A woeful realisation

Much as I think the Franz Ferdinand single is pretty poptastic stuff my enjoyment of it was suddenly dented last night when I realised something about that "knew him"/"blew him" bit.

Basically, it's a Placebo lyric, innit?

Hahahaha, you are so right.

'Dancing like a beautiful dance wh0re' never gave you pause, but you're objecting to this one?

i thought it was a "beautiful dancefloor" but i realise now this is a little silly...

It's that too! "Beautiful boys on a beautiful dancefloor, Michael you're dancing like a beautiful dance wh0re."

i don't know these young people today with their modern lyrics, it's not like the manics, you could hear every word with them, i like the one that goes "garden string for sale"

I JUDGE THAT...

Placebo lyrics are the best lyrics. (sound of Andrew's already-slim chances of playing at Poptimism finally vanishing)
