Maximo Park - George Brown lyrics

A tale of 2 acts One in 1948 One in 62 There's no justice in trade and industry Full of promise in integration Dissolves Precipitates resentment When the books that carry Were built by decorated arms In rain sodden yards Then the gulf appears wider Two islands colliding When the books that carry Were built by decorated arms In rain sodden yards The past gets coloured in I find it frightening When the books that carry Were built by decorated arms In rain sodden yards A house of cards
