Reason is Treason

without-a-handrail:

Franz Ferdinand - Swallow, Smile

I wander ‘round the gulf between us,
Wonder how I came to feel
As fragile as a broken bone,
As useless — I’m a broken bone.
Come on, let’s fight — let’s feel alive;
Come on, let’s fight — let’s feel alive.
It’s the only feeling I’ve
Kept towards you that resembles
Any passion, any tremble.
Any word, I’ll take and turn it,
Twist, and pissed-on, I’ll return it.
Give me more, give me — I’ll
Swallow, swallow, swallow, smile,
Swallow, swallow, swallow, smile,
Swallow…

But it’s all right, I lie;
It’s okay, I lie.
It’s so fine, I —
It’s all right, I —
It’s okay, here’s another lie.
It’s so fine, here’s another lie.
It’s so —

How are his lyrics so good, gah.
