Dark Of The Matinee Tab

by Franz Ferdinand


                 
You take your white finger
                                           
Slide the nail under 
                           
the top and bottom buttons of
   
my blazer

Relax the fraying wool, slacken ties
                                               
And I'm not to look at you in the shoe, but the eyes

Find the eyes

 
   
So find me and follow me through corridors, refectories and

files you must follow, leave this academic factory you will

find me in the matinee, the dark of the matinee. it's
                                                 
better in the matinee, the dark of the matinee is mine
               
yes its mi----ine


                 
I time every journey, to bump into you, accidentally I
                    
 charm you and tell you   of the boys i hate
                      

all the girls i hate, all the words i hate
                            

all the clothes i hate, how I'll never be anything I hate
                            

You smile, mention something that you like,
                 

how you'd have a happy life
                
if you did the things you like.



  
So find me and follow me through corridors, refectories and

files you must follow, leave this academic factory you will

find me in the matinee, the dark of the matinee. it's
                                                 
better in the matinee, the dark of the matinee is mine
            
yes its mi----ine



                  
 So I'm on BBC2 now, telling Terry Wogan how I made it
                  
And what I made is unclear now
 
But his deference is and his laughter is
                          
 My words and smile are so easy now
                             
Yes, it's easy now, yes, it's easy now


  
So find me and follow me through corridors, refectories and

files you must follow, leave this academic factory you will

find me in the matinee, the dark of the matinee. it's
                                                 
better in the matinee, the dark of the matinee 

  
Well find me and follow me through corridors, refectories and

files you must follow, leave this academic factory you will

find me in the matinee, the dark of the matinee. it's
                                                 
better in the matinee, the dark of the matinee is mine
                
yes it's mi----ine
