Franz Ferdinand - The Human Fear Lyrics






Audacious


Alright, here we go with riff one

Did you ever get the feeling that there's something come undone
An unreeling in the seaming, the stitching gone
So you rip a little harder 'til that rip becomes a run
Feel the fabric of existence come unspun

Hey there, we don't care
Could be standing way out where
You're naked and freezing 'til you run
Freeze or run

But don't stop feeling audacious, there's no one to save us
So just carry on
And don't go blaming the neighbors, you know they're the same as us
We should just get on
Get on

With a plastic carrier bag in each hand, the rain fell low so you were standing
Under the holly tree with exasperated feelings and
Hey ho, you don't know, is it a joke? No, I said no
I'm serious, more serious than I've ever been
I've ever been

So don't stop feeling audacious, there's no one to save us
So just carry on
And don't go blaming the neighbors, you know they're the same as us
We should just get on
Get on

Did you ever get the feeling that your world has come undone?
No revealing of a reason to carry on
When hey there, it's there
Waiting just in there, ready any time to come along
Along

So don't stop feeling audacious, the unknown and the famous
They say just carry on
And no, there's just us to save us, forget any favors
We should just get on
Get on with it

Everydaydreamer


No, I'm fine
I just need time
To let my mind
Relax, find a detour
I may be here with you
But I'm not in the room
With perspective
Enough perspective
Anything can disappear
Until all we can see
Is the point of infinity

No, this life isn't over
Until we don't know it's over
The unknown return
To before it began, it began

Well, I'm an every day dreamer
Everyday dreamer
I'm looking through a window in a wall
Yes, I'm an every day dreamer
And every daydreamer knows
Every dream goes

Put the dream down
Don't put the dream down
These dreams are making nonsense
Of this waking sense
Of these waking senses
Memories and dreameries
Are not how we remember
Remember who we are
But who we think we are
Think we are

Well, I'm an every day dreamer
Everyday dreamer
I'm looking through a window in a wall
Yes, I'm an every day dreamer
And every daydreamer knows
Every dream goes
Every dream goes
Every dream goes
Every dream goes
Every dream goes

The Doctor


Well, I said to the doctor, I don't want to go home
I think you ought to leave this drip alone
I've become accustomed to this level of attention
I have nurses I can talk to and thermometers to hold

Though I feel just a little bit better
I could feel so much better
Can't you see?

Oh, doctor, doctor, doctor, doctor
Doctor, doctor, doctor, doctor
I've become accustomed to this level of affection
I have visions I can talk to and my nightmares to behold

Though I feel just a little bit better
I could feel so much better
Can't you see that I have a good bed here
I don't want to leave here
Just getting to know you
You don't want me to go
You don't want me to go

Oh, doctor, doctor, doctor, doctor
Doctor, doctor, doctor, doctor
Doctor, doctor, doctor, doctor
I've become accustomed to this level of infection
There are catheters to cling to and my lifetime to unfold

Doctor, doctor, doctor, doctor
Doctor, doctor, doctor, doctor

Hooked


I got the fear
Got the human fear
That's alright
That's alright, you see
Everybody here
Got the human fear
So that's alright with me

I took the fear
I hit the tenth
Down by the canal
Sliding into midnight
Hotel du Nord
Give me some amour
Atmosphere, atmosphere
Tout le monde is alright

Amour, Amour
More, more amour
I thought I knew what love was
I thought I knew what love was
And then I met you

You got me hooked
Uh, you got me hooked
Uh, you got me hooked
Uh huh, you got me hooked
Uh huh, you got me

I got obsession
Got a new obsession
Tattoo two initials
Where everybody see them
Everybody here
Everybody here
Everybody here
Love GG

Amour, Amour
More, more amour
I thought I knew what love was
I thought I knew what love was
And then I met you

You got me hooked
Uh huh, you got me hooked
Uh huh, you got me hooked
Uh huh, you got me hooked
Uh huh, you got me
Uh huh, you got me hooked
Uh huh, you got me hooked
Uh huh, you got me hooked
Yeah, you got me

I got the fear
I've got the human fear
That's alright, that's alright
You got me hooked
Everybody here
Got the human fear
But that's alright, that's alright
You got me hooked
More amour
You give me more amour
But that's alright, that's alright
You got me hooked

Build It Up


How can we talk
About our differences
When we don't talk
Don't talk at all
It seems so critical
To speak less critically
I see no truth as mythical
No vast unbridgeable

Give me strength to overcome
Give me strength I'm not going to run
Build it up, build it up

You've got to give some, take some
Fix it up, you've got to break some
You've got to open up, you've got to share
Build it up if nothing's there

How can we talk
About our differences
When we don't talk
Don't talk at all
Listen to the echo
Of the anger of our silences
Or to the sound
Of each other's heart

Give me strength to overcome
Give me strength I'm not going to run
Build it up, build it up

You've got to give some, take some
Fix it up, you've got to break some
You've got to open up, you've got to share
Build it up if nothing's there

You've got to give some, take some
Fix it up, you've got to break some
You've got to open up, you've got to share
Build it up if nothing's there

I can build it up
If you want to build it up
We can build it up if
You want to build it up with me
Come on and build it up
Come on and build it up with me

You've got to give some, take some
Fix it up, you've got to break some
You've got to open up, you've got to share
Build it up if nothing's there

Come on bring some, shake some
Pull it all down but hate none
You've got to open up, you've got to care
Build it up if nothing's there

You've got to give some, take some
Fix it up, you've got to break some
You've got to open up, you've got to share
Build it up if nothing's there

Come on bring some, shake some
Pull it all down but hate none
You've got to open up, you've got to care
Build it up if nothing's there

Night or Day


I look forward to every day - oh my
But some days are just here to try
Sometimes it's every day - oh my
Sometimes it's every night

I f I can be irascible or proud
Them we can be predictable

We turn to face each other
We turn to test each other
We lean against each other

Life is never going to be easy
But if you're living it with me
We're going to livе it up night or day
Well I want to live a life with you
No lifе is you
And I want it night or day
I look forward to night or day, oh my

I'll never get bored of you
Or the things that you don
For everything that you do
Keeps me addicted to you

Life is never going to be easy
But if you're living it with me
We're going to live it up night or day
Well I want to live a life with you
No life is you
And I want it night or day
I look forward to every day, oh my
I look forward to every night
Sometimes we'll be living it broke-style - oh my
Sometimes living it higher

Life is never going to be easy
But if you're living it with me
We're going to live it up night or day
Well I want to live a life with you
No life is you
And I want it night or day

Life is never going to be easy
But if you're living it with me
We're going to live it night or day
Well I want to live a life with you
No life is you
And I want it night or day
Night or day
Night or day
Night and day

Tell Me I Should Stay


It's the last time to feel our fingers
Combine in a tea leaf tangle
Which is mine?
No, it's your heartbeat
No, it's my heartbeat
Light me a bougie candle when I'm gone
And I will sing lover's songs
Well, hold me before I'm gone

Well this son of a tailor says he'll
Keep a stitch for every day he's gone
How long how long how long
Will this seam run on

What would you do?
What should I do?
What should we do?

Come on kiss me now
Kiss me while I'm still here
Come on hold me kiss me
Tell me I should stay here
Tell me I should stay here
Tell me I should stay here
Tell me I should stay

It's the last time to feel our fringes
Combine in a treetop tangle
Which is mine?
It's your heartbeat
No, it's my heartbeat
Heartbeat rising with the tune
I'm all out of tunes

Well this son of a tailor says he'll
Keep a stitch for every day he's gone
How long how long how long
Will this seam run on

What would you do
What should I do
What should we do

Come on, kiss me now
Kiss me while I'm still here
Come on, hold me kiss me
Tell me I should stay here
Tell me I should stay here
Tell me I should stay here
Tell me I should stay

Cats


(One, two, three, uh)

You love no one and everyone
At the same time
They can put a lead on you
But they'll never learn
They can never turn cat into dog

You've been keeping it tame for so long
Come on, let it go wild
You can't keep a creature like this
You've gotta get it untied
Just because the world can't see
Doesn't mean it's not living inside
Not living but waiting until
You're going to take it outside

Now take it outside
Get back on the outside
Take it outside
Get back on the outside

Well, the city shines in a mean, mean particular way tonight
Wet tarmac flicking the light back
Signs sinking in a deep dead pool
How good does the world out there feel?
I've been sick of living inside
Not living but waiting until
You're gonna take it outside

Now take it outside
Get back on the outside
Take it outside
Get back on the outside

We love everyone, we love no one
Oh no, but they'll never learn
They can try to put a lead on
Try to put a lead on
But they'll never turn a cat into dog
Try to put a lead on, try to put a lead on
But they'll never turn a cat into dog

Now take it outside
Get back on the outside (outside)
Take it outside
Get back on the outside
Back on the outside
Back on the outside

Black Eyelashes


As I walked through Κολωνάκι
And the scent of πορτοκάλι
Saw the snake of Αμπελάκη
In the trees of green φιστίκια
Black eyelashes wait for me

Black eyelashes come back
Dark memories retract
Black eyelashes
Drown the moon and flood the night with
Black eyelashes come back
Dark wings of bees attack
Black eyelashes
Char my heart of anthracite

When I got back to Αθήνα
Saw the night cats of Ομόνοια
As I walked down to Ψυρή
I turn a corner where your
Black eyelashes wait for me

Black eyelashes come back
Dark memories retract
Black eyelashes
Drown the moon and flood the night with
Black eyelashes come back
Dark wings of bees attack
Black eyelashes
Char my heart of anthracite

Δεν είσαι Έλληνας
Οχι δεν μιλάς
Γιατί? Γιατί δεν μιλάς?

Black eyelashes come back
Dark memories retract
Black eyelashes
Drown the moon and flood the night with
Black eyelashes come back
Dark wings of bees attack
Black eyelashes
Char my heart of anthracite

Bar Lonely


It's hard to get out
Hard to get out when it's so dark
It's hard to look out
It's uncertain but the curtain won't draw itself

Where can you go where no one knows your name
No one's glad that you came

Bar Lonely is so close
It's on the corner of the Golden Gai
You know the owner and he knows
Which shot is the usual for you
The memories he will remove from you
He'll be taking everything you can lose
By the end of the night, of the night, of the night

She has to be out
She has to be out until the end
She has to stay out
She's uncertain but the curtain might draw itself

Where can you go where no one knows your name
No one's glad that you came

Bar Lonely is so close
It's on the corner of the Golden Gai
You know the owner and he knows
Which shot is the usual for you
The memories he will remove from you
He'll be taking everything you can lose
By the end of the night, of the night, of the night

Night, Night
By the end of the night
Night, Night
By the end of the night
There'll never be an end to the night
Of the night
Of the night

It's hard to come home
It's hard to come home when it's so dark
Hard to come home
It's uncertain but the curtain fell when you were away
