You said you'd like to see me again
And then, it all unravelled
I heard that you were seeing someone
Not such an insignificant other
It seems my moves were far too swift
In life, some things are worth the effort
I touched the place where your hair had been
I pulled on the shirt that you left round mine
Defacing pictures of famous people on the train
Standing by the monument just waiting for the rain
In my wallet with your photobooth smile
And I, wearing my waterproof jacket
Posterity has hold of us now
Am I just waiting for the next chapter
We'll sleep tonight in seperate towns
At dusk, we see our disparate futures
I tore a sock to bind up your golden hair
We found a hotel bar to sustain our last night in vain
Defacing pictures of famous people on the train
Standing by the monument just waiting for the rain
I'm just passing my time with you on my mind
I'm just passing my time
No more late night calls
Where tear drops fall
No more late night calls
Where tear drops fall
Tear drops fall
Standing by the monument just waiting for the rain
I'm just passing my time with you on my mind
I'm just wasting my precious time

Review about By The Monument yay | Reviewer: kiah | 3/3/2008
i love this song the most, 'cause i'm from newcastle, [so are maximo park].
i go to town every weekend, and we allways meet by the monument, it's a massive statue of earl grey.
i saw them last december at the newcastle arena, it was just amazing :)
i have been a maximo park fan for about 2 years and saw them recently in berlin.this has to be one of the best songs for content by maximo park.every lyric joins one another and they have so much meaning and quality to them.maximo park are the best band around to date and long may the intelligent lyrics continue to stand out from the crowd!!!!!
