Jenny Was a Friend of Mine Lyrics

[Verse 1]
We took a walk that night, but it wasn't the same
We had a fight on the promenade out in the rain
She said she loved me, but she had somewhere to go
She couldn't scream while I held her close
I swore I'd never let her go
[Chorus]
Tell me what you wanna know
Oh, come on, oh, come on, oh, come on
There ain't no motive for this crime
Jenny was a friend of mine
So come on, oh, come on, oh, come on
Oh, oh, oh
[Verse 2]
I know my rights, I've been here all day and it's time
For me to go, so let me know if it's alright
I just can't take this, I swear I told you the truth
She couldn't scream while I held her close
I swore I'd never let her go, oh
[Chorus]
Tell me what you wanna know
Oh, come on, oh, come on, oh, come on
And then you whisper in my ear
"I know what you're doin' here"
So come on, oh, come on, oh, come on
There ain't no motive for this crime
Jenny was a friend of mine
Oh, come on, oh, come on, oh, come on
Oh, oh, oh

Mr. Brightside Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Comin' out of my cage and I've been doin' 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 goin' to bed and my stomach is sick
And it's all in my head, but she's touching his
[Pre-Chorus]
Chest now
He takes off her dress now
Let me go
And I just can't look, it's killing me
And taking control
[Chorus]
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
[Interlude]
[Verse 2]
I'm comin' out of my cage and I've been doin' 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 havin' a smoke and she's taking a drag
Now they're goin' to bed and my stomach is sick
And it's all in my head, but she's touching his
[Pre-Chorus]
Chest now
He takes off her dress now
Let me go
'Cause I just can't look, it's killing me
And taking control
[Chorus]
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
[Interlude]
[Outro]
I never
I never
I never
I never

Smile Like You Mean It Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Save some face, you know you've only got one
Change your ways while you're young
Boy, one day you'll be a man
Oh, girl, he'll help you understand
[Chorus]
Smile like you mean it
Smile like you mean it
[Verse 2]
Looking back at sunsets on the East side
We lost track of the time
Dreams aren't what they used to be
Some things slide by so carelessly
[Chorus]
Smile like you mean it
Smile like you mean it
[Bridge]
And someone is calling my name
From the back of the restaurant
And someone is playing a game
In the house that I grew up in
And someone will drive her around
Down the same streets that I did
On the same streets that I did
[Chorus]
Smile like you mean it
Smile like you mean it
Smile like you mean it
Smile like you mean it
[Outro]
Oh no, oh no, no, no
Oh no, oh no, no, no, no, no, no, no

Somebody Told Me Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Breakin' my back just to know your name
Seventeen tracks and I've had it with this game
I'm breakin' my back just to know your name
But heaven ain't close in a place like this
Anything goes, but don't blink, you might miss
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause heaven ain't close in a place like this
I said, oh, heaven ain't close in a place like this
Bring it back down, bring it back down tonight (Ooh-ooh)
Never thought I'd let a rumor ruin my moonlight
[Chorus]
Well, 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
[Verse 2]
Ready, let's roll onto somethin' new
Takin' its toll then I'm leaving without you
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause heaven ain't close in a place like this
I said, oh, heaven ain't close in a place like this
Bring it back down, bring it back down tonight (Ooh-ooh)
Never thought I'd let a rumor ruin my moonlight
[Chorus]
Well, 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
A-rushin', a-rushin' around
[Bridge]
Pace yourself for me (For me)
I said maybe, baby, please (Please)
But I just don't know now (Maybe, baby)
When all I wanna do is try
[Chorus]
Well, 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
A-rushin', a-rushin' around
Oh, 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
A-rushin', a-rushin' around
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
A-rushin', a-rushin' around

All These Things That I’ve Done Lyrics

[Intro: Brandon Flowers]
When there's nowhere else to run
Is there room for one more son?
One more son
If you can, hold on
If you can, hold on, hold on
[Verse 1: Brandon Flowers]
I wanna stand up, I wanna let go
You know, you know; no, you don't, you don't
I wanna shine on in the hearts of man
I want a meanin' from the back of my broken hand
[Verse 2: Brandon Flowers]
Another head aches, another heart breaks
I'm so much older than I can take
And my affection, well, it comes and goes
I need direction to perfection, no, no, no, no
[Chorus: Brandon Flowers & Mark Stoermer]
Help me out, yeah
You know you gotta help me out, yeah
Oh, don't you put me on the back burner
You know you gotta help me out, yeah
[Verse 3: Brandon Flowers]
And when there's nowhere else to run
Is there room for one more son?
These changes ain't changin' me
The cold-hearted boy I used to be
[Chorus: Brandon Flowers]
Yeah, you know you gotta help me out, yeah
Oh, don't you put me on the back burner
You know you gotta help me out, yeah
You're gonna bring yourself down, yeah
You're gonna bring yourself down, yeah
You're gonna bring yourself down
[Bridge: Brandon Flowers, with Mark Stoermer & The Sweet Inspirations]
I got soul but I'm not a soldier
I got soul but I'm not a soldier
I got soul but I'm not a soldier
I got soul but I'm not a soldier
I got soul but I'm not a soldier
I got soul but I'm not a soldier
I got soul but I'm not a soldier
I got soul but I'm not a soldier
I got soul but I'm not a soldier
I got soul but I'm not a soldier
(Time, truth, and hearts)
[Chorus: Brandon Flowers, Mark Stoermer, and The Sweet Inspirations]
Yeah, you know you gotta help me out, yeah
Oh, don't you put me on the back burner
You know you gotta help me out, yeah
You're gonna bring yourself down, yeah
You're gonna bring yourself down, yeah
Oh, don't you put me on the back burner
You're gonna bring yourself down, yeah
You're gonna bring yourself down
[Outro: Brandon Flowers, Mark Stoermer]
Over and in (You're gonna bring yourself down)
Last call for sin (Bring yourself down)
While everyone's lost, the battle is won
With all these things that I've done
All these things that I've done (Time, truth, and hearts)
If you can hold on
If you can hold on

Andy, You’re a Star Lyrics

[Intro]
One, two
[Verse 1]
On the field, I remember you were incredible
Hey, shut up, hey, shut up, yeah
On the field, I remember you were incredible
Hey, shut up, hey, shut up, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
On the mats with the boys, you think you're alone
With the pain that you drain from love
In a car with a girl, promise me she's not your world
[Chorus]
'Cause Andy, you're a star
Get down, hey
[Verse 2]
Leave your number on the locker and I'll give you a call
Hey, shut up, hey, shut up, yeah
Leave your legacy in gold on the plaques that line the hall
Hey, shut up, hey, shut up, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
On the streets, such a sweet face jumped in town
In the staffroom, the verdict is in
In a car with a girl, promise me she's not your world
[Chorus]
'Cause Andy, you're a star
In nobody's eyes but mine
Andy, you're a star
In nobody's eyes but mine
Andy, you're a star
In nobody's eyes, in nobody's eyes but mine

On Top Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Remember Rio and get down
Like some other DJ, in some other town
She's been tryin' to tell me to hold tight
But I've been waitin' this whole night
[Pre-Chorus]
While I've been down
Across the road or two
But now I've found
The velvet sun that shines on me and you
[Chorus]
In the back, ah-ho, I can't crack, we're on top
It's just a shimmy and a shake, ah-ho, I can't fake
We're on top, we're on top
[Verse 2]
The day is breakin', we're still here
Your body's shakin' and it's clear
You really need it, so let go
And let me feed it, but you know
[Pre-Chorus]
That I've been down
Across the road or two
But now I've found
The velvet sun that shines on me and you
[Chorus]
In the back, ah-ho, I can't crack, we're on top
It's just a shimmy and a shake, ah-ho, I can't fake
We're on top, we're on top
We bring the bump to the grind, ah-ho, I don't mind, we're on top
It's just a shimmy and a shake, ah-ho, I can't fake
We're on top, we're on top
[Bridge]
And we don't mean to satisfy tonight
So get your eyes off of my bride tonight
'Cause I don't need to satisfy tonight
It's like a cigarette in the mouth
Or a handshake in the doorway
I look at you and smile because I'm fine
[Outro]
And we don't mean to satisfy tonight
So get your eyes off of my bride tonight
'Cause I don't need to satisfy tonight
It's like a cigarette in the mouth
Or a handshake in the doorway
I look at you and smile because I'm fine now

Glamorous Indie Rock & Roll Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Glamorous indie rock and roll is what I want
It's in my soul, it's what I need
Indie rock and roll, it's time
Two of us flipping through a thrift store magazine
She plays the drums, I'm on tambourine
Bet your, your bottom dollar on me
[Chorus]
It's indie rock and roll for me
It's indie rock and roll for me
It's all I need
It's indie rock and roll for me
[Verse 2]
In a clutch, I'm talking every word for all the boys
Electric girls with worn-down toys
Make it up, break it up, what do you care?
Oh, what do you care?
I take my twist with a shout
A coffee shop with a cause, then I'll freak you out
No sex, no drugs, no life, no love
When it comes to today
[Bridge]
Stay if you want to love me, stay
Oh, don't be shy, let's cause a scene
Like lovers do on silver screens
Let's make it, yeah, we'll cause a scene
[Chorus]
It's indie rock and roll for me
It's indie rock and roll for me
It's all I need
It's indie rock and roll for me
[Outro]
(In a clutch, I'm)
Indie rock and roll for me (Talking every word for all the boys)
It's all I need
Make it up, break it up, what do you care?
It's indie rock and roll for me
(Two of us)
Indie rock and roll for me (Flipping through a thrift store magazine)
It's all I need
Make it up, break it up, what do you care?
It's indie rock and roll for me

Believe Me Natalie Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Believe me, Natalie, listen, Natalie, this is
Your last chance to find a go-go dance to disco now
Please believe me, Natalie, listen Natalie, this is
Your last chance to find a go-go dance to disco now
Forget what they said in SoHo, leave the "Oh no"s out
And believe me, Natalie, listen Natalie, this is
Your last chance
[Verse 2]
There is an old cliché under your Monet, baby
Remember the arch of roses right above your couch?
Forget what they said in SoHo, leave the "Oh no"s out
Yes, there is an old cliché under your Monet, baby
[Bridge]
You left the station now to the floor
With speculation, what was it for?
In that old hallway, Mom says, "Why don't you
Stay? You've been away for a long time"
[Outro]
Believe me, Natalie, this is (Your last chance)
Your last chance to find a go-go
Forget what they said in SoHo
And walk away
If my dreams for us can't get you through just one more day
It's alright by me
God, help me somehow
There's no time for survival left
The time is now, 'cause this might be
Your last chance to disco
Oh-oh, oh-oh

Midnight Show Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I know what you want
I'm gonna take you to a midnight show tonight
If you can keep a secret
I got a blanket in the back seat on my mind
[Pre-Chorus]
And a little place that sits beneath the sky
She turned her face to speak, but no one heard her cry
[Chorus]
"Drive faster, boy
Drive faster, boy, ooh, yeah-ooh"
[Verse 2]
I know there's a hope
There's too many people tryin' to help me cope
You got a real short skirt
I wanna look up, look up, look up, yeah, yeah
We were just in time
Let me take a little more off your mind
There's somethin' in my head, somewhere in the back, sayin'
"We were just a good thing, we were such a good thing"
[Pre-Chorus]
Make it go away without a word
But promise me you'll stay and fix these things I've heard
[Chorus]
Oh, make it go away, oh
Drive faster, boy, ooh, yeah-ooh, oh no
[Bridge]
A crashing tide can't hide a guilty girl
With jealous hearts that start with gloss and curls
I took my baby's breath beneath the chandelier
Of stars in atmosphere and watched her disappear
[Chorus]
Into the midnight show
A-faster, a-faster, a-faster, a-faster, faster, a-faster
Oh no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
[Outro]
If you can keep a secret
Well, baby, I can keep it if you can keep a secret
(She said she loved me)
If you can keep a secret, I can keep a secret
(She said she loved me)
If you can keep a secret
Well, baby, I can keep it if you can keep a secret

Everything Will Be Alright Lyrics

[Intro]
Doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
I believe in you and me
[Verse]
And I'm comin' to find you, if it takes me all night
Wrong until you make it right
And I won't forget you
At least I'll try and run
And run tonight
[Chorus]
Everything will be alright, everything will be alright
Everything will be alright
Everything will be alright, everything will be alright
Everything will be alright
[Post-Chorus]
Alright, alright
Alright
Alright
Alright
[Interlude]
La-la-la-la-la-la
A-ho
[Bridge]
I wasn't shopping for a doll
To say the least, I thought I'd seen them all
But then you took me by surprise
I'm dreamin' 'bout those dreamy eyes
I never knew, I never knew
So take your suitcase, 'cause I don't mind
And baby doll, I meant it every time
And you don't need to compromise
I'm dreamin' 'bout those dreamy eyes
I never knew, I never knew
But it's alright
Alright
[Chorus]
Everything will be alright, everything will be alright
Everything will be alright
Everything will be alright, everything will be alright
Everything will be alright
Everything will be alright, everything will be alright
Everything will be alright
Everything will be alright, everything will be alright
Everything will be alright
It will be alright
