Lyrics Franz Ferdinand

Franz Ferdinand

The Fallen

Some say you're trouble, boy

Just because you like to destroy

All the things that bring the idiots joy

Well, what's wrong with a little destruction?

And the Kunst won't talk to you

Because you kissed St Rollox Adieu

Because you robbed a supermarket or two

Well, who gives a damn about the prophets of Tesco?

Did I see you in a limousine

Flinging out the fish and the unleavened

Turn the rich into wine

Walk on the mean

For the fallen are the virtuous among us

Walk among us

Never judge us

Yeah we're all...

Up now and get 'em, boy

Up now and get 'em, boy

Drink to the devil and death at the doctors

Did I see you in a limousine

Flinging out the fish and the unleavened

Five thousand users fed today

As you feed us

Won't you lead us

To be blessed

So we stole and drank Champagne

On the seventh seal you said you never feel pain

"I never feel pain, won't you hit me again?"

"I need a bit of black and blue to be a rotation"

In my blood I feel the bubbles burst

There was a flash of fist, an eyebrow burst

You've a lazy laugh and a red white shirt

I fell to the floor fainting at the sight of blood

Did I see you in a limousine

Flinging out the fish and the unleavened

Turn the rich into wine

Walk on the mean

Be they Magdalene or virgin you've already been

You've already been and we've already seen

That the fallen are the virtuous among us

Walk among us

Never judge us to be blessed

So I'm sorry if I ever resisted

I never had a doubt you ever existed

I only have a problem when people insist on

Taking their hate and placing it on your name

Some say you're trouble, boy

Just because you like to destroy

You are the word, the word is 'destroy'

I break this bottle and think of you fondly

Did I see you in a limousine

Flinging out the fish and the unleavened

To the whore in a hostel

Or the scum of a scheme

Turn the rich into wine

Walk on the mean

It's not a jag in the arm

It's a nail in the beam

On this barren Earth

You scatter your seed

Be they Magdalene or virgin

You've already been

Yeah, you've already been

We've already seen

That the fallen are the virtuous among us

Walk among us

If you judge us

We're all damned
