Limassol Lyrics
Thinking clearly never came
As easy as it did for you
Driving this route out of town
I wish you were still around.
And in the dead of night I always
wondered whether you were true
Someone better than myself
An offer you just cant turn down
A morning fight,
And a wasted night,
You crept back to your room.
Run along back to your new man.
Limassol
hold on I couldn't trap you
We're gonna head for
new horizons
Limassol
When its all good you gotta keep things close at hand.
I could never bear to hear you
Struggling against the tide
Promises I couldn't keep
I couldn't admit I was in too deep.
Saw the lights on in your window
Even though they'd said you'd gone
The darker nights have come again
Quicker than the year before
A morning fight,
A wasted night,
You slipped back to your room.
You better run away back to your new man . . .
Limassol
hold on I could never catch you
We're gonna head for
new horizons
Limassol
When its all good keep things close at hand
When its all good you've gotta keep things close at hand
As easy as it did for you
Driving this route out of town
I wish you were still around.
And in the dead of night I always
wondered whether you were true
Someone better than myself
An offer you just cant turn down
A morning fight,
And a wasted night,
You crept back to your room.
hold on I couldn't trap you
We're gonna head for
new horizons
Limassol
Struggling against the tide
Promises I couldn't keep
I couldn't admit I was in too deep.
Saw the lights on in your window
Even though they'd said you'd gone
The darker nights have come again
Quicker than the year before
A morning fight,
A wasted night,
You slipped back to your room.
hold on I could never catch you
We're gonna head for
new horizons
Limassol
When its all good you've gotta keep things close at hand

I love the geordie accent coming out on 'wondered' !
Anyway - I think this song is really good- the title caught my eye as it's a place in Cyprus, but I don't really know why they have chosen it specifically - maybe they've been there and fancy it as their 'new horizon' !
The song sort of seems like a holiday romance gone wrong - I see it as he goes on holiday with his partner, and then she cheats on him/or he finds out she's been cheating...but there's more too it than that.
oh this one is the best: "When its all good keep things close at hand" i mean it's so delicate of thim to think of how delicate de balance is, once you reach it, so to keep it you have to struggle. but once you struggle it's not good anymore, it's not natural. so i could just understand it's never good, except for certain short moments. you can't have happiness, you can't plan it, it can only happen, and when it does, you can just enjoy it, not thinking about how it's going to end.
lovely.
your four-year-old comment has just blown my mind, haha. i appreciate that!

limassooolll!!!
I think it's a holiday fling gone awry, which is why they chose Limassol. Cyprus is famous for being a slightly cheasy holiday destination. Think package holiday. Great fun though...
Ok, I'm digressing.
Is it just me that loves the intro???
Oh, and to quote thr user above......
LIMASSOOOOOOOOOOOOL!
The song which has single-handedly improved Cyprus's tourist industry by 300%...LIMASSOL!!!
Class song, for some reason I love the buzzing intro, just a energetic quirky song to bop to...Geordie-land's churning 'em out at the moment, aren't they?
Thinking clearly never came As easy as it did for you
i love this line.. or lines.. however im not too keen on the song.. its not the best on the album
really love this album, and this song, esp. lyrics "run along back to your new man" with that accent. this song reminds me of "The Riders" by Tim Winton where a guy is waiting for his wife to arrive, she never turns up but has been seen living at a holiday resort in Greece. Not quite the same here, this song is not as dark as the book
i'm a sucker for the accent, and love the venom in his voice when he sings "run along back to your new man". ooh shivery!! I think it's one of the best songs on the album
The best Maximo Park song, Period.
"Saw the lights on in your window, even though they'd said you'd gone"
this is about the part of the song where I am fully into it all...... amazin and adrenaline pumping, Maxïmo Park, you guys kick ass and to quote the third person who commented on this song:
LIMAASSSOOOOOOLLLLL!!!
