*cries*

Franz Ferdinand doesn't sound even VAGUELY appropriate for Fraser or Ray, brain! YOU ARE CLUTCHING AT STRAWS. Stop listening to "Come On Home" and thinking of Ray in Chicago post-CotW while Fraser's still in Canada!

People. Please help me. Am I not to be allowed to listen to music at all anymore? This is SAD.

*sigh*

Yousendit link so you can see how much it doesn't work (note: m4a, not mp3 format), plus lyrics (now fixed by rossetti):

Although my lover lives in a place that I can't live
I kind of find I like a life this lonely
It rips and pierces me in places I can't see
I love the rip of nerves, the rip that wakes me

So I'm dissatisfied, I love dissatisfied
I love to feel there's always more that I need

So come on home
So come on home
So come home...

You're where you want to be, I'm where I want to be
Caught up chasing everything I've ever wanted
I replace you easily, replace pathetically
I flirt with any flighty thing that falls my way

But how I needed you, when I needed you
Let's not forget we are so strong, so bloody strong

Come on home
So come on home
So come home...

Blue light falls upon your perfect skin
Falls, and you draw back again
Falls, and this is how I fell
And I can not forget this
And I can not forget this

Come on home
So come on home
But don't forget to leave



I'm going to go do linguistics homework now. There is nothing in minimal pairs to make me think of F/K, at least. Unless there was some kind of linguist!AU--

'Come On Home' is one of my favorite songs ever. 'I'm where I want to be' is engraved on the back of my iPod.

So, normally I wouldn't do this, because it seems a touch rude, but this is one of my favorite songs ever and I love the lyrics; the slight difference you have makes all the difference in the world in interpretation, though it still applies quite well to Fraser and Ray, in a heartbreaking way.

From ff.org, since ff.co.uk just took down their lyrics, for some reason (though god knows that Alex changes them on the fly):

Alex says:

"It’s about losing someone, so its kind of like a torch song, I guess. You used to hold a torch for this person but not being able to let go. Desperately wanting to but being unable to. That’s the essence of a torch song."

I shall edit with the correct lyrics immediately! (I was just pasting from a random lyrics site, actually, and didn't want to link because they're all crazy-pop-up-evil, so I'm glad you did this.)
