The lines "Bang bang, the first six are for you
Bang bang, the seventh is for me " isn't about the gun shots. I looked up eyewitness testamony of Franz Ferdinand's death and only two shots were fired. The first bullet hit Sophia and the second hit the Franz. I think the lines are refering to the fact that shortly after being shot he said "Its nothings" seven times, six times for his wife's comfort and one for his own. It is also recorded that he said "Sophia, Sophia, do not die. Live for our children." Sophia was with child when she was killed. It's such a sad yet weirdly romantic story. Great song.
