Lyric discussion by Thestrawberry 

Cover art for Right Action lyrics by Franz Ferdinand

Once I was singing in my cathedral choir. And one part of a CofE service is that there’s a prayer at the start that says ‘we have sinned in thought, and word, and deed’. Thought, word, and deed. Thoughts, words, action. Coincidence? I think not! Especially considering how much Alex uses religious imagery- think The Fallen, Evil and a Heathen, Auf Asche… and it’s a prayer for forgiveness too! ‘Come home, practically all is nearly forgiven’!

That sad, I’ve never heard it mentioned by Alex! So it could really just be a coincidence. But I think it could be some very subtle religious imagery!
