Tonight: Franz Ferdinand

[Verse 1]

Well I sit and hear sentimental footsteps

Then a voice say, "Hi, so

So whatcha got, whatcha got this time?

C'mon, let's get high

C'mon Lexo, whatcha got next-o?

Walk 25 miles, oh

Well I'm bored, I'm bored

C'mon, let's get high

C'mon, let's get high

C'mon, let's get high, high"

[Chorus 1]

Well, I found a new way

I found a new way

C'mon, don't amuse me

I don't need your sympathy

La, la-la-la-la

Ulysses

I found a new way

I found a new way, baby

[Verse 2]

Am I Ulysses? Am I Ulysses?

"No, but you are now, boy

So sinister, so sinister

But last night was wild

What's the matter, there?

Feelin' kind of anxious

That hot blood grew cold

Yeah, everyone, everybody knows it

Yeah, everyone, everybody knows it

Everybody knows ah..."

[Chorus 2]

La, la-la-la-la

Ulysses

I found a new way

I found a new way, baby

La, la-la-la-la

Ulysses

I found a new way

I found a new way, baby

[Bridge]

Oh... Oh, then suddenly you know

You're never goin' home

You're never, you're never

You're never, you're never

You're never, you're never

You're never goin' home

[Outro]

You're not Ulysses, oh baby, no

La-la-la-la

You're not Ulysses

La-la-la-la

[Verse 1]

It ain't easy being this kind of lover when you never call me

It ain't easy being this kind of lover, won't you ever call me

Oh, I'm dedicated, yes, I'm a forgiver

Oh, I'm dedicated, sure, I'm a giver

I'm dedicated, yes, I'm a forgiver

I'll forgive you always

[Chorus]

Although I know you turn it on, yeah (turn it on)

Although I know you turn it on, yeah (turn it on)

Although I know you turn it on, yeah (turn it on)

Although I know you turn it on, yeah, turn it on

[Verse 2]

You don't want to know how I manage alone

Oh no, you don't want to know what goes on when I'm on my own

You don't want to know how I plan on my own, oh no

You don't want to know how I know when you're on your own

[Chorus 2]

I’ll never be alone, yeah (turn it on)

You know I’d follow you to Rome, yeah (turn it on)

I know the places you call home, yeah (turn it on)

You know I’ll get you on your own, yeah, turn it on

[Bridge]

Ah, You know I know where you are

You know I know where you are

You know

[Outro]

I can't have another (you turn it on)

I can't stop thinking of you (you turn it on)

If I can't have you then nobody can

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Cause you turn it on, you turn it on

You turn it on, you turn it on

You turn it on, you turn it on

Woo, you turn it on

[Verse 1]

Oh, kiss me

Flick your cigarette, then kiss me

Kiss me where your eye won't meet me

Meet me where your mind won't kiss me

Flick your eyes at mine and then hit me

Hit me with your eyes so sweetly

Oh, you know, you know, you know that yes, I love

I mean I'd love to get to know you

[Pre-Chorus]

Do you never wonder?

No, no, no

[Chorus]

No, you girls never know

Oh, no, you girls'll never know

No, you girls never know

How you make a boy feel

You girls never know

Oh, no, you girls'll never know

No, you girls never know

How you make a boy feel

How you make a boy

[Verse 2]

Oh, kiss me

Flick your cigarette, then kiss me

Kiss me where your eye won't meet me

Meet me where your eye won't flick me, oh

Flick your mind and mine so briefly

Oh, you know, you know you're so sweetly

Oh, you know, you know, I know that I love you

I mean I, I mean I need to love

[Pre-Chorus]

Do you never wonder?

No, no, no

[Chorus]

No, you girls never know

Oh, no, you girls'll never know

No, you girls never know

How you make a boy feel

You girls never know

Oh, no, you girls'll never know

No, you girls never know

How you make a boy feel

How you make a boy feel

How you make a boy

[Bridge]

Sometimes I say stupid things

That I think, well, I mean I

Sometimes I think the stupidest things

Because I never wonder

Oh, how the girl feels

Oh, how the girl feels

[Chorus]

No, you boys never care

Oh, no, you boys'll never care

No, you boys never care

How the girl feels

You boys never care

You dirty boys'll never care

No, you boys never care

How the girl feels

Oh, how the girl feels

Oh, how the girl feels

[Verse 1]

I can't seem to feel the envy I should feel

Or maybe I don't need the sour side of love, of love

[Chorus 1]

No, I don't care his breath is in your hair

Well, I don't care his skin is still between

The still-warm fold of your sheets

Send him away

[Verse 2]

I don't mean to claim or own you

Or maybe I would like to

But I need whatever side of love is there

[Chorus 2]

No, I don’t care his breath is in your hair

Well, I don’t care his skin is still between

The still-warm fold of your sheets

From the fold of your sheets

Send him away

[Bridge]

(Send him away)

(Send him away)

(Send him away)

(Send him away)

(Send him away)

[Outro]

Oh, can't you let me stay tonight?

Oh, can't you let me stay tonight?

Oh, can't you let me stay tonight?

Oh, can't you let me stay tonight?

Oh, can't you let me stay tonight?

Can't you let me stay tonight?

[Verse 1]

I wrote your name upon the

Back of my hand

Slept upon it

Then I woke up

With it backwards on my face

Reading forwards from my mirror

To my heart

[Chorus]

Twilight omens in my life

Then I hear your name

Hear the radio sing your name

Should I give you a call?

What should I say?

Maybe you still feel the same?

[Verse 2]

I typed your number

Into my calculator

Where it spelled a dirty word

When you turned it upside down

You could turn my dirty world

The bright way round

[Chorus]

Twilight omens in my life

Then I hear your name

Hear the radio sing your name

Should I give you a call?

What can I say

Maybe I still feel the same?

[Outro]

Twilight omens in my life

Keep hearing your name

Keep hearing your name

Keep hearing your name

I hear the radio sing your name

Hear the radio sing your name

Hear the radio sing your name

[Intro]

You don't know I sing these songs about you

You don't know the pseudonyms I assume

You don't know the pseudonyms I assume

For you

[Verse 1]

Are you happier now that the gods are dying?

Or do you dream of Heston with omniscient beard?

You should be happier now with no one to pray to

Or would you love to break your knees while begging and praying?

[Chorus]

Bite hard

It's a broken smile

That's breaking their hearts

And breaking their mind

Bite hard

It's 5:05

Your engine's alive

And we ride together

Bite hard

Bite hard

[Verse 2]

I may be lonelier now but I'm happy alone, honest

It ain't lonely alone, what would we talk about anyway?

No, I'd never resort to kissing your photo, honest

I just had to see how the chemicals taste there, honey

[Chorus]

Bite hard

It's a broken smile

That's breaking their hearts

And breaking their mind

Bite hard

It's 5:05

Your engine's alive

And we ride together

And we ride together

And we die together

Bite hard

Bite hard

Bite hard

[Outro]

I never

No, I never

I never

No, I never

I just had to

I just had to

I just had to

See now honey

Bite hard

It's a broken smile

That's breaking their hearts

And breaking their minds

Bite hard

It's a 5.05

Your engine's alive

We ride together

We ride together

We die together

[Verse 1]

I got a question for ya, I got a question for you

Where'd you get your name from, where'd you get your name from?

I got a question for you

Where do you see yourself in five minutes' time?

[Pre-Chorus]

With a laugh like that, or a look like that

You makes us all feel gauche like it’s a smutty joke but

With a laugh like that, or a look like that

You make us all just go

La-la-la-la

[Chorus]

Whoa, look out, you're what she came for

You're what she came for

No question, no doubt

Whoa, look out, you're what she came for

She knows what she came for

No question, no doubt

Whoa

You're what she came for, whoa

[Verse 2]

I got a question for ya, another question for ya

How do you feel the, how do you feel the pressure?

Why you wearing what you're wearing?

Where will your life be gone in five minutes' time?

So say something stupid, you know that you'd love to

[Chorus]

[Outro] x4

You're what she came for

[Verse 1]

I want to live alone

Because the greatest love

Is always ruined by the bickering

The argument of living

I want to live alone

I could be happy on my own

Live the rest of my life

With the vaguest of feeling

[Chorus] (x2)

Wherever you are

Whoever is there

You know that I'll be here, I'll be here

Wishing I could be there

[Verse 2]

And so I'm going to live alone

I'm not saying that our love is the greatest

But I'm in love with you

And 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

[Chorus]

Wherever you are

Whoever is there

You know that I'll be here, I'll be here

Wishing I could be there

[Bridge]

In New York City when I get in a taxi

I say "Man" to the driver

So he'll say "Man

Oh, I can imagine

Having a drink with that guy"

"He's alright" [x5]

[Chorus] (x2)

Wherever you are

Whoever is there

You know that I'll be here, I'll be here

Wishing I could be there

[Verse 1]

The salt starts stinging again

I can't stop feeling, no, I won't stop feeling

And the fun's not fun anymore

I can't stop feeling, no, I won't stop feeling

[Chorus 1]

You leave me here on my own

You leave me here on the floor

You can't feel it, you can't feel it

You can't feel it, you can't feel anymore

Feel anymore, feel anymore, feel anymore

[Verse 2]

The salt starts stinging again

I can't stop feeling, no, I won't stop feeling

Although we're not us anymore

I can't stop, no, I won't stop

[Chorus 2]

You leave me dancing alone

You leave me to die on the floor

You can't feel it, you can't feel it

You can't feel it, you can't feel anymore

Feel anymore, feel anymore, feel anymore

[Bridge]

So boy, you're down and alone

And your soul's broken again

But you can't stop moving

No, you won't stop moving along

[Outro]

You can't feel it, you can't feel it

You can't feel it, you can't feel anymore

Can't feel anymore, can't feel anymore, can't feel

You can't feel anymore, anymore, anymore

You can't feel anymore

[Intro]

I'm gonna give my aimless love

My angry heart, my desire

I woke with wings from lucid dreams

I knew the reason I felt hollow

Was that I may never know

If there is some great truth or not

There is no—

[Chorus 1]

I'll dream a nation of you

A new utopia for you to live in

I'll dream a nation of me

A new ambrosia that we can live in

Lucid dreams, uh-huh, yeah

I'm living in lucid dreams, uh-huh, yeah

[Verse]

Sweep slides on my stereo

Shortwave ride my rodeo

Beat came from Addis Abylon

But I'm flying to Istanbul

Oh, so why don't you come along?

[Chorus 2]

I'll dream a nation of you

A new utopia for you to live in

I'll dream a nation of me

Another Narnia where we can live in

Lucid dreams, uh-huh, yeah

I'm living in lucid dreams, uh-huh, yeah

[Bridge]

Lucid dreams, I'm living in lucid dreams

I'm living on shortwave streams tonight

Lucid dreams, I'm living in lucid dreams

I'm living on shortwave streams tonight

I'm living in lucid dreams, uh-huh, yeah

I'm living in lucid dreams, uh-huh, yeah

Uh-huh, yeah

[Instrumental Outro]

[Verse 1]

Don't be afraid if you hear voices

Or feel the sweet air spoken upon you

Sometimes the sound of a thousand whispering words

Of hope will reassure, show me the future

Will see us join together

If the oceans split or the mountains sigh

Then I will keep on dreaming

[Chorus]

I live to dream again

I live to dream again

I live to dream again

[Verse 2]

Don't be afraid if you're descending the deepest despair

Without a handrail to guide you

Sometimes the sound of a thousand whispering words can confuse

But when you're sleeping

They shift and slide together

Bring meaning to the canyon's cry

Oh I, I keep on dreaming

[Chorus]

I live to dream again

I live to dream again

I live to dream again

I live to dream again

[Bridge]

Sometimes the sound of a thousand whispers are where

You live a little fear but feel the future

Well, I feel us dream together

I feel no fear, I feel no fire

Oh I, I keep on dreaming

[Outro]

I live to dream again

I live to dream again

I live to dream again

I live to dream again

I live to dream again

I live to dream again

I live to dream...

The electric bombast of “No You Girls” is… Read More 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
