Franz Ferdinand ist eine Indie-Rockband aus Glasgow, Schottland. Stilistisch wird die Gruppe teilweise dem so genannten britpop  zugerechnet, wobei ihre Musik klare Einflüsse aus dem post-punk  der späten 1970er und dem new wave  der frühen 1980er aufweist.  Als einziges Mitglied der Band besuchte Robert Hardy die Glasgow School of Art.  Ihre ersten Auftritte hatte die Band im Chateau, einer leerstehenden Lagerhalle, die sie selbst zu einem illegalen Treffpunkt von Glasgower Indie-Bands und Kunststudenten gestalteten. 

Franz Ferdinand es una banda de rock formada en Glasgow (Escocia) en 2001.  El grupo escocés toma su nombre del archiduque austrohúngaro Francisco Fernando (Franz Ferdinand en alemán) cuyo asesinato fue la excusa final que llevaría a la Iª Guerra Mundial, la llamada Gran Guerra.   A finales de 2001, Bob estaba sentado en la cocina de Alex. Alex justo había recibido un bajo de parte de su amigo Mick Cooke (Belle &amp; Sebastian), a condición que hiciera &quot;algo útil&quot; con él. Así que Bob aprendió a tocar el bajo y ambos planearon una banda.

Flick your cigarette then kiss me
Flick your eyes at mine so briefly 
Your leather jacket lies in sticky pools of cider blackberry

You glance a ricochet from every alpha male behind me
Eyes 
Like marbles on a washing machine
I wonder
How the boy feels

Katherine kiss me
In the alleyway by Jakey's 
Jack in the sodium light
Yes, I love you 
I mean, I- I mean, I- need to love

And though your opened eyes stare 
Bored upon the overflowing pipes above me
Tonight
I don't mind
Because I never wonder
How the girl feels

into the arms of the girl that I love
                Am 
the only love I havent screwed up
A#                  Dm
   She's so hard to please
             Gm      C  
but shes a forest fire
        F               
I do my best to meet her demands
Am

         Dm
we slow dance in the living room
    Am                      A#
but all that a stranger would see
        Dm           Gm               C     
is one girl swaying alone stroking her cheek

[Chorus]

      F         Am            Dm 
They say, "you're a little much for me
         Am     A# 
You're a liability

You're a little much for me"
               F              Am 
So they pull back make other plans
       Dm

     Am     A#

        Dm         Gm    
Get you wild, make you leave

till all of the tricks dont work anymore
Dm              Gm       C
And then they are bored of me
             
                    F
I know that its exciting
                     Am
running through the night but
              Dm                Am
every perfect summer's eating me alive
            A#    Dm
unitl youre gone
Gm          C
Better on my own

[Chorus]

      F         Am            Dm 
They say, "you're a little much for me
         Am     A# 
You're a liability
          Dm         Gm    C
You're a little much for me"
               F              Am 
So they pull back make other plans
       Dm 
I understand
     Am     A#

I'm a little much for eh oh-na-na-na everyone

[Outro]
             Dm           F           A#
They're gonna watch me disappear into the sun
                 Dm        F           A#
You're all gonna watch me disappear into the sun

Liability

A                                     E 
Roll into your town and I'm walking around

And you follow me around, and you're asking for the time

Your asking what I found 
                         A
think I'm gonna rob you blind

maybe it's the tattoo on my arm
        E
that I drew while I was bored waiting tables in new york
Fm                                            D
 a  heart and two flowers intertwined with a vine

G                  D
You like the light coming through the windows
 Bm                      A
I sleep late, so I just keep 'em all closed
G                  D
You ignore the music on the radio
Bm                 A
I don't, I sing-a-long

Cold outside and you're just in a T-shirt
Bm                   A
I have cold blood even in a sweater
G                         D
You start your night sippin' by the Kilo
Bm                   A
I don't, I know you know


[Pre-Chorus]
G               D        Bm             A
I don't ask for you to change, baby no no no

G                          D
Somehow we end up on the same side

And you wouldn't think that we'd be alright
G                      D            Bm             A
Even our eyes are different colors, but we see fine

Somehow we end up on the same side (up on the same side)

Crash Years

Intro  D     Bm7   G     A     x2


Verse 1
    D                              Bm7
We never spoke a word, but every thought she had 
                         G     A Asus A
I heard from across the room 
             D                               Bm7
If we were standin' face to face I couldn't find the words 
               G               A Asus A
To say give me one more move 
        G              A             G                   A
I don't even know her name, I guess foolish pride's to blame


Chorus 
          D                        D7
Now, I'm fallin' in love as she's walkin' away
        Bm7                 F#              G                    A
And my heart won't tell my mind to tell my mouth what it should say
 D                                  D7
May have lost this battle, live to fight another day
        Bm7 A   G                              Gm
Now I'm fallin' in love as she's walkin' away

Verse 2
          D                           Bm7
Wise man next to me did say 'bout the one that got away
        G                    A
Son, I missed my chance 
           D                            Bm7
Don't you let regret take place of the dreams you have to chase
     G               A
Ask her to dance, go on, son
           G                 A              G                  A
You might fall down on your face, roll the dice and have some faith


Chorus
          D                        D7
Don't be fallin' in love as she's walkin' away
           Bm7                   F#                G                    A
When your heart won't tell your mind to tell your mouth what it should say
 D                                  D7
May have lost this battle, live to fight another day
         Bm7 A   G                               Gm
Don't be fallin' in love as she's walkin' away

You might fall down on your face, roll the dice and have some faith
 
          D                        D7
Don't be fallin' in love as she's walkin' away

When your heart won't tell your mind to tell your mouth what it should say
 D                                  D7
May have lost this battle, live to fight another day

As She's Walking Away

Am                              E
There are children standing here,
                              G
Arms outstretched into the sky,
                          D
Tears drying on their face.
              Am
He has been here.
                          E
Brothers lie in shallow graves.
                           G
Fathers lost without a trace.
                           D
A nation blind to their disgrace,
                        Am
Since he's been here.
                    E
And I see no bravery,
 G                  D
No bravery in your eyes anymore.

Only sadness.

(Continue the same chord progression)

Houses burnt beyond repair.
The smell of death is in the air.
A woman weeping in despair says,
He has been here.
Tracer lighting up the sky.
It's another families' turn to die.
A child afraid to even cry out says,
He has been here.

And I see no bravery,
No bravery in your eyes anymore.
Only sadness.

There are children standing here,
Arms outstretched into the sky,
But no one asks the question why,
He has been here.
Old men kneel to accept their fate.
Wives and daughters cut and raped.
A generation drenched in hate.
Says, he has been here.

And I see no bravery,
No bravery in your eyes anymore.
Only sadness.
