Brief Encounters Lyrics & Chords By Franz Ferdinand

We are bored, we are married, we are young
On the edge of the city, the edge of Ambrosia
Rolls upon, rolls upon, rolls upon the tongue

A certain party
A certain cul-de-sac
A certain outcome
A certain piece of me

Car keys, choose your keys
Car keys, choose your keys

Outside alone
Crossing a perfect lawn
Ah, could it be you?
Could it be you?
Could it be you
Or could it be
This is what freedom is?

We are brief encounters
We all lose our keys
We all choose our partners
We all choose our keys

Car keys, choose your keys
Car keys, choose your keys

Pull back, pull back into the drive
Rigid in the matrimonial superking bed
Pretend to sleep, pretend to sleep
Come on pretend, yeah, let's pretend
Yeah, let's pretend
Yeah, but

We are brief encounters
We all lose our keys
We all choose our partners
We all choose our keys

Car keys, choose your keys
Car keys, choose your keys
Car keys, choose your keys
Car keys, choose your keys
Car keys, choose your keys
Car keys, choose your keys
