Maximo Park - 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,
Its happening all over again,
I try and tempt you, you say I'm deluded,
When will this foolishness cease

Everytime 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,
Its 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,
Its happening all over again,
I try to tempt you, You say im 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 im all over the shop

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