“Johnny Delusional” is the glam-inspired first track and lead single from FFS, a collaborative album between Scottish indie rockers Franz Ferdinand and American rock mainstays Sparks.
The danceable track features lyrics that dissect those moments when you fall in love with someone on the street, or...
[Verse 1]
Words are in my head but I can't enunciate them clearly
Headphones on your hair, they prevent a chance to even try
Some might find me borderline attractive from afar
But afar is not where I can stay and there you are
[Chorus]
Though I want you
I know I haven't a chance
Still I want you
Johnny Delusional here
[Verse 2]
I know "yes" and "no" in a couple dozen other languages
But your form of "no" is the kind of look I can't deny
Tell me, are resistance and stupidity the same?
Tell me, is resistance so enticing? Please explain
[Chorus]
Though I want you
I know I haven't a chance
Still I want you
Johnny Delusional here
Though I want you
I know I haven't a chance
Still I want you
Johnny Delusional here
[Bridge]
(Though I want you)
Paging Mr. Delusional
You're wanted at the desk
Paging Mr. Delusional
You're wanted at the front desk
Wouldn't it be terrible if there's no music there?
Wouldn't that be terrible if she don't want you near?
Wouldn't it be terrible if there's no music there?
Wouldn't that be terrible if she don't want you near?
[Outro]
Though I want you (if there's no music there?)
I know I haven't a chance
Still I want you (if she don't want you near?)
Johnny Delusional here
Though I want you (if there's no music there?)
I know I haven't a chance
Still I want you (if she don't want you near?)
Johnny Delusional here
