leave this island

• maximo park'ın 5. stüdyo albümü too much information'ın ilk single'ı. grower. belki de ilk dinleyişte aşk da olabilir. baya güzel şarkı. paul smith, biz duygusal grubuz, gerçi bu too much information zaten diyor. gidecek kişiye kapının önündeki çanta neyin nesi, ya da bu haritayı niye bu kadar önemsiyorsun demek hikayesi. paul smith'in dediği gibi it's not a peak, it's a plateau...
  
  have you ever been compelled
  under a spell
  from a protagonist who knows you far too well
  have you ever been undone
  by a slip of the tongue
  and betrayed a side of you that felt hard won
  so we watch the water swell
  from a scottish hotel
  have you ever fell
  have you ever fell
  
  are you gonna tell me why
  there's a backpack by the bedroom window
  it's a pack of lies
  everything has to reach a peak sometime
  tell me why
  there's a map lain flat on the bedside table
  it's a pack of lies
  it's not a peak, it's a plateau
  let me know
  when you wanna leave this island
  let me know
  when you wanna hear my point of view
  
  in the observation lounge
  couples ready to pounce
  but there's a reticence from treading icy ground
  so we watch the water swell
  from a scottish hotel
  have you ever fell
  have you ever fell
  
  are you gonna tell me why
  there's a backpack by the bedroom window
  it's a pack of lies
  everything has to reach a peak sometime
  tell me why
  there's a map lain flat on the bedside table
  it's a pack of lies
  it's not a peak, it's a plateau
  let me know
  when you wanna leave this island
  let me know
  when you wanna hear my point of view
  let me know
  when you wanna leave this island
  let me know
  when you wanna hear my point of view
  
  i'll stand up for you
  i'll stand up for you
  i'll stand up for you
  
  i will act as a semaphore
  i will guide you to a perfect landing
  i will act as a distant shore
  i will aim to be the last man standing for you
  i will act as a semaphore
  i will guide you to a perfect landing
  
  i'll stand up for you
  i'll stand up for you
  when you wanna leave this island
  when you wanna hear my point of view
