"Tell Her Tonight"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]

Hey, I'll have to tell her, you tell her tonight, yeah I'll have to tell her, tell her tonight, yeah

I'll have to tell her, to tell her tonight, yeah I'll have to tell her, to tell her tonight

I only held her hand, but she saw it I only watched her walk, but she saw it I only touched her neck but she saw it

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

Hey, I'll have to tell her, you tell her tonight, yeah Hey, I'll have to tell her, you tell her tonight, yeah You have to tell her, you tell her tonight, oh yeah

"Take Me Out"

So if you're lonelyYou know I'm here waiting for you

"Franz Ferdinand" (2004)I'm just a crosshair

I'm just a shot away from youAnd if you leave here

You leave me broken, shattered, I lieI'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 knowYou say you don't know

I say... take me out!I say you don't show

Don't move, time is slowI say... take me out!I say you don't know

You say you don't knowI say... take me out!

If I move this could dieIf eyes move this could dieI want you...to take me out!

I know I won't be leaving here (with you)I know I won't be leaving here

I know I won't be leaving here (with you)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

If I wane, this can dieIf I wane, this can die

I want you to take me out

If I move, this could dieIf eyes move, this could die

Come on, take me out

I know I won't be leaving hereI know I won't be leaving hereI know I won't be leaving here

I know I won't be leaving here with you


"The Dark Of The Matinée"

You take your white fingerSlide the nail under the top and bottom buttons of my blazer

Relax the fraying wool, slacken tiesAnd 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 filesYou must follow, leave this academic factory

You will find me in the matineeThe dark of the matineeIt's better in the matinee

The dark of the matinee is mineYes it's mine

I time every journey to bump into you, accidentallyI charm you and tell you of the boys I hate

All the girls I hateAll the words I hateAll the clothes I hate

How I'll never be anything I hateYou smile, mention something that you like

How you'd have a happy life if you did the things you like




So I'm on BBC2 now, telling Terry Wogan how I made itWhat I made is unclear now, but his deference is and his laughter is

My words and smile are so easy nowYes, It's easy nowYes, It's easy now





"Auf Acshe"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

Now you wish she'd never come back here again Oh, never come back here again

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

"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

"Fresh Strawberries"

We are fresh strawberriesFresh burst of red strawberriesRipe, turning riper in the bowl

We will soon be rottenWe will all be forgotten

Half remembered rumours of the old

Wouldn’t it be easy withSomething to believe in that could

Give us moreThan here’s my workSo where’s my pay

To buy what I don’t need?Wouldn’t it be easy to believe?

Thieves believeEverybody steals

I believe there’s nothing to believeBut I’d love the manualThe instruction manual

Oh, liarsSwear that they never lie

Wouldn’t it be easy withSomething to believe in that could

Give us moreThan here’s my yearsSo now they’re gone

It’s time for me to leaveWouldn’t it be easy to believe?

We are fresh strawberriesFresh burst of red strawberries

Ripe, turning riper – so…

Wouldn’t it be easy?Something could give us more

But I don’t knowNo I don’t know

I don’t know what I needWouldn’t it be easyCouldn’t it be easyShouldn’t it be easy

To believe"Love Illumination"


When you’re happy from a dreamIs it hard to work out what is real

Is the real over thereMore vivid than here ever feels

We could love, we could love youIf you need somebody to love you

While you’re looking for somebody to love

[Chorus:]Sweet love illumination

Sweet, sweet love elevationOutside, fresh other side

But inside love, you will be alrightSweet love illumination

Sweet, sweet love celebrationGot covered, reason term

But it’ll bring you upYou will be alright

It’s a black pool, bright lightBrighter than the light in your home

Well, you want to be lovedBut nobody else seems to know

We could love, we could love youIf you need somebody to love you

While you’re looking for somebody to love

[Chorus]

[Bridge:]We could love, we could love youIf you need somebody to love you

While you’re looking for somebody to loveWe’re all looking for somebody

We’re all looking for somebody to love

[Chorus]

"Stand On The Horizon"

How can I tell you I was wrong?How can I tell you I was wrong?

When I am


The proudest manEver born

I stand on the horizonI want to step across it with you

But when the sun’s this lowEverything’s cold

On the line of the horizon

Come to meOh won’t you come to me

How can I tell you I was wrong?How can I tell you I was wrong?

When I amThe cruellest man

Ever born

I stand on the horizonI want to step across it with you

But when the sun is this lowEverything’s gold

On the line of the horizon

In South Shields Metro stationI heard Marsden Rock was breaking

The North Sea shakingAll that we know

To make us see the point of livingIs to live

So won’t you come to me

The North Sea sings“Won’t you come to me baby?”

The North Sea singing“Won’t you come to me?”


"Bullet"

While I’m awayYou can let the mouse go down on you

Let the mouse do what I’d doIf I was there

But you’d better explainThat I have vendetta in my narrow bones

And a vindictive eyeOf my jealousy I have no control

No control

I’ll never get your bullet out of my head nowHow can I get your bullet out of my head now

I have no controlBut I tryYes I try

So I’d better explain that I have aRed vendetta in my narrow bones

A wicked indicative eyeOf my yellow jealousy I have no control

No control

I’ll never get your bullet…

Get out of my headGet out of my head now

Get out of my mind


"The Universe Expanded"

I’ll give you each love letter backWe’ll laugh before every joke is toldWe’ll pose after every photograph

Has been removed from the negative

[indistinct muttering]

With every smile we lose a lineWatch the stars fall back into the sky

Cork the wine, unbake a cakeTake the dog back to the RSPCA

But I don’t mind losing you this time

I’ll meet you coming backwardsI’ll meet you coming back

When the universe has expandedTime will contractYou’ll come back

I’ll meet you coming backwardsNext time

We make-up start an argumentTears crawl back into your…

I turn from a friendOf your friendUnintroduced

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 forwardsInto emptinessInto the void

Into the universe

We’ll part as happy strangersFrom a long friendship

That grew fromSuch a love


"Brief Encounters"We are bored

We are marriedWe are young

On the edge of the cityThe edge of AmbrosiaRolls upon rolls uponRolls upon the tongue

A certain partyA certain cul-de-sacA certain outcome

A certain piece of me

Car keys choose your keys

Outside aloneCrossing a perfect lawn

Could it be youCould it be youOr could it be

This is what freedom is?

We are brief encountersWe all lose our keys

We all choose our partnersWe all choose our keys

Car keys choose your keys

Pull back, pull backInto the drive

Rigid in the matrimonial superking bedPretend to sleepPretend to sleepCome on pretendYeah, lets pretend

We are brief encounters…
