off on their second, let alone third album, but this band definately have. I love them. (L)

  72. L.... ....

    As fantastic as ever, excellant song, excellant video. Hope to see them live in leeds again very soon.

  73. F.... A....

    So Original, very different from their previous video

    (Ironic mode [ON])

    Yet, I love the Park, and love the song!

  74. E.... D....

    Another great album, i agree with others Cloud of Mystery is a cracking track, i also like Calm when it kicks in

  75. S.... ....

    Cool, simple music vid.
    Great song too, altough A Cloud of Mystery is my favourite =). (From your last album)

  76. D.... B....

    Great video for a great song. Favourite song on the album. Looooove it.

  77. B.... Z....

    So, Maxïmo turned officially into Maximo?

  78. t.... ....

    Really love the song (and the album's proven to be a sneaky little grower too!), but the video's completely bland and uninspired.
    Seriously, a projected backdrop that (ooooooh!!), shows some weather when he sings about weather?? A little bit too U2 or Coldplay for my taste, especially as Maximo's early videos kicked so much arse!

    Must do better visually, but the usual excellent standard aurally.

  79. s.... ....

    Gorgeous video, average song.

  80. B.... S....

    Great Video Guys.
    Even though its so similar to the kids are sick again vid, i like it much more.
    But its not as good as Going Missing or Girls who play guitars.
    Questing is one of the best songs on QTH, but i hope Calm will be the next Single!!!

  81. h.... ....

    OMG I love it. I've listened to it like 5 times in a row!

  82. M.... ....

    Beautiful video, it really suits the intimacy of the song. I really like the way the vocals sit in the mix: it helps that Paul sang "Hey you, what's new?" to me at Rock City! QTH has been such a grower, I change my favourite track every day. Look forward to the next live show.

  83. T.... H....

    It is a really good video. But the Maximo Park videos was better before, look at Apply some pressure - that video is awsome.

    I was hoping for the song Cloud of Mistery or Let's get Clinical, but hey I love all the songs on QTH.

  84. m.... ....

    Just beautiful, a song that already means alot of memories to me. Fantastic choice, beautiful video.

  85. T.... H....

    Amazing!

  86. l.... ....

    I love this song! one of my favourites from Quicken the Heart. It's so powerful and I feel the video adds to this without being cheesily dramatic. Can't stop singing that beautiful chorus!
    "On our knees..." :D

  87. r.... ....

    technically a perfect video....
    maybe a bit to perfect

    Whatever - questing is a wonderful song!

  88. R.... ....

    why do all thier new videos suck?

  89. C.... C....

    I love this song
    And this video!

  90. f.... c....

    great song, great album !!!

    go maximo !!!

    go newcastle brown ale !!!

  91. C.... 1....

    I love this song, the video is fantastic....
    I ♥ MAXIMO PARK !!!
