Lyrics Franz Ferdinand

Franz Ferdinand

Jacqueline

Jacqueline was seventeen,

working on a desk

when Ivor

peered above a spectacle

Forgot that he had wrecked a girl,

sometimes 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 are staring from

R: It's always better on holiday,

so much better on holiday

That's why we only work when

we need the money

R: It's always better...

Gregor was down again,

said come on kick me again,

I'm so drunk

I don't mind if you kill me

Come on you gutless

I'm alive

and how I know it

but for chips and for freedom

I could die

R: It's always better... (4x)
