♪ Franz Ferdinand Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

This is where I'll be
So heavenly
So come and dance with me Michael

So sexy, I'm sexy
Come and dance with me Michael

I'm all that you see, you want to see
Come and dance with me Michael

So close now so close now
Come and dance with me
Come and dance with me
So come and dance with me

Michael you're the boy with all the leather hips
Sticky hair, sticky hips, stubble on my sticky lips
Michael you're the only one I'd ever want
Beautiful boys on a beautiful dance-floor
Michael you're dancing like a beautiful dance-whore
Michael waiting on a silver platter now
And nothing matters now

This is what I am, I am a man
Come and dance with me Michael

So strong now, it's strong now
Come and dance with me Michael

I'm all that you'll be, you'll ever see
So come and dance with me, Michael

So close now.
You're close now.
Come and dance with me.
Come and dance with me. [Repeat: x2]

Michael you're the boy with all the leather hips
Sticky hair, sticky hips, stubble on my sticky lips
Michael you're the only one I'd ever want
Beautiful boys on a beautiful dance-floor
Michael you're dancing like a beautiful dance-whore




Michael waiting on a silver platter now
And nothing matters now

The lyrics are fairly straightforward, with the singer repeatedly inviting Michael to dance with him.


One interpretation of the song is that it could be about a man exploring his sexuality or coming out as gay. The lyrics are very focused on physical attraction and desire, with the singer admiring Michael's body and wanting to be close to him.

Lyrics

So if you're lonely
You know I'm here waiting for you
I'm just a cross hair
I'm just a shot away from you
And if you leave here
You leave me broken, shattered, I lie
I'm just a cross hair
I'm just a shot, then we can die

I know I won't be leaving here with you

I say don't you know
You say you don't know
I say, take me out!

I say you don't show
Don't move, tide is low
I say, take me out!

I say you don't know
You say you don't know
I say, take me out!

If I move this could die
Eyes move this can die
I want you to take me out

I know I won't be leaving here (with you)
I know I won't be leaving here
I know I won't be leaving here (with you)
I know I won't be leaving here with you

I say don't you know
You say you don't know
I say, take me out!

If I wane this could die
I wait this could die
I want you to take me out

If I move this could die
Eyes move this can die
Come on, take me out

I know I won't be leaving here (with you)
I know I won't be leaving here
I know I won't be leaving here (with you)
I know I won't be leaving here with you

So if you're lonely
You know I'm here waiting for you
I'm just a cross-hair
I'm just a shot away from you
And if you leave here
You leave me broken, shattered I lie
I'm just a cross-hair
I'm just a shot, then we can die
Ah-ah-ah
I know I won't be leaving here
With you
I say, "Don't you know?"
You say, "You don't know"
I say
"Take me out"
I say, "You don't show"
Don't move, time is slow
I say
"Take me out
I say, "You don't know"
You say, "You don't know"
I say
"Take me out"
If I move, this could die
If eyes move, this could die
I want you
To take me out
I know, I won't be leaving here (with you)
Oh, I know I won't be leaving here
I know, I won't be leaving here (with you)
I know, I won't be leaving here
With you
I say, "Don't you know?"
You say, "You don't know"
I say
"Take me out"
If I wane, this could die
If I wait, this could die
I want you
To take me out
If I move, this could die
Eyes move, this can die
Come on
Take me out
I know, I won't be leaving here (with you)
Oh, I know I won't be leaving here
I know, I won't be leaving here (with you)
