| Franz Ferdinand – Right Action Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
Just saw a video on Youtube about this song and Alex Kaprano said that the song was inspired by a trip to a flea market where he stumbled upon a postcard with a short, cryptic phrase "come home practically all is nearly forgotton", and that the postcard was sent in the 80s to the director Karel Reisz. They could not find who sent it though but thought it was good lyric . Another thing about Karel Reisz is that he directed one of Alex's favourite movie "Saturday Night and Sunday Morning", hence the same phrase appearing in the lyrics. And the address "11 South Court Gardens" is actually the address the postcard was sent to and Karel Reisz used to live. And the line "Sometimes wish you were here, weather permitting" is actually written in the postcard-writing mindset, and since the British people always talked about the "stupid weather" on their postcard and in their conversations, they thought it would be rather fitting to put it in the lyrics. Oh and here is the link of the video. Right after the first song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0TReP6_YH6I&list=PL2PGtb8wuNWVrpFhQ5TJ4c04fILVQ_aUV |
