Cover art for Walk Away lyrics by Franz Ferdinand

To the Americans that sugested that a BRITISH band would want you write about the twin towers, your arogant and illinformed, please get a clue.

Franz Ferdinand are not American, there fore should'nt be refered to as US ("... the title 'walk away' is obviously about us leaving Iraq ...") However i do see where your coming from, ohh yes, seeing as Americans are so perfect Franz Ferdinand MUST be American because they produce good music, it would'nt be on for someone of a difffrent nationality to be supeior.

The song is about a relationship, not 9/11, maybe im giving an incorrect opinion but as a Brtish person i can say they we dont care about the happeneings of america 4 years ago, let elone have enough feeling to write a song about it.

Get a clue.

I think you insult all british people when you say they dont care about 9 11. WE certainly do, just because you are not only ignorant but also too stupid to realise that 9.11 has also impacted on us brits in a big way.

Dont be such a fool.

And those guys above were no way impying that franz ferdinand were american so i dont know where you get that idea from.

Dont open your mouth, youre a bad advert for british people. Most of us are nice, honest.

Actually Franz Ferdinand is Scottish. And no, It's not about 9/11. If you listen to the themes of other Franz Ferdinand songs, you hear a recurring style and theme. Relationships, love, etc. Not to insult Franz Ferdinand, I love their music, but I doubt they would write such a well masked political song. They may be named after the guy who caused WWI, but I doubt they would write something about 9/11. Franz Ferdinand is brilliant.
