Franz Ferdinand - What You Waiting For? Lyrics






Tick-tock, tick-tock
Tick-tock, tick-tock
Tick-tock, tick-tock
Tick-tock, tick-tock
La, la, la, la, la, la, la

Like a cat in heat, stuck in a moving car
A scary conversation, shut my eyes, can't find the brake
What if they say that you're a quitter?
Naturally, I'm worried if I do it alone
Who really cares, cause it's your life
You never know, it could be great
take a chance cuz you might grow
Oh, oh!

What you waiting
What you waiting
What you waiting
What you waiting
What you waiting for?!

What you waiting
What you waiting
What you waiting
What you waiting
What you waiting for?!

Tick-tock, tick-tock
Tick-tock, tick-tock
Take a chance you stupid ho!

Like an echo pedal, you're repeating yourself
You know it all by heart
Why are you standing in one place?
Born to blossom, bloom to perish
Know your wigging out cuz of your sex chromozone
I know it's so messed up, how our society all thinks (for sure)
Life is short, you're capable

Oh, oh!
Look at your watch now
You're still a super hot female
You got your million-dollar contract
And they're all waiting for your hot track

What you waiting
What you waiting
What you waiting, waiting
Whatcha, What you waiting
What you waiting for?!

What you waiting
What you waiting
What you waiting
What you waiting, waiting
What you waiting for?!

Take me to Japan
Give me lots of brand new fans
Osaka, Tokyo
You Harajuku girls
Damn, you've got some wicked style, Go!!!

Look at your watch now
You're still a super hot female
You got your million-dollar contract
And they're all waiting for your hot track

What you waiting
What you waiting
What you waiting
What you waiting
What you waiting for?!

What you waiting
What you waiting
What you waiting
What you waiting
What you waiting for?!

Well, it's a nice day for a White Wedding
Woah!
Well, it's a nice day to start again

Well, it's a nice day for a White Wedding
Well, it's a nice day to, start again

Tick-tock, tick-tock
Tick-tock, tick-tock
Tick-tock, tick-tock
Tick-tock, tick-tock, Tick!

Franz Ferdinand What You Waiting For? Comments
  1. L.... ....

    BILLY IDOL

  2. V.... S....

    You are fantastic, this is my favorite song by Gwen Stefani and you ... you have tried so hard and I adore you, because I can feel all the fatigue of singing it in the lowest tones of a man XD ... because a man can no longer reach the notes of a woman, and so I liked it but I also laughed all the time and then in the end, when I least expect, it you become Billy Idol and I'm dead.

  3. S.... #....

    Grungey Groovey 🤘

  4. S.... T....

    Holy shit.

  5. D.... L....

    sound great.....is say so ?? or tik tok ????

  6. F.... Q....

    I really like Franz Ferdinand but Gwen Stefani is better at this song

  7. X.... ....

    EEEECH... no, sorry.

  8. J.... A....

    What you waiting for, white wedding mashup ft franz ferdinand

    J.... A....

    it's not ft, since it's a cover

  9. v.... ....

    great cover

  10. A.... M....

    The Billy Idol just made it.

  11. *.... ....

    Where's the fookin sound?

    *.... ....

    Fixed. My bad.

  12. L.... ....

    It sucks big time but I kind of like it haha

  13. B.... S....

    Wow, the Harajuku girls look a lot different now :o

  14. T.... G....

    I heard this off shameless 😂😂👌👌
    I think it's when Ian's banging Micky

  15. s.... ....

    I sang along ^^

  16. D.... G....

     
    Heard this on Radio 2 this morning. What a bloody awful tuneless, repetitive dirge of a song and a terrible performance as well. If this is typical of this band's output, then I'm amazed they've got any fans. Since found out they're Scots as well. If Scotland vote to go independent let's hope we never have to hear this shit group in England again.

    D.... G....

    This is a fantastic cover, don't hate on Franz.

    D.... G....

    @David Andrews I read this comment on youtube this afternoon. What a bloody awful pointless, repetitive dirge of a comment and terrible performance as well. If this is typical of this commenter's output, then I'm amazed anyone listens to him. Since found out he's a nationalistic European as well. If Scotland vote to go independent let's hope they won't have to deal with his guys shit in Scotland or the world again.

    So lets break this down. You heard it on the Radio, and, instead of turning it off or changing, you decide to get your knickers in a twist. You take the time out of your day to find this song online and post a stupid comment that serves no point what so ever other than to bitch. You're not contributing anything useful.

    This is Franz Ferdinand, this is a cover they did of "What You're Waiting For" by Gwen Stefani. Not a good song but I like the cover in my opinion. That 'sound' they have is their style; a cold, almost dispassionate style. It works extremely well for their songs like "Good bye lovers and friends".

    Also the quality of the audio for this video isn't very good.

    Thanks for your comment by the way, this was great stress relief.

    D.... G....

    Listen to their debut album before calling them shit

    D.... G....

    Actually, only 1 of them is Scottish. 1 is from England, 1 is from Germany, and the lead singer is from Greece. That and the Scottish guy does not sing. In other words, do your damb homework before you judge (and that includes listening to other songs).
    P.s, if their music is still not your cup of tea, you do not have to splash it in my face.

  17. E.... ....

    @brezzainvernale Gwen Stefani

    Thumbs up

  25. C.... ....

    I love how they added their unique sound to this song. I think this is how a cover should be, take the song and make it different. It's got a sort of 80's punk sound to it.

  26. v.... ....
