"Walk Away"
Song
B-side"Sexy Boy"

"Walk Away" is a song by Scottish rock band Franz Ferdinand and is featured on their second album, You Could Have It So Much Better. It was released 5 December 2005 as the second single from that album in the UK, entering the UK Singles Chart at #13 a week later (see 2005 in British music). The riff of the song is similar to the Kraftwerk song "Das Model".

Background and recording

The video for the song premiered 4 November 2005 on Channel 4.

During the Exit festival in Novi Sad, Serbia on 6 July 2006 Alexander Kapranos explained that the song was dedicated to Gavrilo Princip, a Serbian-Bosnian assassin who shot the Archduke Franz Ferdinand. He said: "Serbians! There's one Serbian who's particularly dear to us. His name is Gavrilo Princip. This song is dedicated to him!" .
