Franz Ferdinand was the Archduke of the Austro Hungarian empire, assassinated in Sarajevo I think, whose death precipitated world war I. Whatever this song is actually about, there are a lot of references to assassination, like the title, and the mention of crosshairs
I heard the part where it says "I won't be leaving here with you" is reference to how his wife was killed and he didn't want to live without her.Not sure if that's the case tho.
They were in those 2000's prog rock stuff. I haven't ever seen the video until now, but that song is still on my old-ass brick iPod playlists! Lol Good choice!
They used to have music video budgets back then that were huge..so artist were able to go all out on there vids This is a classic song cause people have heard it they just don't remember where

Den Franz Ferdinand den ich kenne , singt aber ganz anders und ist schon fast über achtzig Jahre alt . Grüße aus Heidelberg / Deutschland
