Lyrics What You Meant - Franz Ferdinand

What You Meant

As I took step number four
Into the close of your tenement
You cast your darkened eyes so low
Said we’re cold as the step cement
But I just don’t know
Oh what you meant
What you meant
So Alec you may want a pill
We are so cruel and to communicate
Without the red stuff being spilled
We must MDMA our sentiment
But I just don’t know
Oh what you meant
What you meant
What you meant
If we were feckless we’d be fine
Sucking hard on our innocence
But we’ve been bright in our decline
Been left as blackened filament
But I just don’t know
Oh
Oh I don’t know
No, I don’t know
No, I don’t know (what did you mean?)
No, I don’t know (what did you mean?)
No, I don’t know (what did you mean?)
No, I don’t know
I’ve got to get away from
I’ve got to get away from you
But I feel blood inside the vein
I feel life inside the ligament
I feel alive yeah just the same
Same vigor and the same intent
Oh but I just don’t know
If that’s what you meant
