Because I feel like a little destruction...

Lyrics off of Franz's Ferdinand's You Could Have it so Much Better. Don't know why this song is striking me at the moment.


The Fallen

So they say you're trouble boy
Because you like to destroy
All the things that bring 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 to the doctors

Did I see you in a limousine
Flinging out the fish and the unleavened
5000 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 felt bubbles burst
There was a flash of fist an eyebrow burst
You've a lazy laugh and a red white shirt
I fall 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 Magdelen 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 that you ever existed
I only have a problem when people insist on
Taking their hate and placing it on your name

So they say you're troubled 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 Magdelen 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

* Kunst = german for modern art?
** St Rollox = a church in Glasgow, Catholic of course
*** Tesco = basically the Walmart conglomerate of Europe, grocery and all else
