| I like the Killers because their lyrics touch on unusual subjects. Although they seem to frequently have some link with obsession! Think about it: Jenny Was A Friend Of Mine Andy, You're A Star Mr. Brightside and probably others too! Except I can't think of them right now and I'm just too lazy to. __________________ Leslie: Dream with me for a second, Ann: doesn't this neighborhood deserve a first class park?

| Midnight Show falls in the same vein of Jenny, Gwen. Those two songs are linked to a third we have never heard and probably will never hear.  Obession...Desperate deals with obsession as well. Oh Yeah by the Way is just freaking insane...abuse? Does that song not reminds anyone esle of What She Said by The Smiths? At least the music, not the lyrics...

| The murder trilogy, right? It's just that I haven't gotten around to seeing the lyrics for Midnight Show so I didn't think of it. Okay, I will. Yeah it's kind of the wrong thread for it  __________________ Leslie: Dream with me for a second, Ann: doesn't this neighborhood deserve a first class park?

| Oh, and speaking of songs about obsession... ALL THE PRETTY FACES! I listened to about three different versions of the song today and I'm so excited to hear how Moulder and Flood mess with it! *squees* Is this an unreleased song? In mean, technically, it is unreleased but we're all obsessed and of course have heard it... __________________ "It is aneurysm inducing logic that will surely leave me dead in my bathtub." -Ain't It Cool News on the HBP film.

| I haven't heard it, actually, but I can safely say I'm not as obsessed as you all are... __________________ Leslie: Dream with me for a second, Ann: doesn't this neighborhood deserve a first class park?

| Belle! You've heard different versions of it?! What? WHERE?! I've only heard the live ones we have.  Gwen If you get the chance to download it, I highly recommend it, it's a *****ing brilliant song  (well of course it is, it's The Killers! ;D)__________________ Katie | |||

| That's what I meant, the live versions... If you listen to them, not only are the lyrucs different, but the music as well. In one version Ronnie goes hell anuts on the drums. Dave goes a bit more melodic with the guitar in another version. In this one version, Ronnie and Mark are so spot on with each other that it trips me out in ways unknown... *squees*  .__________________ "It is aneurysm inducing logic that will surely leave me dead in my bathtub." -Ain't It Cool News on the HBP film.

| Fan Forum's Finest   | Well, I thought I'd post the When You Were Young lyrics so we could discuss   When You Were Young You sit there in your heartache Waiting on some beautiful boy To save you from your old ways You play forgiveness Watch it now- here he comes He doesn't look a thing like Jesus But he talks like a gentlemen Like you imagined when you were young Can we climb this mountain I don't know Higher now than ever before I know we can make it if we take it slow Let's take it easy Easy now, watch it go We're burning down the highway skyline On the back of a hurricane that started turning When you were young When you were young And sometimes you close your eyes and see the place where you Used to live When you were young They say the devil's water, it ain't so sweet You don't have to drink right now But you can dip your feet Every once in a little while You sit there in your heartache Waiting on some beautiful boy To save you from your old ways You play forgiveness Watch it now- here he comes He doesn't look a thing like Jesus But he talks like a gentlemen Like you imagined when you were young When you were young I said he doesn't look a thing like Jesus He doesn't look a thing like Jesus But more than you'll ever know __________________ ღTar [glambazons] [icon] Last edited by silver screens : 07-12-2006 at 09:23 PM. | |||

| Elite Fan  | Something about the end of the song is relly haunting when you listen to it. i don't know if it's the repeated use of Jesus, but the end kills me. Ah, the angst!!! __________________ Icon credit--Do not snag. | |||
