While I sit in here, a sentimental footsteps
Then a voice say Âhi, so ?
So what you gotta what you gotta this time.
C'mon let's get high
C'mon lexxo, you got next-o?
Walk 25 miles-o?
Well I'm bored
I'm bored.
C'mon let's get high.
C'mon let's get high.
C'mon let's get high.
High.
I've found a new way
I've found a new way.
C'mon don't amuse me;
I don't need your sympathy.
Lalalalala, Ulysses
I've find a new way
I've find a new way, baby.
Am I not Ulysses, Am I not Ulysses
No, but you are now, boy.
So sinister, so sinister,
Last night was wild.
What's a matter there, feeling kind of anxious?
Feeling that hot blood, grew cold.
Yeah everyone, everybody knows it.
Yeah everyone, everybody know it.
Everybody knows I...
Lalalalala Ulysses
I'll find a new way.
I'll find a new way, baby.
Lalalalala Ulysses
I've find a new way.
I've find a new way, baby.
Oh... Oh, then suddenly you know
You're never going home
You're never (six times)
You're never going home.
Not Ulysses, baby.
No, lalalala oohoo
You're not Ulysses, oohoo
Lalalala, oohoo...

Send Him Away
I can't seem to feel the envy I should feel
Or maybe
I don't need the sour side of love
Of love
I don't care his breath is in your hair
I don't care his skin is still between
The still-warm fold of your sheets
Send him away
I don't need to claim or own you
Or maybe I would like to
But I need whatever side of love
Is there
I don't care his breath is in your hair
I don't care his skin is still between
The still-warm fold of your sheets
From the fold of your sheets
Send him away
Oh, can't you let me stay tonight?
Oh, can't you let me stay tonight?
Oh, can't you let me stay tonight?
Can't you let me stay tonight?
Or maybe
I don't need the sour side of love
Of love
I don't care his breath is in your hair
I don't care his skin is still between
The still-warm fold of your sheets
Send him away
I don't need to claim or own you
Or maybe I would like to
But I need whatever side of love
Is there
I don't care his breath is in your hair
I don't care his skin is still between
The still-warm fold of your sheets
From the fold of your sheets
Send him away
Oh, can't you let me stay tonight?
Oh, can't you let me stay tonight?
Oh, can't you let me stay tonight?
Can't you let me stay tonight?

Twilight Omens
I wrote your name upon the back of my hand
Slept upon it then I woke up with it
Backwards on my face
Reading forwards from my mirror
To my heart
Twilight omens in my life
Then I hear your name
Hear the radio sing your name, baby
Should I give you a call
What should I say:
Maybe you still feel the sameÂ
I typed your number into my calculator
Where it spelled a dirty word
When you turned it upside down
You could turn my dirty world
The bright way round
Twilight omens in my life
Then I hear your name
Hear the radio sing your name
Should I give you a call
What could I say?
Oh, maybe I still feel the sameÂ
Twilight omens in my life
I Keep hearing your name
I hear the radio sing your name
Slept upon it then I woke up with it
Backwards on my face
Reading forwards from my mirror
To my heart
Twilight omens in my life
Then I hear your name
Hear the radio sing your name, baby
Should I give you a call
What should I say:
Maybe you still feel the sameÂ
I typed your number into my calculator
Where it spelled a dirty word
When you turned it upside down
You could turn my dirty world
The bright way round
Twilight omens in my life
Then I hear your name
Hear the radio sing your name

Bite Hard
You don't know
I sing these songs,
About you,
You don't know the Pseudonyms,
I assume
You don't know the Pseudonyms,
I assume,
For you.
Are you happier now?
That the Gods are dying.
Or do you dream of
Heston whit omniscient beard?
You should be happier now,
with no one to pray to.
Or would you love to break your knees from begging and praying?
Bite Hard.
It's a broken smile,
That's breaking their hearts and breaking their minds.
Bite Hard.
It's 5.05, your engine's alive and
We ride together
Bite hard
I may be lonelier now but I'm happy alone- honest.
It ain't lonely alone
What would we talk about anyway?
No I never resort to kissing your photo,
Honest,
I just had to see,
How the chemicals taste there honey.
Bite Hard.
It's a broken smile,
That's breaking their hearts and breaking their minds.
Bite Hard.
It's 5.05, your engine's alive and
We ride together
We die together
Bite hard
I never
No I never
I just had to
I just had to see now honey
Bite hard
It's a broken smile
That's breaking their hearts
And breaking their mind
It's 5.05, your engine's alive and
We ride together
We die together
Bite hard
We ride together
We die together
I sing these songs,
About you,
You don't know the Pseudonyms,

Live Alone
I wanna live alone
Because the greatest love is always ruined by the bickering
The argument of living
I wanna live alone
I could be happy on my own
Rest of my life
With the vaguest of feeling
I...
Wherever you are
Whoever is there
You'll know that I'll be here
I'll be here
Wishing I could be there
Wherever you are
Whoever is there
You'll know that I'll be here
I'll be here
Wishing I could be there
So I'm gonna live alone
I'm not saying that our love is the greatest
But I'm in love with you
Wanna stay in love with you
So I'm gonna live alone
Yeah, I'll be happy on my own
For the rest of a life
With the vaguest of feeling

Wherever you are
Whoever is there
You'll know that I'll be here
I'll be here
Wishing I could be there
New York City
When I get in taxi
I said, "man" to driver
He said, "man,"
"Oh, I can imagine having drink with that guy,"

Lucid Dreams
Sweep slides on my stereo
Short wave ride my rodeo
Became from that of Savalon
But I'm flyin' to Istanbul
Oh, so why don't you meet me there?
There is no nation of you, there is no nation of me
Our only nation lives in lucid dreams
Lucid dreams, I'm livin' in lucid dreams
I'm livin' on shortwave streams tonight
Well, I'll dial Alexandria
If you dial into Ithaca
South Fisher, German bite
I skate on the world tonight
Oh, so why don't you come along?
There is no nation of you, there is no nation of me
Our only nation lives in lucid dreams
Lucid dreams, I'm livin' in lucid dreams
I'm livin' on shortwave streams tonight
I'm gonna give my aimless love
My angry heart, my desire
I woke with wings from lucid dreams
I knew the reason I felt hollow
Was it I may never know
If there is some great truth or not
There is no nation of you, there is no nation of me
Our only nation lives in lucid dreams
Lucid dreams, I'm livin' in lucid dreams
I'm livin' on shortwave streams tonight
Lucid dreams, I'm livin' on lucid dreams
Now there is just plain mystery
Short wave ride my rodeo
Became from that of Savalon
But I'm flyin' to Istanbul
Oh, so why don't you meet me there?
There is no nation of you, there is no nation of me

Dream Again
Don't be afraid if you hear voices
Or feel the sweet air spoken upon you
Sometimes the sound of a thousand whispering words
Of hope will reassure
Show me the future
Will see us joined together
If the oceans fled or the mountains sigh
Then I will keep on dreaming
I live to dream again
I live to dream again
I live to dream again
I live to dream again
Don't be afraid if you're descending the deepest despair
Without a handrail to guide you
Sometimes the sound of a thousand whispering words
Can confuse
But when you're sleeping
They shift and slide together
Bring meaning to the canyon's cry
Oh, I...I keep on dreaming
I live to dream again
I live to dream again
I live to dream again
I live to dream again
Sometimes the sound of a thousand whispers
Are where you live a little fear
But feel the future
Well I feel us dream together
I feel no fear, I feel no fire
Oh, I...I keep on dreaming
I live to dream again
I live to dream again
I live to dream again
I live to dream again
I live to dream again
I live to dream again
I live to dream
Or feel the sweet air spoken upon you
Sometimes the sound of a thousand whispering words
Of hope will reassure
Show me the future
Will see us joined together
If the oceans fled or the mountains sigh
Then I will keep on dreaming
I live to dream again
I live to dream again
I live to dream again
I live to dream again
Don't be afraid if you're descending the deepest despair
Without a handrail to guide you
Sometimes the sound of a thousand whispering words
Can confuse
But when you're sleeping
They shift and slide together
Bring meaning to the canyon's cry
Oh, I...I keep on dreaming
I live to dream again
I live to dream again
I live to dream again
I live to dream again
Sometimes the sound of a thousand whispers
Are where you live a little fear
But feel the future
Well I feel us dream together
I feel no fear, I feel no fire
Oh, I...I keep on dreaming
I live to dream again
I live to dream again
I live to dream again
I live to dream again
I live to dream again
I live to dream again
I live to dream

Katherine Kiss Me
Katherine, kiss me
Slip your little lips
Will split me
Split me away
Your eye won't hit me
Yes, I love you, I mean it
I'd love to get to know you
Sometimes I say the stupid things I think
I mean I
Sometimes I think the stupidest things
Mmmmmm
And do you ever wonder
How the boy feels
Katherine, kiss me
Flick your cigarette, then kiss me
Flick your eyes at mine so briefly
Your leather jacket lies
In sticky pools of Cider Blackberry
You glance and ricochet
From every alpha male behind me
Eyes
Like bubbles on the washing machine
Mmmmm
I wonder
How the boy feels
Katherine , kiss me
In the alleyway
By ....
Jacket in the sodium light
Yes, I love you, I mean I
Need to love
And though your opened eyes stay bored
Upon the overflowing pipes above me
Tonight
I don't mind
Because I never wonder
How the girl feels
Slip your little lips
Will split me
Split me away
Your eye won't hit me
Yes, I love you, I mean it
I'd love to get to know you
Sometimes I say the stupid things I think
I mean I
Sometimes I think the stupidest things
Mmmmmm
And do you ever wonder
How the boy feels
Katherine, kiss me
Flick your cigarette, then kiss me
Flick your eyes at mine so briefly
Your leather jacket lies
In sticky pools of Cider Blackberry
You glance and ricochet
From every alpha male behind me
Eyes

Tonight: Franz Ferdinand (also known as Tonight) is the third studio album by Scottish indie rock band Franz Ferdinand, released on 26 January 2009 through the Domino Recording Company. In contrast to their speedily-recorded second studio album, You Could Have It So Much Better (2005), the band chose to take some time off before recording a new album. Writing sessions began in early 2007 and recording took place in 2008 at the town hall of Govan, Scotland, and producer Dan Carey's studio in South London.
Tonight is a concept album loosely based around a night of partying and the morning effects after. The album has more of a dance-oriented sound, featuring dance-punk, new wave, and electropop throughout, marking a departure from the band's post-punk sound, which was prominently featured on their past two albums. They also took inspiration from dub music and the music of Jamaica and Africa while recording. The cover art was inspired by 1940s and 50s crime scene photographs, particularly ones taken by New York City-based photographer Weegee.
Tonight received generally favourable reviews from music critics and had a positive commercial performance, peaking at number two on the UK Albums Chart, number nine on the US Billboard 200, and charting in the top ten in several other countries. Five official singles were released to promote the album: "Ulysses", "No You Girls", "Can't Stop Feeling", "What She Came For", and "Live Alone". A remix album composed of dub versions of most tracks from Tonight, titled Blood, was released on 18 April 2009.
