But their sound is their own, with a driving beat supplied by Thompson and bassist Bob Hardy. Kapranos' tense, observational lyrics - "Although my lover lives in a place that I can't live/ I find I like a life this lonely/ It rips and pierces me, I love the rip of nerves/ The rip that wakes me" - are augmented by occasional lines in German, the influence...
