Sandblasted and Set Free lyrics
by Maxïmo Park
The overlap
The dyed glass
The centrepiece
Sewn-up
Solarised
A dividing line
Like a cog
Standing still
Follow me down this rope ladder
Our bodies becoming shapes on the sails
It’s a leap of faith towards a crash landing
Thin ice softly splinters
Sandblasted and set free
A trial run on paper
The earth is solid, you can dig it up
Or you can pave it over
Balconies
Like diving boards
Naked heels
Cotton reels
A poster
A placard
Perspex
Creates a spectrum
Follow me down this rope ladder
Our bodies becoming shapes on the sails
It’s a leap of faith; it’s a crash landing
Thin ice softly splinters
Sandblasted and set free
A trial run on paper
The earth is solid, you can dig it up
Or you can pave it over
Sandblasted and set free
I fell in love with flirtation
We’re moving targets, you can set us up
The brevity of sensation
