Franz Ferdinand - Ghost In A Ditch Lyrics

This ghost lay in a ditch on Thursday
Where I was meant to be
I almost missed my death, it's so good
Now he's decked in flowers for me

I hope she doesn't like me
Or I'll still be standing more than likely
Where he once stood
And that's not good

We pretend not to look at each other
But he could see over his shoulder
He got me a time, he got that a time
Never a time again

I noticed the hair on her head that's not real
Now I'm left with a dead and a naked ordeal
When all I want is down at the shore
Sitting in my car

And bitter sometimes but the taste is sweet
Your friends only like themselves in photographs
I don't like them
I don't like you

We pretend not to care for another
I stand on my feet when I hold her
We pretend not to look at the change
And for good I cry

So when the stars look bright above me
And in the streetlights I can't see
I walk on down to make a stand
Where he once stood

So now they lie there
Breast to breast and toe to toe
And all I want is down at the shore
Sitting in my car

We end it, it's all over
She'll marry me but I'll hold her
She shoveled the dirt into my face
But I don't care

I love her
