Originally released on February 9th 2004 as part of Franz Ferdinand's debut album.
A slower demo version of this song is featured in Ferdinand's 2nd single "Take Me Out"
under the name "Truck Stop" as a B-side. Accompanied by Nick McCarthy's lead piano
section (and a synth overdub), Alex Kapranos flows around this soft tune. 
Even without being released as a single, this track is one of the most frequently 
played on Ferdinand's setlists.
