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
should I give you a call
what should I say?
maybe you still feel the same…

I typed your number
into my calculator  read more ...

I want to live alone
because the greatest love
is always ruined by the bickering
the argument of living
so I want to live alone
I could be happy on my own

live the rest of my life
with the vaguest of feeling

wherever you are
whoever is there
you know that I’ll be here
wishing I could be there

so I’m going to live alone  read more ...

TONIGHT 是這麼開始的...
Well I’m bored, I’m bored, come on let’s get high…

I sit and hear sentimental footsteps, then a voice say “hi, so?
so what you got? what you got this time? come on, let’s get high
come on lexxo what you got next-o? walking twenty five miles-o?
Well I’m bored, I’m bored, come on let’s get high…”  read more ...

盼望了四年，Franz Ferdinand 終於出新專輯！
整張專輯適合跳舞，最後兩首 "Dream Again" 與 "Katherine Kiss Me" 漸漸走回恬靜浪漫的回憶裡。

昨晚是個奇妙，又有點奇怪的一晚，在聽完不甚滿意的古典音樂會，帶著些許失落與不盡興，趕赴 Franz Ferdinand 的演唱會，到時剛剛好開始。

在超 high 的群眾裡，不知怎的無法好好融入，心裡還掛記著剛剛的失意，那股失意是在過高的期待與過多為之的割捨下產生的，狠狠地將我摔在失望上。
因此總是挑剔著為什麼唱不好，為什麼高潮上不去，為什麼盡是音量的起跌呢？
還有為什麼旁邊那個女的能這麼 high 這麼融入，而我卻漸漸覺得耳朵開始痛，並幾近深刻地在腦海幻想，台上的中年男子被口水嗆到？  read more ...

You mean that much to me
And it's hard to show
Gets hectic inside of me
When you go
Can I confess these things
To you
Well I don't know
Embedded in my chest
And it
Hurts to hold

I couldn't spill my heart
My eyes gleam looking in from the dark
I walk out in stormy weather
Hold my words, keep us together
Steady walking but bound to trip  read more ...

這張專輯剛買時，不小心按到最後一首，從此愛上它。不管聽到第幾遍，不管在什麼情境時空下，都會再次愛上。

Counting all different ideas drifting away
Past and present, they don't matter, now the future's sorted out
Watch, you're moving in elliptical pattern
Think it's not what you say, what you say is way too complicated
For a minute thought I couldn't tell how to fall out

It's 20 seconds 'til the last call, going "hey hey hey hey hey hey"  read more ...

You see this guy, this guy's in love with you
Yes I'm in love who looks at you the way I do
When you smile I can tell it know each other very well

How can I show you I'm glad I got to know you 'cause
I've heard some talk they say you think I'm fine
This guy's in love and what I'd do to make you mine
Tell me now is it so don't let me be the last to know  read more ...

I don't have to leave anymore
What I have is right here
Spend my nights and days before
Searching the world for what's right here

Underneath and unexplored
Islands and cities I have looked
Here I saw
Something I couldn't over look

I am yours now
So now I don't ever have to leave
I've been found out
So now I'll never explore

See what I've done  read more ...

(Hey hey hey hey... hey hey hey hey...)

Hold my head up, right foot back
Take my hands down, shake my back
Pull my strings and cut my rope
Rattle my frame and shatter my ghost
And if I can't get back in line
They're gonna break me down
Till the broad daylight comes through

Breathe out, come alive
Give me a reason to feel

Take my eyes and paint my bones  read more ...

Take a picture, what's inside?
Ghost image in my mind
Neural pattern like a spider
Capillary to the centre

Hold still and press the button
Looking through a glass onion
Following the X-ray eye
From the cortex to medulla

Analyze EKG
Can you see a memory?
Register all my fear
On a flowchart disappear

Leave my head demagnetized
Tell me where the trauma lies  read more ...

Quand on est mort, c'est qu'on est mort
Quand on ne rit plus, c'est qu'on ne vit plus
Quand j'aurai coupé la ficelle
Mettez-moi dans une poubelle

Laissez-moi faisander un mois
Et de là jetez-moi au chat
Qu'il refuse ma rate et mon foie
Mais choisissez l'heure pour qu'il me mange le coeur

Que je reste encore avec vous
Sur vos épaules et vos genoux  read more ...

You could have it all
You could pawn it off
You could learn to crawl
Where you used to walk

And I... I'm only burning vanities

You could tell a tale
You could sell it off
You could find a grail
Made of cinder block

And I... I'm only burning vanities

I collect many things
And keep them all close to me
To the ceiling from the floor
I'm tripping on them constantly

Pixelated faces play
On the blown out TV screen
Footage from a camera,
These days I'm fast-forwarding

I see a pattern start to form
Over time it's surfacing
Like a face I recognize
It never says anything

I add up all these moments
In a long narrow ledger  read more ...

Think I'd like to climb down in a hole
down in the bottom of the world below
twist myself back out of sight
looking glass says have a look inside

drink a little bottle and I disappear
smaller I grow, smaller all my fears
I can fit inside the heard of anywhere
looking glass blues and I don't care

time ticks backwards and the day is null
borrowing dreams from a buying ground  read more ...

She's sliding, she's sliding down to the dregs of the world
She's fighting, she's fighting the urge to make sand out of pearls

Heaven can wait
and hell's too far to go
Somewhere between
what you need and what you know
And they're trying to drive that escalator into the ground

She's hiding, she's hiding on a battleship of baggage and bones  read more ...
