Franz Ferdinand - The Dark of the Matinée lyrics

[Franz Ferdinand - The Dark of the Matinée lyrics]

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 find 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 matinée
The dark of the matinée
It's better in the matinée
The dark of the matinée is mine
Yes, it's mine

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 matinée
The dark of the matinée
It's better in the matinée
The dark of the matinée is mine

Yes, it's mine

So I'm on BBC Two now
Telling Terry Wogan how I made it
And what I made is unclear now
But his deference is 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 matinée
Dark of the matinée
It's better in the matinée
The dark of the matinée
You will find me and follow me
Through corridors
Refectories and files
You must follow
Leave this academic factory
You will find me in the matinée
The dark of the matinée
Better in the matinée
The dark of the matinée is mine
Yes, it's mine
