*–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––PLEASE NOTE–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––* *–This file is the author's own work and represents their interpretation of the song.–* *–––––––You may only use this file for private study, scholarship, or research.–––––––* *–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––* 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.
