Love And Destroy

This song is about a book called "Master and Margarita" by the Russian author Bulgakov. It's based on the chapter where Margarita flies over Moscow wreaking revenge on the enemies of her lover on her way to the ball of the dead.

Totally awesome song. Too bad it didn't make the cut for the album.

I love how these guys can take something like a book, or an assassination (All for you, Sophia) and make it catchy.

Have read The Master and Margarita and it is EXCELLENT!!

i will check out the book, since i like the russian writers. absofukkenlutely love the song

I think this should have been on the album - in my opinion it's better than tell her tonight

i think you forgot this verse :

I'm so free as I'm naked Shining silver under the moon I'm high above the Muscovites' sky I'm gonna rip, rip, I'll never sleep I'm going to meet you at midnight (x2) You see, I'll forget about living alone As I learn how to live and to die

Thanks for your explanation!

This is one of my fave. FF songs. i love all of their b-sides and i'm surprissed they haven't made an album, perhaps they will be on an upcoming album.

I think it's better than Tell Her Tonight too. They've got some really great b-sides that deserve to be on an album. I realllly want to read The Master and Margarita, partly because I read The Stranger and that helped me understand the Interpol song, Evil a lot better.

This is one of the most bad-ass song's ever!!! Plus, it's my favorite Franz song. I need to get that book...

I've been listening to this song for years, but I only twigged today as I was reading The Master and Margarita; the phrase "Muscovite sky" came up and I thought of this song. Brilliant book, great song.

For anyone who hasn't read Bulgakov's masterpiece, it's about a girl called Margarita who agrees to act as the hostess at Satan's ball when in exchange for the return of her missing lover. On her way to meet Satan, she takes a moonlight broomstick ride over Moscow.
