This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
You are the latest contender
You are the one to remember
You are the villain who sends her
Light or dark, fantastic passion
I know that you will surrender
I know that you will surrender
I want this fantastic passion
We'll have fantastic passion
You can feel my lips undress your eyes
Undress your eyes, undress your eyes
Words of love and words so leisured
Words of poisoned darts of pleasure
Died, and so you died
You are the latest adventure
You're an emotion avenger
You are the devil that sells her
Light or dark, fantastic passion
I know that you will surrender
I know that you will surrender
I want this fantastic passion
We'll have fantastic passion
You can feel my lips undress your eyes
Undress your eyes, undress your eyes
Skin can feel my lips they tingle, tense anticipation
This one is an easy one, feel the word and melt upon it
Words of love and words so leisured
Words of poisoned darts of pleasure
Died and so you died
Ich heisse Superfantastisch
Ich trinke Schampus mit Lachsfisch
Ich heisse Superfantastisch
Ich heisse Superfantastisch
Ich trinke Schampus mit Lachsfisch
Ich heisse Superfantastisch
Ich heisse Superfantastisch
Ich trinke Schampus mit Lachsfisch
Ich heisse Superfantastisch
You are the one to remember

Undress your eyes, undress your eyes
Words of love and words so leisured
Words of poisoned darts of pleasure

You're an emotion avenger
You are the devil that sells her

I know that you will surrender
I know that you will surrender

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
I think this song is about French people because of the line "I know that you will surrender".
@Smurfy12 I'm assuming you're from the United States and you're offended that the French didn't join in the attack on Iraq still in 2010. Seriously, you should get over that. The French supported the United States in the Revolutionary War. The United States did not support either side during the French Revolution. The United States sat on the sidelines for years when Hitler overran France at the beginning of World War II. In the struggle for the existence of the country that assisted us in birthing our nation, we sat on the sidelines! And yet, you take offense that France didn't join us in a war of choice based on a lie! That's pathetic. Truly.
Great song, I love songs like this... It seems so romantic in a way..
Franz Ferdiand is now one my favorite band...there cd is awesome...
The more I read the lyrics, the more this song sounds like it's about a hookup with a prostitute, but maybe that's just the way my mind works.
I like the last few lyrics in German, it's so catchy. It means "I am called superfantastic, I drink champers and salmon".
Actually, its champagne and salmon
actually, its REALLY 'my name is super fantastic, I drink champaigne WITH salmon'.
mit is with ich heisse is technically 'i am named' but its understood as 'my name is'
hmm. i dont really think this is a "romantic" song in the normal sence. i think its about the gullibility of women and how he can easily sleep with any one of them just by saying a few sweet nothings.
but none the less, its a great song. my fav on the CD infact. and thats hard to say because the whole CD is awesome. it blew me away when i first heard it. i suggest that all who havent already purchased it should go and do so to support the band!
Franz Ferdinand came alive!! :) I prefer to avoid cliches, so... yeah... you know what i'm going to say. This song is good, and its amazing how they did the actual video... Mouth Vision
Great song.
