Maitland Street Lyrics
I hear the sirens - oh no
Coming to remind me - to go
Silence is golden - I know
Until the silence - is known
And the plans were carried on
We were the victims all along
Is it true did the world stop turning
When the rain came down
When the rain came down on
Maitland Street
Would we drown in the sorrow
Of another defeat?
Will we be remembered if we
Don't get beat?
Got your head in the clouds
Your feet on the ground
Will we be remembered?
Will we be remembered?
Or lost in history
Of Maitland Street
Looking for an echo
Searchin' for somewhere to go
We found a place that we called home
But it was empty yeah
Yeah there was nobody there
And the clouds began to break
We tried to run but it was too late
Now it's done and you gotta move on
'Cause it's never gonna be the same
When the rain came down on
Maitland Street
Would we drown in the sorrow
Of another defeat?
Will we be remembered if we
Don't get beat?
Got your head in the clouds
Your feet on the ground
Will we be remembered?
Will we be remembered?
Or lost in history
Of Maitland Street
Doesn't anybody know?
What happened all those years ago?
Doesn't anybody know?
Is it true did the world stop turning
When the rain came down
When the rain came down on
Maitland Street
Would we drown in the sorrow
Of another defeat?
Will we be remembered if we
Don't get beat?
Got your head in the clouds
Your feet on the ground
Will we be remembered?
Will we be remembered?
Or lost in history
Of Maitland Street
Coming to remind me - to go
Silence is golden - I know
Until the silence - is known
We were the victims all along
Is it true did the world stop turning
When the rain came down
Maitland Street
Would we drown in the sorrow
Of another defeat?
Will we be remembered if we
Don't get beat?
Got your head in the clouds
Your feet on the ground
Will we be remembered?
Will we be remembered?
Or lost in history
Of Maitland Street
Searchin' for somewhere to go
We found a place that we called home
But it was empty yeah
Yeah there was nobody there
We tried to run but it was too late
Now it's done and you gotta move on
'Cause it's never gonna be the same
Maitland Street
Would we drown in the sorrow
Of another defeat?
Will we be remembered if we
Don't get beat?
Got your head in the clouds
Your feet on the ground
Will we be remembered?
Will we be remembered?
Or lost in history
Of Maitland Street
What happened all those years ago?
Doesn't anybody know?
Is it true did the world stop turning
When the rain came down
Maitland Street
Would we drown in the sorrow

Will we be remembered if we
Don't get beat?
Got your head in the clouds
Your feet on the ground
Will we be remembered?
Will we be remembered?
Or lost in history

Awesome Song
Agreed
Another great song hidden on a living end Album. There are tons! Great Band Great Song!
So is Maitland Street an actual location and did something happent here? I dont follow east coast local politics.
wait, don't quote me on that. i could be wrong.
nonetheless, this song is about the september 11 attacks so i assume the world trade center was on maitland street.
Wrong!! The song's not about 9/11, I'm pretty sure its about a fire in Canada that happened on Maitland Street.
It's totally about 9/11, although like most songs, it incorporates and touches on other events that also fit into the metaphor. Chris said himself "My take on 9/11, for what it's worth." The WTC was not on "Maitland Street", so it's either a fictional location, or a street he came upon (I imagine in Oz, I live in NY, so) and liked the name enough to use it.
the twin towers were on maitland street. ;)
