Apply Some Pressure

It's about how we invest a lot of ourselves in something, it backfires and we back off, and then we move on ("start all over again"). Pretty much saying, if you invest to much in something good, you forget it can get shitty, and when it does you are forced to back off. By the way, best song on the album, love the video, the band is my new white stripes right now. Oh, white stripes, why''d you fuck up so bad?

I looove this song. Heard them perform it at V festival, where I was with a guy who'd recently broken up with me after 13months of dating, and the words "what happens when you lose everything, you just start again, you start all over again" really helped me feel better! Like I actually could cope and survive. =) xx

I think it's the state of mind after a long term relationship and being scared to get close to someone again (apply some pressure) he still has feelings for this girl (you know that I would like to see ya next year) but he knows that he has to move on and find someone new, even though he's scared to get close to someone in case they hurt him (what happens when you lose every thing? you just start again, start all over again.) he misses what they had and wants to be close to her but knows that he will never have her again (you know that i would love to see you in that dress, i hope that i will live to see you undress) he's confused and doesn't know where to place his feelings (what;s my view, well how am i supposed to know, write to review, well how objective can i be?). he learned so much in the relationship and this girl taught him to come out of his shell and be himself and he doesnt understand why she's given up on him "behind your veil, i found a body underneath, inside your head, things i never thought about). so all in all dylan if you are reading this, you did all of the above to be and i hope you burn in hell with whatever whore you have this week, since you've had like, four in 6 weeks... well i kept you "faithful" (if you dont count all ypur texts to the other girl) almost six months, do i get a medal for putting up with your bull?????? "how'd ya feel? i found a body underneath!"

Does anyone else find the lines 'I testify to having guilty feelings/I must confess, i'd like to get caught stealing' deeply sexy?

Great tune, all hail Maximo Park. Soon to be the next big thing.

It's about pumping up the tyres on your bike, ha ha

LOVE THIS SONG! I agree, Maximo Park are gonna be HUGE! i'd love to know wot this song is about tho?

They say they write stuff about real life, its really confusing tho :( lol but maximo park are klass, the night i lost my head is great aswell. xx

One of the best songs of the year so far. Absolutely brilliant. Will Be big.

this is fantastic. 'you know that i would love to see you next year', ha. i love this song lots. i have this summer job and i have this love/hate relationship with one of the lads who works there and i hate him but i have this strange attraction to him too, but cos this song is quite ironic and not soppy, it's sharp it's just the way i feel about him it's perfect. and the bit where it says: 'id like to see how things turn out if you apply some pressure' it goes for him cos he's such a 'hey, im a charming gorgeous man' type of lad who can get what he wants and i'd just love to see him have to try and do something instead of flirting his way through it.

i can only R.A.V.E. about this new band! i´m so glad to have seen them in concert in february. they´re gonna be huge, really, and they fully deserve it. anybody heard their demo recordings? absolutely outstanding stuff! can´t wait to hear the finished album. MAXIMO PARK make bloc party and any other new british band look like boyscouts and boring old farts. be prepared for their debut album to be "the album of the year" - no fooling! re: APPLY SOME PRESSURE - the guitar riff will become a classic. and those lyrics just HIT me - "You know that i would love to see you next year / i hope that i am still alive next year" - Paul Smith, thank you so much!
