Franz Ferdinand Lyrics

"Jacqueline" lyrics



Jacqueline was seventeen
Working on a desk
When Ivor peered above her spectacle
Forgot that he had wrecked a girl
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!
Ah 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

It's always better on holiday
So much better on holiday
