Walk Away Lyrics
Innocence for pride, crush the end within my stride
Said 'I'm strong now I know that I'm a leader' I love the sound of you walking away, you walking away Mascara bleeds a blackened tear Oh, and I am cold, yes I'm cold, but not as cold as you are I love the sound of you walking away, you walking away I love the sound of you walking away, walking away, hey, hey Why don't you walk away? Why don't you walk away? Why don't you walk away? No buildings will fall down Why don't you walk away? No quake will split the ground Why don't you walk away? The sun won't swallow the sky Why don't you walk away? Statues will not cry Why don't you walk away? Why don't you walk away? Why don't you walk away? Why don't you walk away? I cannot turn to see those eyes, as apologies may rise I must be strong and stay an unbeliever And love the sound of you walking away, you walking away Mascara bleeds into my eye Oh, and I'm not cold, I am old, at least as old as you are I hear the sound of you walking away, you walking away I hear the sound of you walking away, walking away, hey hey And as you walk away, oh, as you walk away And as you walk away, my headstone crumbles down As you walk away, the Hollywood winds will howl As you walk away, the Kremlin's falling Oh, as you walk away, Radio 4 is static As you walk away, oh, as you walk away Oh, as you walk away, oh, as you walk away, hey The stab of stilettos On a silent night Stalin smiles and Hitler laughs Churchill claps Mao Tse-Tung on the back |

Why don't you walk away? No buildings will fall down
Why don't you walk away? No quake will split the ground
Why don't you walk away? The sun won't swallow the sky
Why don't you walk away? Statues will not cry
Why don't you walk away? Why don't you walk away?'
he thinks he would be happy to get rid of his girlfriend
'And as you walk away, oh, as you walk away
And as you walk away, my headstone crumbles down
As you walk away, the Hollywood winds will howl
As you walk away, the Kremlin's falling
Oh, as you walk away, Radio 4 is static'
but when it actually happens he realizes its a huge disaster
'The stab of stilettos
On a silent night
Stalin smiles and Hitler laughs
Churchill claps Mao Tse-Tung on the back'
as she leaves, his world is turned upside down and nothing is as it should be anymore

"Mascara bleeds a blackened tear" being an obvious reference to stealing oil in Iraq
Statues will not cry - statue of liberty
No quake will split the ground - air strikes
No buildings will fall down - twin towers

Read the lyrics, i'm sure it will all make sense. this song is about the war on terror and 9/11.

He has to keep believing that she's cold and loveless so he can go through with breaking up with her.

Franz Ferdinand are not American, there fore should'nt be refered to as US ("... the title 'walk away' is obviously about us leaving Iraq ...") However i do see where your coming from, ohh yes, seeing as Americans are so perfect Franz Ferdinand MUST be American because they produce good music, it would'nt be on for someone of a difffrent nationality to be supeior.
The song is about a relationship, not 9/11, maybe im giving an incorrect opinion but as a Brtish person i can say they we dont care about the happeneings of america 4 years ago, let elone have enough feeling to write a song about it.
Get a clue.

Dont be such a fool.
And those guys above were no way impying that franz ferdinand were american so i dont know where you get that idea from.
Dont open your mouth, youre a bad advert for british people. Most of us are nice, honest.

And this one is amazing in concert, probably the best of the night (next to 40', but only becuase of personal bias). Absolute poetry.

But it does make a point of the fact that songs (especially ones such as this that, as said above, are absolute metaphor filled poetry) can be interpreted so many ways depending on your life-perspective. Americans are basically not allowed to forget that stupid affair so, despite the fact that raisedbypuffins seems to be joking, it would be easy for an American to see that message first.

Secondly, Franz Ferdinand ARE American, and hence it would make perfect sence to write about 9/11.
Infact, the entire album is, to my mind, a metaphor of the life of troubled boker Mike Tyson.

The above link will take you to the legend of Stefan Dennis, perhaps the greatest musical talent to come out of Australia (a significant boast indeed).
As for Franz Ferdinand however, they are indeed from Chicago, Illinois, otherwise known as the windy city. Why would a British band write an album about Mike Tyson and a song about 9/11? The answer is obvious; they wouldn't. The ONLY conclusion to come to therefore is that Franz Ferdinand MUST be from Chicago.
