I need a longer version of that sick intro

[inspector]

My history teacher actually played this to introduce WW1

[Joseph-ljsp]

The transition between the intro and main part of the song is QUALITY

[вдвдВдсттсрс]

Franz Ferdinand: take me out!
Gavrilo Pricip: okay

[ivorttrill]

Damn I would love a whole song of the intros style and riff .

[ChubbiestThread]

I literally clicked on this song by chance and was like "huh, sounds kinda neat" and then it got to 0:56 and I suddenly went "-hANG ON WAIT IT'S THAT FUCKING SONG! THE FUCKING ONE I NEVER KNEW THE NAME TO!" and basically, I'm happy now.

Intended lyrics: about a man who is too nervous to ask a girl out
The Internet: *a documentary about a dead Austrian prince*

[kaewagner]

“like on a date or with a shotgun?”

“surprise me”

[henrikfitch]

When you just survived multiple assassination attempts and your car stops right next to a suspicious Serb.

[irishempire]

This song is great, i hope no one actually decides to take Franz out.

[oisind]

I don't really understand people that say the intro is the only good part, this song is a fucking banger through out. It has a fantastic lead in and then just builds up momentum and keeps up the great music

[FriedRice]

How do ppl only like the beginning??? The whole song is amazing, it sounds like a mix of a 90s and 70s song. Masterpiece 👌

The last time I've seen so many WWI memes, a loaf of bread used to cost 2 billion Deutsche Marks

Man, this song always makes me happy. I'd always gotten my cousin's old hand me down video games as a kid, their Game Boys, their SNES, their N64. Then one day in 4th grade my parents surprised me by buying me my own Gamecube and the first game I played on it was NHL 2005. This was the song on the menu when I first turned the game on and any time I hear this song, I just remember how excited and... frankly in awe I was at having my own (at the time) modern game console.

*Uber driver takes wrong street*
Music intensifies
*looks right, sees sandwich shop*

[JustSomeDude]

Dude, I love this song!
Seeing it live was a great memory.
I still play it all the time.

[ozzeey]

this is one of the songs i always heard as a kid and going back and listening to it, this songs a goddamn banger

[emilyke]

This song had me head banging, dancing and screaming along while showering. I LOVE this.

history teacher:OK class you may listen to music while we test but no cheating

Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
So if you're lonely, you know I'm here waiting for you
I'm just a crosshair, I'm just a shot away from you
And if you leave here, you leave me broken, shattered I lie
I'm just a crosshair, I'm just a shot, then we can die

[Hook]
I know I won't be leaving here with you

[Chorus]
I say, don't you know? You say you don't know
I say: take me out
I say, you don't show, don't move, time is slow
I say: take me out
Well, I say, you don't know, you say you don't know
I say: take me out
If I move, this could die, if eyes move, this could die
I want you to take me out

[Hook]
I know I won't be leaving here (with you)
I know I won't be leaving here (with you)
I know I won't be leaving here (with you)
I know I won't be leaving here with you

[Chorus]
I say, don't you know? You say you don't know
I say: take me out
If I wane, this could die, I wait this, could die
I want you to take me out
If I move, this could die, eyes move, this can die
Come on, take me out

[Hook]
I know I won't be leaving here (with you)
I know I won't be leaving here (with you)
I know I won't be leaving here (with you)
I know I won't be leaving here with you
