“Evil Eye” is the 2nd track on Franz Ferdinand’s fourth studio album, Right Thoughts, Right Words, Right Action. In an interview with NPR music, Alex Kapranos stated that “Evil Eye” was influenced by his grandmother’s superstitions, stating:
…my grandmother was obsessed with the evil eye and people...
[Verse 1]
Ooh, what's the colour of the next car?
(It's red, you bastard) Yeah, red, you bastard
Don't believe in God, but I believe in this shit
Not me, I like to bring them down
Not me, some fool who dum-dum-do
(Dum-dum-do) Not, not, not me
[Chorus]
Some people get a freak out of me
Some people can't see what I can see
Some people want to see what I see
Some people put an evil eye on me
Ooh
[Verse 2]
Ooh, I have the evil eye
I, I, I see your soul
You wear it on your face
It's worn in what you do
Ooh, what's the colour of the next car?
(Yeah, it's red, you bastard) Yeah, red, you bastard
Don't believe in God, but I believe in this shit
(Not me) Not me, I like to bring them down
(Not me) Not me, some fool who dum-dum
(Dum-dum-do) Not, not, not me
[Chorus]
Some people get a freak out of me
Some people can't see what I can see
Some people want to see what I see
Some people put an evil eye on me
[Bridge]
It looks so clean but I can see
The crawling, crawling creatures
Suspended in solution
No, no, there's no solution
[Chorus]
Some people get a freak out of me
Some people can't see what I can see
Some people want to see what I see
Some people put an evil eye on me
Some people want to see what I see
Some people put an evil eye on me
Some people want to see what I see
Some people put an evil eye on me
