Fresh Strawberries Lyrics


We are Fresh Strawberries
Fresh burst of red strawberries
Ripe, turning riper in the bowl
We will soon be rotten
We will all be forgotten
Half remembered rumours of the old

So wouldn't it be easy with
Something to believe in that could
Give us more
Than here's my work
So where's my pay
To buy what I don't need?
Wouldn't it be easy to believe? (To believe?)
To believe? (To believe?)

Thieves believe
Everybody steals
I believe there's nothing to believe
But I'd love the manual
The instruction manual
Oh, liars
Swear that they never lie

Wouldn't it be easy with
Something to believe in that could
Give us more
Than here's my years
So now they're gone
It's time for me to leave
Wouldn't it be easy to believe? (To believe?)
To believe?

Wouldn't it be easy to believe?
Wouldn't it be easy to believe?

We are fresh strawberries
Fresh burst of red strawberries
Ripe, turning riper – so…

Wouldn't it be easy?
Something could give us more
But I don't know
No I don't know
I don't know what I need
Wouldn't it be easy
Oh couldn't it be easy
Shouldn't it be easy
To believe?

Fresh Strawberries
  • Franz Ferdinand vocalist Alex Kapranos explained the song's meaning to NME: "It's about searching for an answer, whether it's religion, or a belief system, or just somebody to admire."
  • Veronica Falls vocalist Roxanne Clifford sings on this track. Clifford's face can be seen on the single cover for Franz Ferdinand's "Do You Want To."
  • This was released on April 7, 2014 as the fifth single from Right Thoughts, Right Words, Right Action. The B-side, "Erdbeer Mund," is sung by Kapranos entirely in German. Its title translates to "Strawberry Mouth."
