Roller Disco Dreams - Maxïmo Park

We shared a bed but never touched

Next time we compensated in a rush

We’re showing no signs of fatigue

I’ve Got a friend to act as a go-between

There’s a distant drawl to your delivery

You deliver me

And when I’m dry you resuscitate me

You resuscitate me

This bed’s too tight

Stepped upon your records in the night

Put on your favourite skirt

've got a plan that will never work

This isn’t the first time but it still feels innocent

I just want to kiss you

There won’t be a time when my mind strays to you

No, I’m not going to miss you

Under fireworks in Brixton

Two carousel hearts spinning

If it’s a grower

Why can’t we take things slower?

She dreams of the roller disco

A head full of curls on the pillow

If it’s a grower

Then why can’t we take things slower?

I don’t know if you made it

But you accommodated me

When my mind was elsewhere

Out on deck the dawn arrived

In your grey sweater, oversized

The rooftops glimmered for our eyes…

Under fireworks in Brixton

Two carousel hearts spinning

If it’s a grower

Why can’t we take things slower?

She dreams of the roller disco

A head full of curls on the pillow

If it’s a grower

Then why can’t we take things slower?

We were straying

At the lock-in, after hours

If it’s a grower

Why can’t we take things slower?
