Maxïmo 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 won't 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

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 won't 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 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
