The Living End - 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?

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
Ahh 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, of Maitland Street

Ahh Maitland Street
Ahh Maitland Street
Ahh Maitland Street
Ahh Maitland Street
