Franz Ferdinand lyrics

Van Tango had a mean old scene, Van Tango!

(Mean old scene, Van Tango)

Van Tango had a mean old scene, Van Tango!

(Mean old scene, Van Tango)
He worked night-shift at the opera

(Mean old scene, Van Tango)

Watching the girls go by

(Girls go by, Van Tango)

He's singled out tonight

(Singled out, Van Tango)

He's singled out every night

(Singled out, Van Tango)

I'm so free I could lacerate

Rip the robes right off my chest

I fly high above the Muscovites' sky
I'm going to rip, rip, I'll never rest

I'm going to meet you at midnight

I'm not used to living alone

I have to learn how to live or I'll die

Margarita - Love and Destroy

I'm so free as I meet you

Welcoming black, the Queen of the ball

It's dark beneath the Muscovites' sky

I live in the Merchant City, drive 4x4

I eat MNS, it tastes of nothing

Oh I taste of nothing

I am the New Scottish Gentry
Anglified vowels, sub London thoughts

I am the New Scottish Gentry

Anglified vowels, sub London thoughts

So I'm shopping, shopping for blood

Oh I'm shopping, shopping for blood

So I'm shopping, shopping for blood

Oh I'm shopping, shopping for...

There's only wind and dust to follow
Your footsteps on the run
You know me, know when I'm without you
I swear my heart burns in the sun

Baby, don't start walking away
Stop walking away
Start coming around and around again

Don't start walking away
Stop walking away
Start coming around and around again

I see you in your glasses clearly
Your shades are blinding me, I say

It's always better on holiday

That's why we only work when we need the money

Jacqueline was seventeen and working on the desk of the poetry library

When she caught the eye behind Ivor's spectacle

They shared tea, ideas and passions

His eyes forgot the face they were peering from

When they peered upon her face

Well, you know that face as well as I do:

Jacqueline was seventeen, working on a desk
When Ivor peered above her spectacle
Forgot that he had wrecked a girl
Sometime these eyes forget the face they're peering from
When the face they peer upon
Well you know that face as I do
And how in the return of the gaze
She can return you the face that you're staring from

It's always better on holiday
So much better on holiday

So if you're lonely
You know I'm here waiting for you
I'm just a crosshair
I'm just a shot away from you
And if you leave here
You leave me broken, shattered, I lie
I'm just a crosshair
I'm just a shot, then we can die

I know I won't be leaving here with you

I say don't you know
You say you don't know
I say... take me out!

I say you don't show
Don't move, tide is low

Goodbye girl, because I'm lonely

Goodbye girl, it isn't over

Goodbye girl, because it's only love

Goodbye girl, you know you want me
Goodbye girl, yes I'm a loser

Goodbye girl, you know it's only love

I'm cheating on you, yeah

I'm cheating on you, yeah

I'm cheating on you, yeah

You're cheating on me

Goodbye girl, you are are the only one

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

Although my lover lives

In a place that I can't live

I kinda find I like a life

This lonely

It rips and pierces me
In places i cant 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 only watched her walk, but she saw it

I only heard her talk, but she saw it

I only touched her lips but she saw it

I only kissed her lips, but she saw it
Gonna have to tell her tonight (x4)

She only flicked her eyes, but I saw it

She only swung her hair, but I saw it

She only shook her hips, but I saw it

She only licked her lips, but I saw it

Gonna have to tell her tonight (x4)

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 you're not so special so look what you've done, boy

Eyes, burning a way through me
Eyes, destroying so sweetly
Now there is a fire in me
A fire that burns

This fire is out of control
I'm going to burn this city, burn this city
This fire is out of control
I'm going to burn this city, burn this city
This fire is out of control
This fire is out of control
This fire is out of control
And I'll burn

Eyes, boring a way through me

This is where I'll be
so heavenly
so come and dance with me Michael

So sexy, I'm sexy
come and dance with me Michael

I'm all that you see, you want to see
come and dance with me Michael

so close now so close now
come and dance with me
come and dance with me
So come and dance with me

Michael you're the boy with all the leather hips
Sticky hair, stickyhips, stubble on my sticky lips

As I glance once upon the foam

40 feet beneath my feet

The coldest calm falls
Through the molten veins

Cooling all the blood to slush

That congeals around the brain

La la la

40 feet remain

Salt scales upon my drying arms

Burn my back beneath the sun

But I am cold beneath the burning rays

Looking down, looking down

Down, down again

La la la

40 feet remain
