Maximo Park Now I'm All Over the Shop lyrics

If you're gonna talk about the things I need
Then you're gonna have to find out what they are
You remind me of a time when I was boring
I recall a time when you could slip your noose

I wash my hands of you my feet wont hit the ground
I often ask of myself when am I gonna learn
I know you'll be content in the right line of employment

I never held you, you never hold me
It's happening all over again
I try and tempt you, you say I'm deluded
When will this foolishness cease

Every time I see you I start choking
I prefer to keep my eyes wide open
Ballerina poses get you nowhere
Patience is a virtue when you're near me

I wash my hands of you my feet wont hit the ground
I often ask of myself when am I gonna learn
I know you'll be content in the right line of employment

I never held you, you never hold me
It's happening all over again
I try and tempt you, you say I'm deluded

When will this foolishness cease

I know that you'll be content in the right line of employment
I know you'll be fine, you'll be fine
(In the right line)
You'll be fine, you'll be fine
(In the right line)
I know you'll be fine now that you're not mine

I never held you, you never hold me
It's happening all over again
I try to tempt you, you say I'm deluded
When will this foolishness cease

I attempted to snare you with old fashioned manners
But patience was never my thing
I said you were special, you know that I meant it
Now I'm all over the shop

If you carry on like that you'll never make it
If you carry on like me you'll never make it
You'll never make it
