George Brown Lyrics & Chords By Maxïmo Park

A tale of 2 acts
One in 1948
One in 62
There’s no justice in trade and industry
Full of promise in integration
Dissolves
Precipitates resentment
When the books that carry
Were built by decorated arms
In rain sodden yards
Then the gulf appears wider
Two islands colliding
When the books that carry
Were built by decorated arms
In rain sodden yards
The past gets coloured in
I find it frightening
When the books that carry
Were built by decorated arms
In rain sodden yards
A house of cards
