Song lyrics
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, fight the eyes

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 mine

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
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 it's mine

So I'm on BBC2 now, telling Terry Wogan how I made it
And what I made is unclear, 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 is mine
Yes it's mine

Damn, I've never seen the clip but knowing their previous ones I'm sure its pretty swanky. How proud would the Arch Duke Franz Ferdinand be, having such an awesome band naming themselves after him. Yay to Franz Ferdinand!

Loved this song the second I heard it. I bought the cd the week it came out. I was looking for "muse", and found this instead. Glad I did.

Why did Franz shorten the name to Matinee anyway? Well it sounds better.
Anyhow the song is a masterpiece. I just love the way it sounded the first time I heard it, like it's something I've known all my life.. the familiarity of it.. yet it's just such a great, fresh song.

This song is soo much better than 'Take me out' but still not as great as 'Auf achse' ^_^

Still it fucking rocks!!!

I'd undo the buttons on Alex's blazer any day >.> <.<
