Biography

Franz Ferdinand are a band formed in Glasgow in 2002. The name of the band was originally inspired by a racehorse called Archduke Ferdinand. After seeing the horse win the Northumberland Plate in 2001, the band began to discuss Archduke Franz Ferdinand and thought it would be a good band name because of the alliteration of the name and the implications of the Archduke's death (his assassination was a significant factor in the lead up to World War I).

LYRICS

Show me the body
These pictures will shock you
Love is a drag we don't need anymore
We don't need to score
Show me the body
404
Gateway not found
My wife is such a fine
Show me the body
Show me the body now

We're starring in the movies of white lies
We're starring in the movies of white lies

And the Academy Award for good times goes to you
Yeah, the Academy Award for good times goes to you
There's a camera held in every hand
The glamour of applause in every mind
But the Academy Award for good times goes to you

Show me the body, Hikikomori
Through liquid crystal we look at the world
From our parents' homes
Show me the body
The secret of longevity is to stay away from them
Show me the body
Show me the body now

We're starring in the movies of our lives
We're starring in the movies of white lies

And the Academy Award for good times goes to you
Yeah, the Academy Award for good times goes to you
There's a camera held in every hand
The clapper of applause in every mind
But the Academy Award for good times goes to you

Show me the body
You never realise how much 8 pints are till you see them on the ground
They cover so much ground
Locked up predator
Hunter gatherer
Once rare commodity
Now recently found Salt, sugar and fat
There's heavy traffic
Show me the body now

We're starring in the movies of white lies
Starring in the movies of our lives

And the Academy Award for good times goes to you
Yeah, the Academy Award for good times goes to you
There's a camera held in every hand
The clapper of applause in every mind
But the Academy Award for good times - goes to you(huhuhu) - you(huhuhu)
