Walk away lyrics Franz Ferdinand

 1.492

Walk away


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
Mascara bleeds a blackened tear
And I am cold
Yes I'm cold
But not as cold as you are
I love the sound of you walking away

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

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
Mascara bleeds into my eye
Oh
And I'm not cold
I am old
At least as old as you are
La la la la la la-la la la la la la la la
La-la la, la la-la-la la-la la-la-la-la, la
As you walk away

And as you walk away
My headstone crumbles down
As you walk away
The Hollywood wind's a howl
As you walk away
The Kremlin's falling
As you walk away
Radio 4 is static
As you walk away

Hey,hmm

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

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Biografia

Franz Ferdinand è un gruppo musicale scozzese formatosi a Glasgow nel 2002. Il loro sound, definito indie rock con influenze post-punk e art rock, ha conquistato rapidamente l'attenzione della critica e del pubblico internazionale. Il nome del gruppo deriva dall'arciduca Francesco Ferdinando d'Austria, la cui ascesa al potere scatenò la Prima Guerra Mondiale. 2004 vide la pubblicazione del loro album di debutto omonimo, che ottenne un enorme successo grazie a brani come "Take Me Out" e "The Dark of the Matinee". Il secondo album, "You Could Have It So Much Better", uscito nel 2005, consolidò il loro status di band di culto. Franz Ferdinand è noto per le performance energiche dal vivo e per l'abilità compositiva di Alex Kapranos, il frontman del gruppo. Tra i brani più rappresentativi si ricordano anche "Do You Want To" e "Stand On The Horizon".
