The video for "L. Wells" is in black and white, and features many venues in Glasgow, Scotland, including The Château, where Franz Ferdinand played many songs in their early days. It follows a woman going around Glasgow. However, this woman is not the Lynsey Wells about whom the song was written. Lynsey, originally from Maghull, Liverpool, was actually on holiday assisting in an orphanage and church in Africa when Franz Ferdinand decided to release the track. The video is inspired by Rita Tushingham in A Taste of Honey and, particularly, Julie Christie in Billy Liar. Lynsey is played by Saskia Pomeroy, a student at Glasgow School Of Art. None of the members of the band appear in the video. The video premiered on MTV's UK website on 24 March 2006.

For anyone wondering who inspired this, I got this from Wikipedia:
""L. Wells" is a song about Liverpudlian Lynsey Wells, an acquaintance of Alex Kapranos, describing her beauty, goodness, and innocence. The song references the football anthem "You'll Never Walk Alone" in the second verse because Lynsey, a Liverpool supporter, would frequently play the Gerry & The Pacemakers version in her apartment."
The source is unavailable so take it for what it's worth, just if any of you were curious.
