Fair play, this song is absolutly fucking brilliant.
Its by the Killers, been around for a while i know but i only
really listen to the album properly and this is by far the
song on the album. I saw them live in June and they were very good.

The Killers - Mr Brightside
"Mr Brightside"

I'm coming out of my cage
And I’ve been doing just fine
Gotta gotta be down
Because I want it all
It started out with a kiss
How did it end up like this
It was only a kiss, it was only a kiss
Now I’m falling asleep
And she’s calling a cab
While he’s having a smoke
And she’s taking a drag
Now they’re going to bed
And my stomach is sick
And it’s all in my head
But she’s touching his—chest
Now, he takes off her dress
Now, let me go

And I just can’t look its killing me
And taking control
Jealousy, turning saints into the sea
Swimming through sick lullabies
Choking on your alibis
But it’s just the price I pay
Destiny is calling me
Open up my eager eyes
‘Cause I’m Mr Brightside

I’m coming out of my cage
And I’ve been doing just fine
Gotta gotta be down
Because I want it all
It started out with a kiss
How did it end up like this
It was only a kiss, it was only a kiss
Now I’m falling asleep
And she’s calling a cab
While he’s having a smoke
And she’s taking a drag
Now they’re going to bed
And my stomach is sick
And it’s all in my head
But she’s touching his—chest
Now, he takes off her dress
Now, let me go

Cause I just can’t look its killing me
And taking control
Jealousy, turning saints into the sea
Swimming through sick lullabies
Choking on your alibis
But it’s just the price I pay
Destiny is calling me
Open up my eager eyes
‘Cause I’m Mr Brightside

I never...
I never...
I never...
I never...

ancient, but an excellent song. Very New Wave-ish.

Carving up your flesh
Until I get to the Bone
Murder all I can
True death still lives on
Open wounds in sickly skin
Gangrenous infected dead
I'll tear you up
and fuck the holes I cut into you

Murderer - I rape the dead
Torture killer

Crushing bone and skin
As I break a hole through your cranium
Mutilated death
Piles of decayed victims - brutalized
Torturing human flesh
Sadistically perverse _ necrophile
Terrified you live to die to rot - dead - in a shallow grave

Murderer - I rape the dead
Torture killer
Murderer - I rape the dead
Torture killer

Carving up your flesh
Until I get to the bone
Murder all I can
True death still lives on
Open wounds in sickly skin
Gangrenous infected dead
I'll tear you up - and fuck the holes I cut into you

Murderer - I rape the dead
One sick fuck
Torture killer

Atleast it's not Morrisey.
