Franz Ferdinand is the debut album by Scottish indie rock band Franz Ferdinand, released in early 2004. It entered the United Kingdom album charts at number three in February 2004 and contains three UK top ten singles: "Take Me Out", "This Fire" (on the download chart) and "The Dark of the Matinée" or "Matinée". Franz Ferdinand won the 2004 Mercury Music Prize. The album has since sold over 3.6 million copies worldwide. The album is notable as one of the very few modern albums that are not compressed to the max in participation of the loudness war.

The album entered the UK album charts at #3 in February 2004 and at #12 on the Australian ARIA album charts in April 2004. The album entered the Billboard 200 album charts on April 26, 2004, and climbed slowly, peaking at #32 in December 2004. It reached #2 on the Heatseeker chart for new acts.

Track History:
"This Fire" is the fifth single by Scottish rock band Franz Ferdinand from their eponymous album. It was not as successful as their other singles, but received widespread airplay.
It was released as a download-only single and is still available on the official Franz Ferdinand website. The song reached #17 on the United States Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart and #8 on the UK Download Chart. It was featured on the in-game soundtrack to the PlayStation 2 and Xbox video game Burnout 3: Takedown. The song has become part of the hockey culture in Calgary, Alberta, where it is played in every Calgary Flames home game.
The single was released in Australia as "This Fffire" [sic] with identical b-sides to the UK release of "Michael". The music video for the song was directed by Stylewar.
The song was later sampled for Burn This City by rapper Lil Wayne & Twista.
The album artwork to "This Fire" is based on El Lissitzky's art work; "Beat the Whites with the Red Wedge"
Lyrics:
Eyes
Boring a way through me
Paralyse
Controlling completely
New
There is a fire in me
Fire that burns
Fire that burns
This fire is out of control
I'm going to burn this city
Burn this city
If this fire is out of control
Then i
I'm out of control
And i burn
Eyes
Burning a way to me
Overwhelm
Destroying so sweetly
New
There is a fire in me
Fire that burns
Fire that burns
This fire...
