One Kick's As Good As Another

Franz Ferdinand
"This Boy"
Listen | Buy

NOTES: This song is 2:21 of rollicking good fun. The single "Do You Want To?" is more popular, but this is the song I take with me to the gym. This is also the only song I can recall that makes reference to "Echinacea." That takes talent.

It seems this boy's bathed in ridicule
Too forward, way too physical
It's time that I had another

I'm always wanting more if there's another one
Give me some more, I'll have another one
I'll have a slice of your mother

And this boy's so spectacular
Not a boy, but a wealthy bachelor
I want a car
I want a car

I see losers losing everywhere
If I lose it'll only be the damn I give for another
I am complete, invincible
If I have one principle
Then it's to stand on you, brother

This boy is so spectacular
Not a boy, but a wealthy bachelor
I want a car
I want a car

If I like cocaine I'm racing you
For organic fresh Echinacea
One kick's as good as another
If I'm tired, I'm tired of telling you
I'm never tired, I'm always better than you
Bye boy, run to your mother

This boy is so spectacular
Not a boy, but a wealthy bachelor
I want a car
I want a car

That got the blood pumping!

I loved the first CD but haven't connected very much with #2. At least not yet. This entry makes me want to try again.

Hey Life! I don't (yet) like the second CD as much as the first, either. I need to bring it to work and listen to it on continuous loop for a day - that's how I make my decisions on how much I like a CD.

I don't know that I'll ever like a Franz song more than I like "Darts of Pleasure" and "Michael."
