Misheard Lyrics: Chelsea
Dirty tricks into the sea Dirty cursed alibi Choking on your lullaby But it's just the bright-side things Dastardly and coming in Open up my eager eyes I'm Mr. Brightside. Original Lyrics: 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. | "Read My Mind"
Misheard Lyrics: A broken blister and a picture, please
Original Lyrics: A broken wrist and a big trapeze

"Mr. Brightside"
Misheard Lyrics: And they're going to bed And my stomach is sick But it's all in my head But she's touching his [cuts off suggestively] Just now He takes off her dress now Let me go
Original Lyrics: 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

Story about this misheard lyric by: Friginator Maybe it's just my filthy subconcious, but I always thought that the end of the chorus (but she's touching his...) was some sort of raunchy tease, instead of just starting a new verse with "chest" (Gee, what rhimes with "sick"?) I always felt uncomfortable when I heard this song over the radio. The subject matter isn't exactly kid-friendly to start out with, but I was still relieved when I read the lyrics. |

| "Somebody Told Me"
The Funny Lyrics: Well somebody told me
That you had a boyfriend Who looked like a girlfriend That I had in February of last year Why They're Funny: Ooh, this is such a nice little catty slight, isn't it? But I'm really not sure who to...It's either to the person Brandon Flowers is singing to, or the boyfriend, or the girlfriend. Maybe it's a general slight to all of them.

Omit 'a rushin' a rushin' around' first time. First three after each verse. Third time: Repeat twice more in a row.

| "All these things that I've done"
The Repetitive Lyrics: I got soul, but I'm not a soldier... (x10)
Why They're Repetitive: We hear this solitary line ten times in this song. That is more than 'you know you've gotta help me out, yeah' which is repeated six times in the song.

"Human"
The Nonsensical Lyrics: Are we dancer
or are we human? Why They're Nonsensical: The missing "s". Or more of them. But even if it were 'dancers' or 'humans' or even both I'm not sure whether that would make any sense. As a critic put it: It is 'classical Killer's nonsense'.

"On Top"
The Inappropriate Lyrics: We bring the bump to the grind, uh oh
I don't mind, we're on top Why They're Inappropriate: This seems to symbolize sex. But Brandon Flowers says its his feelings about where the band is at the moment.

| "Somebody Told Me"
The Inappropriate Lyrics: Somebody told me you had a boyfriend who looked like a girlfriend that I had in February of last year it's not confidential I've got potential russing and russing around
Why They're Inappropriate: First off what the hell does this 'somebody' mean when he says that another 'somebody' had a boyfriend that looked like a girlfriend which is totally sexist. And than he says that a third 'somebody' had a girlfriend who looked just like the byfriend which is yet again sexist. And who has potential in that quote. What's so confidential is the first 'somebody' cheating. And to top it all off why are you russing aroud so much hmmmmmmmmnmm.

"Under The Gun"
The Lyrics: Because Heaven sends and Heaven takes.
He's crashing cars in his brain. Keep him tied up to a dream. And only she can set him free. And he says to me. Kill me now, kill me now, kill me now, kill me now. Kill me now, kill me now, kill me now, kill me now. Why: The song is about a guy who loves a woman who doesn't love him back.
