Franz Ferdinand - Bullet

While I'm away, you can

Let the mouse go down on you

Let the mouse do what I'd do

If I was there, but you'd better explain

That I have a vendetta in my narrow bones

I have a vindictive eye

Of my jealousy, I have no control (No control)

I'll never get your bullet out of my head now, baby

I'll never get your bullet out of my mind

I'll never get your bullet out of my head now, baby

I'll never get your bullet out of my mind

How can I get your bullet out of my head now?

I have no control, but I try

Yeah, I try

I'd better explain

That I have a red vendetta in my narrow bones

And a wicked indicative eye

Of my yellow jealousy, I have no control (No control)

No control

I'll never get your bullet out of my head now, baby

I'll never get your bullet out of my mind

Ah, get out of my mind

Franz Ferdinand - Eleanor Put Your Boots On

Eleanor put those boots back on,

Kick the heels into the Brooklyn dirt,

I know it isn't dignified to run,

But if you run,

You can run to the Coney Island roller coaster,

Ride to the highest point and leap across the filthy water,

Leap until the Gulf Stream's brought you down.

I could be there when you land

I could be there when you land

So Eleanor take a Green Point three point,

Turn towards the hidden sun,

You know you look so elegant when you run,

If you run, you can run,

To that statue with the dictionary,

Climb to her fingernail and leap, yeah,

Take an atmospheric leap,

Leap and let the jet stream set you down.

Could be there when you land,

I could be there when you land,

Could be there when you land.

So Eleanor put those boots back on,

Put the boots back on and run, run,

Come on over here, come on over here,

Come on over here...

Franz Ferdinand - Come On Home

Although my lover lives in a place that I can't live

I kind of find I like a life this lonely

It rips and pierces me, in places I can't see

I love the rip of nerves

The rip that wakes me

So I'm dissatisfied, I love dissatisfied

I love to feel there's always more that I need

So Come On Home

So Come On Home

So Come On Home

Home!

You're where you want to be,

I'm where I want to be

Come on

We're chasing everything we've ever wanted

I replace you easily, replace pathetically

I flirt with any flighty thing that falls my way

But how I needed you

When I needed you.

Lets not forget we are so strong, so bloody strong

So come on home

So come on home

So come on home

Home!

Blue light falls upon your perfect skin

Falls and you draw back again

Falls and this is how I fell

And I cannot forget

And I cannot forget

Come on home

So come on home

So come on home

But don't forget to leave

Franz Ferdinand - Huck and Jim

Sitting by the window, she's
Sitting by the door, her
Nose upon the window is cold
The nails upon the window breaking
Nails upon the door
Looking through the window no more

No, no more
No more

Some fun, look dumb
Put a stone in the musical window
She don't buy high time
Disco won't you leave me alone
Down, she won't go
She can't fit through a typical door
No way-oh (no way-oh)
No way-oh (no way-oh)
No way-oh (no way-oh)
No way

We're going to America
We're gonna tell them about the NHS
When we get there we will all hang out
Sipping 40's with Huck and Jim

Everywhere sham Bohemians
Hello magazine bohemians
Terminal chancers who loathe
The privileged who loathe their privilege
The skin upon the custard is hard
Yes it's hard

Flat scum, you got some
Hanging from a toe from a 10th-floor window
Pass out, no bar
There's no theoretical look down
There is no down
Something's gone and you're missing it now
No way-oh (no way-oh)
No way-oh (no way-oh)
No way-oh (no way-oh)
No way

We're going to America
We're gonna tell them about the DSS

Sipping 40's with Huck and Jim

We're going to America yeah
We're gonna tell them about the NHS

Sipping buckie with the boys

Franz Ferdinand - Live Alone

I want to live alone
Because the greatest love
Is always ruined by the bickering
The argument of living
So I want to live alone
I could be happy on my own

Live the rest of my life
With the vaguest of feeling

Wherever you are
Whoever is there
You know that I'll be here
Wishing I could be there

So I'm going to live alone
I'm not saying that out love is the greatest
But I'm in love with you
Want to stay in love with you
So I'm going to live alone
Yeah I'll be happy on my own

Live the rest of my life
With the vaguest of feeling

Wherever you are
Whoever is there
You know that I'll be here
Wishing I could be there

In NYC when
I get in a taxi
I say "man" to the driver so
He'll think
"Man!
I can imagine
Having a drink with that guy"
"He's alright"

Wherever you are
Whoever is there
You know that I'll be here
Wishing I could be there

Franz Ferdinand - Walk Away

I swapped my innocence for pride
Crushed the end within my stride
Said 'I'm strong now I know that I'm a leaver
I love the sound of you walking away
Mascara bleeds a blackened tear, oh
And I am cold
Yes I'm cold
But not as cold as you are
I love the sound of you walking away
You walking away
I love the sound of you walking away
Walking away

Why don’t you walk away?
Why don’t you walk away?
Why don't you walk away?

No buildings will fall down
Don't you walk away
No quake will split the ground
Won't you walk away
The sun won't swallow the sky
Won't you walk away
Statues will not cry
Don't you walk away
Why don’t you walk away?
Why don’t you walk away?
Why don’t you walk away?

I cannot stand to see those eyes
As apologies may rise
I must be strong, stay an unbeliever
And love the sound of you walking away
You walking away
Mascara bleeds into my eye, oh
And I’m not cold
I am old
At least
As old as you are

La-la-la...

And as you walk away
Oh as you walk away
And as you walk away

My headstone crumbles down
As you walk away
The Hollywood wind’s a howl
As you walk away
The Kremlin’s falling
As you walk away
Radio Four is static
As you walk away
Oh as you walk away
Oh as you walk away

The stab of stiletto
On a silent night
Stalin smiles
Hitler laughs
Churchill claps
Mao Tse-Tung
On the back

Franz Ferdinand - Auf Achse

You see her, you can't touch her
You hear her, you can't hold her
You want her, you can't have her
You want to, but she won't let you
You see her, you can't touch her
You hear her, you can't hold her
You want her, you can't have her
You want to, but she won't let you

She's not so special so look what you've done, boy
She's not so special so look what you've done, boy

She's not so special so look what you've done, boy
She's not so special so look what you've done, boy
She's not so special so look what you've done, boy

Now I'm nailed above you gushing from my side
It's with your sings that you've killed me, thinking of your sins I die
Thinking how you'd let them touch you, how you'd never realise
That I'm ripped and hang forsaken knowing never will I rise
Again

You see her
You hear her
You want her
You want to
You see her
You hear her
You want her
You want to
You see her
You hear her
You want her
You want to
You see her

You want her
But you can't have her
She won't let you
You can't have her
You can't touch her
She won't let you

Franz Ferdinand - Lazy Boy

I'm a lazy boy

Never getting up in time, I enjoy
Being a lazy boy
Lying in your bed
Thinking of how
A lazy boy loves you

Am I gonna get up?
Am I gonna get up, get up?
Never!

Am I gonna get up?
Am I gonna get up, get up?
Never!

Am I gonna get up?

Franz Ferdinand - Katherine Kiss Me

Katherine, kiss me
Slippy little lips will split me
Split me where your eye won’t hit me
Yes, I love you—
I mean I, I'd love to get to know you

Sometimes I say the stupid things I think—
I mean I, sometimes I think the stupidest things
Oh and do you ever wonder
How the boy feels?

Katherine, kiss me
Flick your cigarette, then kiss me
Flick your eyes at mine so briefly
Your leather jacket lies in sticky pools of cider, blackberry
You glance a ricochet from every alpha male behind me
Eyes like marbles on a washing machine
Oh and do you ever wonder
How the boy feels?

Katherine, kiss me
In the alleyway by jakeys
Jacking in the sodium light
Yes, I love you—
I mean I, I mean I need to love

And though your opened eyes stay bored upon the overflowing pipes above me
Tonight, I don’t mind
Because I never wonder
How the girl feels

Franz Ferdinand - The Fallen

Some say you're trouble, boy
Just because you like to destroy
All the things that bring the idiots joy
Well, what's wrong with a little destruction?

And the Kunst won't talk to you
Because you kissed St Rollox Adieu
Because you robbed a supermarket or two
Well, who gives a damn about the prophets of Tesco?

Did I see you in a limousine
Flinging out the fish and the unleavened
Turn the rich into wine
Walk on the mean
For the fallen are the virtuous among us
Walk among us
Never judge us
Yeah we're all...

Up now and get 'em, boy
Up now and get 'em, boy
Drink to the devil and death at the doctors

Did I see you in a limousine
Flinging out the fish and the unleavened
Five thousand users fed today
As you feed us
Won't you lead us
To be blessed

So we stole and drank Champagne
On the seventh seal you said you never feel pain
"I never feel pain, won't you hit me again?"
"I need a bit of black and blue to be a rotation"

In my blood I feel the bubbles burst
There was a flash of fist, an eyebrow burst
You've a lazy laugh and a red white shirt
I fell to the floor fainting at the sight of blood

Did I see you in a limousine
Flinging out the fish and the unleavened
Turn the rich into wine
Walk on the mean
Be they Magdalene or virgin you've already been
You've already been and we've already seen
That the fallen are the virtuous among us
Walk among us
Never judge us to be blessed

So I'm sorry if I ever resisted
I never had a doubt you ever existed
I only have a problem when people insist on
Taking their hate and placing it on your name

Some say you're trouble, boy
Just because you like to destroy
You are the word, the word is 'destroy'
I break this bottle and think of you fondly
Did I see you in a limousine
Flinging out the fish and the unleavened
To the whore in a hostel
Or the scum of a scheme
Turn the rich into wine
Walk on the mean
It's not a jag in the arm
It's a nail in the beam
On this barren Earth
You scatter your seed
Be they Magdalene or virgin
You've already been
Yeah, you've already been
We've already seen
That the fallen are the virtuous among us
Walk among us
If you judge us
We're all damned

Franz Ferdinand - Slow Don't Kill Me Slow

Slow, don't take it slow
When you put on that hands
That black velvet cap
Well this is that
Long due occasion
You can wear it as
Don't send this invite back

Slow, don't kill me slow
Don't kill me slow
No, never never
No, don't kill me slow
No, never never
Kill me quick
Kill me quicker
If you can
I cannot take it slow
Don't kill me slow

When you showed your executioner's cap to me
You put it on for me
Said that I would see
You'd kill whatever
Sapped your love for me
So put it on for me
Put it on again oh

Slow, don't kill me slow
No, never never
No, don't kill me slow
No, never never
Kill me quick
Kill me quicker
If you can
I cannot take it slow
Don't kill me

Don't go back to high-res timelapses
And shift or pass me
Be leaves then snow into still life ripens
Stop motion, perishing
Feast of larvae explode
Blue dust shadow of mould

Franz Ferdinand - Twilight Omens

I wrote your name upon the back of my hands
Slept upon it and I woke up with it
Backwards on my face
Reading forwards to my mirror
To my heart

Twilight omens in my life
Then I hear your name
Hear the way you sing your name, baby
Should I give you a call
And I say:
Baby, you still feel the same.

I typed your number into my calculator
Where it's spelled as your word
When you turn it upside down
You can turn my dirty world
The bright way round

Twilight omens in my life
Then I hear your name
Hear the way you sing your name
Should give you a call
And I say:
Oh, maybe I still feel the same.
Twilight omens in my life
Keep hearing your name
Keep hearing your name
Keep hearing your name
Keep hearing you sing your name

Franz Ferdinand - This Boy

It seems this boy bathed in ridicule
Too forward, way too physical
It's time that I had another
I'm always wanting more, if there's another one
Give me some more, I'll have another one
I'll have a slice of your mother

This boy's so spectacular
Not a boy, but a wealthy bachelor
I want a car
I want a car (yeah)
I want a car
I want a car (yeah)

I see losers losing everywhere
If I lose I'll only lose the care
that I might have for another
I am complete, invincible
If I have one principle
Then it's to stand at you, brother

This boy's so spectacular
Not a boy, but a wealthy bachelor
I want a car
I want a car (yeah)
I want a car
I want a car (yeah)

I wanna...

I want a car,
I want a car (yeah)
I want a car
I want a car (yeah)

If I like cocaine, I'm racing you
For organic fresh Echinacea
One kick's as good as another
If I'm tired, I'm tired of telling you
I'm never tired, I'm always better than you
Bye boy, run to your mother

This boy's so spectacular
Not a boy, but a wealthy bachelor
Oh Yes I am spectacular
Not a boy, but a wealthy bachelor
I want a car
I want a car (yeah)
I want a car
I want a car (aha)
I want a car
I want a car (yeah)
I want, I want, I want, I want, I want, I want, I want, I want.

Franz Ferdinand - The Universe Expanded

I’ll give you each love letter back
We’ll laugh before every joke is told
We’ll pose after every photograph
Has been removed from the negative

With every smile we lose a line
Watch the stars fall back into the sky
Cork the wine
Unbake a cake
Take the dog back to the RSPCA

But I don’t mind losing you this time

I’ll meet you coming backwards
I’ll meet you coming back
When the universe has expanded
Time will contract
You’ll come back
I’ll meet you coming backwards
Next time

We make-up start an argument
Tears crawl back into your…
I turn from a friend
Of your friend
Unintroduced
Forget your name forevermore

But I don’t mind losing you this time

I’ll meet you coming backwards…
Yes I’ll meet you coming back
But we move forwards
Into emptiness
Into the void
Into the universe

We'll part as happy strangers
From a long friendship
That grew from such a love
From such a love
From such a love
Such a love
From such a

Franz Ferdinand - Right Action

Come home practically all is nearly forgiven
Right thoughts, right words, right action
Almost everything could be forgotten
Right thoughts, right words, right action

But how can we leave you
To a Saturday night or a Sunday morning
Good morning

Sometimes I wish you were here, weather permitting
Right thoughts, right words, right action
This time, same as before, I'll love you forever
Right thoughts, right words, right action

But how can we leave you
To a Saturday night or a Sunday morning
Good morning

11 South Court Gardens
England’s Lane past end to London

Sometimes I wish you were here, weather permitting
Right thoughts, right words, right action
Right thoughts, right words, right action
Right thoughts, right words, right action
Right thoughts, right words, right action...

Franz Ferdinand - Goodbye Lovers and Friends

Don’t play pop music
You know I hate pop music
Just sing amazing godless grace

Don’t wear bright colours
You know I hate bright colours
I never liked you for the way you dressed
Anyway

Goodbye lovers and friends
So sad to leave you
When they lie and say
"This is not the end"
you can laugh as if
we’re still together
you can laugh about it all

I hope you didn’t bring flowers
Hope you didn’t write a poem
Hope you remember every fight

I know I could be noxious
Or occasionally cruel
But only to the ones
I loved

Goodbye lovers and friends…

Don’t get inventory
Don’t fake your memory
Don’t give me virtues that I never had
Don’t get sychophantal
We never were sentimental
I know I took more than I ever gave

I don’t need to be forgiven
But a moment from the living
That’s the only thing I ask

Goodbye lovers and friends…
…you can laugh as if
we’re still together
but this really is the end

Franz Ferdinand - Darts of Pleasure

You are the latest contender
You are the one to remember
You are the villain who sends her
Light or dark, fantastic passion
I know that you will surrender
I know that you will surrender
I want this fantastic passion
We'll have fantastic passion

You can feel my lips undress your eyes
Undress your eyes, undress your eyes
Words of love and words so leisured
Words of poisoned darts of pleasure
Died... and so you died

You are the latest adventure
You're an emotion avenger
You are the devil that sells her
Light or dark, fantastic passion

I know that you will surrender
I know that you will surrender
I want this fantastic passion
We'll have fantastic passion

You can feel my lips undress your eyes
Undress your eyes, undress your eyes
Skin can feel my lips they tingle - tense anticipation
This one is an easy one, feel the word and melt upon it
Words of love and words so leisured
Words of poisoned darts of pleasure
Died and so you died

Ich heiße Superphantastisch!
Ich trinke Schampus mit Lachsfisch!
Ich heiße Su-per-phan-tas-tisch!
