Franz Ferdinand. Matinee

You take your white finger
Slide the nail under
the top and bottom buttons of
my blazer
Relax the fraying wool,
slacken ties And I'm
not to look at you in the shoe,
but the eyes, fight the eyes

Find me and follow me
through corridors, refectories
and files you must follow leave
this academic factory
You will find me in the matinee
The dark of the matinee
It's better in the matinee
The dark of the matinee is mine
Yes it's miiiiine


I time every journey
to bump into you,
accidentally I
charm you and tell you
of the boys I hate
All the girls I hate
All the words I hate
All the clothes I hate
How I'll never be anything I hate
You smile, mention something that you like
Oh How you'd have a happy life
if you did the things you like

Find me and follow me
through corridors, refectories
and files you must follow leave
this academic factory
You will find me in the matinee
The dark of the matinee
It's better in the matinee
The dark of the matinee is mine
Yes it's miiiiine

So I'm on BBC2 now,
telling Terry Wogan how
I made it and
What I made is unclear now,
but his differences and his laughter is
My words and smile are so easy now
Yes, It's easy now
Yes, It's easy now

Find me and follow me
through corridors, refectories
and files you must follow leave
this academic factory
You will find me in the matinee
The dark of the matinee
It's better in the matinee
The dark of the matinee is mine
Yes it's miiiiine

Find me and follow me
through corridors, refectories
and files you must follow leave
this academic factory
You will find me in the matinee
The dark of the matinee
It's better in the matinee
The dark of the matinee is mine
Yes it's miiiiine
