Franz Ferdinand - Come On Home
Their debut album is a classic of teenage romance and angst, up there with 'Mellon Collie' in that regard. Listening to this sort of album, esp. right now, just takes me to a place of jaded comfort. Where everything is melodrama and nothing is right, yet a wistful sense of happiness is felt. The world we know is falling apart and that's alright.
This song, Come On Home, in particular is getting me right now.
"Although my lover lives in a place that I can't live
I kind of find I like a life this lonely
It rips and pierces me in places I can't see
I love the rip of nerves, the rip that wakes me
So I'm dissatisfied, I love dissatisfied
I love to feel there's always more that I need
So come on home
You're where you want to be, I'm where I want to be
Caught up chasing everything I've ever wanted
I replace you easily, replace pathetically
I flirt with any flighty thing that falls my way
But how I needed you, when I needed you
Let's not forget we are so strong, so bloody strong
Come on home
Blue light falls upon your perfect skin
Falls, and you draw back again
Falls, and this is how I fell
And I can not forget this
And I can not forget this
Come on home
So come on home
But don't forget to leave"
