Franz Ferdinand - Leaving My Old Life Behind Lyrics






I learned quite a lot
Shooting through my mind
Things I never guessed at before

And so I decided
To leave my old life behind
I don't need it anymore

I'm gonna learn to climb the clouds
I'm gonna learn to climb the wind
I wont stop til Ive understood the dark

I'm gonna learn to fly the clouds
I'm gonna understand the air
My mind will listen to the stars

To everyone else I appear quite the same
And I help them as much as I can

But they'll never know that my mind is in the air
O how could they ever understand

I'm gonna learn to climb the clouds
I'm gonna pull upon the rain
I'll learn what lies beneath the earth

I'm gonna learn to climb the clouds
I'm gonna understand the space
I'll even go back beyond birth

    Stella Luise Smith it's in the description

  3. L.... I....

    I didn't realise FF covered this - seems tailor-made for them as well! I only realised when I was hunting out a clip for Kenneth Anger's birthday - the old bastard is 90!

    L.... I....

    Not personally, but I do admire his work - those films are proper psychedelic.

    L.... I....

    Not personally, but I love his films - they're pure psychedelia!

    a pearl

  5. c.... c....

    this is beautiful

  6. N.... ....

    It's not every day that I hear an exceptional cover.  I think that the reason for this lies squarely on Franz's respect for Jonathan Halper's original style and artistic intent.

  7. D.... I....

    Nice,altough Halper's voice sounds little better.But this is not bad,and i think could be good in some movie or Tv series

  8. S.... s....
