Take Me Out!

Went with a ex-army friend to watch the rocking Scottish band, Franz Ferdinard. Had dinner at No Signboard before adjourning to the Indoor Stadium to enjoy the music. It was a great concert and the band was of great entertainment value (even though we hardly understood the Scottish accent). Some of their great songs such as Take Me Out, The Darkness of Matinee, Do you want to and Walk away. The band even invited the crowd to their hotel for a party after the concert. Dun think the hotel management would be pleased. Was rather disappointed that there was totally no encore after the concert but overall it was a well spent 70 bucks!

I attached my favourite Franz Ferdinard song "Walk Away" lyrics:

I swapped my innocence for pride

Crushed the end within my stride
Said I'm strong now I know that I'm a leaver
I love the sound of you walking away, you walking away
Mascara bleeds a black in tear, oh
And I am cold, yes, I'm cold
But not as cold as you are
I love the sound of you walking away, you walking away
I love the sound of you walking away, walking away, hey hey

Why don't you walk away?
Why don't you walk away?

Why don't you walk away?
No buildings will fall down
Don't you walk away
No quake will split the ground
Won't you walk away
The sun won't swallow the sky
Won't you walk away?
Statues will not cry

Don't you walk away
Why don't you walk away?
Why don't you walk away?
Why don't you walk away?
Hey

I cannot turn to see those eyes
As apologies may rise
I must be strong and stay an unbeliever
And love the sound of you walking away, you walking away
Mascara bleeds into my eye, oh
And I'm not cold, I am old
At least as old as you are

And as you walk away
Oh, as you walk away

Oh, as you walk away
My headstone crumbles down
As you walk away
The Hollywood winds will howl
As you walk away
The Kremlin's falling
As you walk away
Radio Four is static

As you walk away
Oh, as you walk away
Oh, as you walk away
Oh, as you walk away
Hey

The stab of stiletto
On a silent night
Stalin smiles and Hitler laughs
Churchill claps Mao Tse Tung on the back

Franz Ferdinand ROCKS! I really like this band, and have sent the CD to all my friends as presents.

How great that you got to see them.
