Franz Ferdinand Lyrics

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
And I am cold
Yes I'm cold
But not as cold as you are
I love the sound of you walking away
Why don't you walk away?
No buildings will fall down
Why don't you walk away?
No quake will split the ground
Why don't you walk away?
The sun won't swallow the sky
Why don't you walk away?
Statues will not cry
I cannot turn to see those eyes
As apologies may rise
I must be strong and stay an unbeliever
And love the sound of you walking away
Mascara bleeds into my eye
I'm not cold
I am old
At least as old as you are
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 4 is static
As you walk away
The stab of stiletto
On a silent night
Stalin smiles
Hitler laughs
Churchill claps
Mao Tse-Tung
On the back

Take Me Out :
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
I say... take me out!
I say you don't know
You say you don't know
I say... take me out!

The Dark Of The Matinee :

Take your white finger
Slide the nail under
the top and bottom buttons of
my blazer
Relax the fraying wool, slacken ties And I'm
not to look at you in the shoe
but the eyes
find the eyes
find me and follow me through corridors, refectories
and files You must follow leave this academic factory
Youll find me in the matinee
The dark of the matinee
is better in the matinee
The dark of the matinee is mine . is mine
time every journey, to bump into you, accidentally I
charm you and tell you, of the boys I hate , All the girls I hate
All the words I hate
All clothes I hate
How I'll never be
anything I hate
You smile, mention something that you like
How you'd have a happy life
if you did the things you like
find me and follow me through corridors, refectories
and files You must follow leave this academic factory
Youll find me in the matinee
The dark of the matinee
is better in the matinee
The dark of the matinee is mine . is mine
So I'm on BBC2 now,
telling Terry Wogan how
I made it and
What I made is unclear,
but his deference is
and his laughter is
My words and smile are so easy now
Yes, It's easy now (2x)
find me and follow me through corridors, refectories
and files You must follow leave this academic factory
Youll find me in the matinee
The dark of the matinee
is better in the matinee
The dark of the matinee is mine . is mine
(2x)

Can't Stop Feeling :

My soul starts spinning 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
And you leave me here on my own
Yeah you leave me here on the floor
You can't feel it
And you can't feel it
You can't feel it
And you can't feel anymore
Dooo-doo-doo, doo-doo-do-doo...
Soul boy, down and alone
And his soul is broken again
But you can't stop moving
No you won't stop moving along
Aaaaah...
My soul starts spinning again
I can't stop feeling
No, I don't stop feeling
And we're not 'us' anymore
I can't stop feeling
No, I won't stop feeling
And you leave me dancing alone
Yeah you leave me to die on the floor
You can't feel it
No you can't feel it
You can't feel it
And you can't feel anymore
Feel anymore, feel anymore
Feel anymore
Dooo-doo-doo, doo-doo-do-doo...
Soul boy, down and alone
And his soul is broken again
But you can't stop moving
No, you won't stop moving along
Aaaaah...
Can't stop moving
Oh I can't stop feeling
Can't stop feeling
No I can't stop feeling
And you can't feel it
And you can't feel it
You can't feel it
And you can't feel anymore
Soul boy, down and alone
And his soul is broken again
