Franz Ferdinand — What You Meant

[Verse 1] As I took step number four Into the close of your tenement You cast your darkened eyes so low Said we're cold as the step cement [Chorus] But I just don't know Oh, what you meant What you meant [Verse 2] So Alec, you may want a pill We are so cruel, and to communicate Without the red stuff being spilled We must MDMA our sentiment [Chorus] Oh, but I just don't know Oh, what you meant What you meant What you meant [Verse 3] If we were feckless, we'd be fine Sucking hard on our innocence But we've been bright in our decline Been left as blackened filament [Chorus] But I just don't know, oh Oh, I don't know No, I don't know No, I don't know (What did you mean?) No, I don't know (What did you mean?) No, I don't know (What did you mean?) No, I don't know [Post-Chorus] I've got to get away from I've got to get away from you [Verse 4] But I feel blood inside the vein I feel life inside the ligament I feel alive, yeah, just the same Same vigour and the same intent [Chorus] Oh, but I just don't know Oh, if that's what you meant
