better in hoboken

Franz Ferdinand

One, two, three, four

It s always better on holiday, so much better on holiday
That s why we only work when we need the money
It s always better on holiday, so much better on holiday
That s why we only work when we need the money

Jacqueline was seventeen, working on a desk
When I, Ivor peered above her spectacle
forgot that he had wrecked a girl
Well, sometime these eyes forget the face
they re peering from
When the face they peer upon
Well, you know that face as I do
and how in the return of the gaze
She can return you the face that you are staring from

It s always better on holiday, so much better on holiday
That s why we only work when we need the money
It s always better on holiday, so much better on holiday
That s why we only work when we need the money

Gregor was down again, said, Come on, kick me again
Said, I m so drunk, I don t mind if you kill me
Come on, you gutless
Yeah, I m alive, oh, I m alive
Oh, I m alive and how I know it
Oh, but for chips and for freedom, I could die

It s always better on holiday, so much better on holiday
That s why we only work when we need the money
It s always better on holiday, so much better on holiday
That s why we only work when we need the money
