Franz Ferdinand - Love and destroy

Lyrics - Alex Kapranos, Nick McCarthy
Music - Alex Kapranos, Nick McCarthy

I'm so free I could lacerate
Rip the robes right off my chest
I fly high above the Muscovites' sky
I'm going to rip, rip, I'll never rest
I'm going to meet you at midnight
I'm going to meet you at midnight
I'm not used to living alone
I gotta learn or learn how to die

I'm so free as I'm naked
Shining silver under the moon
It's dark beneath the Muscovites' sky
I'm gonna rip, rip, I'll never sleep
I'm going to meet you at midnight
I'm going to meet you at midnight
I'll forget about living alone
I gotta learn, learn how to die

[Chorus]

Margarita - Love and Destroy
Margarita - Love and Destroy
Margarita - Love and Destroy
Margarita - Love and Destroy

I'm so free as I meet you
Welcoming black, the Queen of the ball
It's dark beneath the Muscovites' sky
But you give, you give me it all
Well I'm here with you at midnight
Well I'm here with you at midnight
I forget about living alone
As I learn, learn how to die

[Chorus]

Margarita - Love and Destroy
Margarita - Love and Destroy
Margarita - Love and Destroy
Margarita - Love and Destroy

Video


In 2013, Franz Ferdinand released its fourth studio album entitled Right Notes, Right Words, Wrong Order. To promote this album, a breathtaking live session was recorded at the legendary Konk Studios in London, which was distributed in a limited deluxe version of 500 copies as The Passport Edition.

One of the songs from the Konk sessions is the version of Love and Destroy you can watch here. The song was never released on a studio album of the band.


DVD

On October 29, 2004, Franz Ferdinand performed a concert at the Brixton Academy in South London, which was released on a double DVD on November 25, 2005, along with recordings from other concerts.

At each of those concerts the band played Love and Destroy, so the song on this DVD can be viewed in three different versions. With the link below you can view the performance in the Brixton Academy.
