Jenny Was a Friend of Mine
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
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

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

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 doing 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

故事是Jenny被殺了，兇手被逮，正接受警察偵訊
兇手說沒有動機，Jenny曾經是我的朋友。

蠻喜歡這首歌的旋律，可從來沒有認真聽過歌詞，
這一認真起來可不得了，竟然是這樣的故事
然後接著又發現，原來The Killers謀殺三部曲赫赫有名哪

Jenny Was a Friend of Mine Midnight Show Leave the Bourbon on the Shelf

Midnight Show也是我超愛的一首，輕快帶點迷幻
(Leave the Bourbon on The Shelf就普普)

Midnight Show
I know what you want
I gonna take you a midnight show tonight
If you can keep a secret
I got a blanket in the back seat on my mind
And a little place that sits beneath the sky
She turned her face to speak
But no-one heard her cry
Drive faster, boy
Drive faster, boy

I know there's a hope
There's too many people trying 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 something in my head
Somewhere in the back said
We were just a good thing
We were such a good thing

Make it go away without a word
But promise me you'll stay
And fix these things I've hurt
Oh make it go away!

Drive faster, boy
Drive faster, boy

The 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
Into the midnight show...

faster, faster, faster,faster,faster,faster
no no no no no no no no no no no no
If you keep a secret
Well baby I can keep
If you can keep a secret
If you keep a secret
I can keep a secret
If you can keep a secret
Well baby I can keep
If you can keep a secret

還沒看過歌詞之前
以為這首歌在說帶著心愛的女孩子開車到海邊約會
在夜空好似由星星交織而成的華麗吊燈下... (>///<)

結果是我把事情想簡單了...

I took my baby's breath beneath the chandelier Of stars in atmosphere
是在夜空好似由星星交織而成的華麗吊燈下殺人了
唉，搞什麼飛機，然後還有人進一步解讀：

兇手因為女朋友勾搭上其他男人憤而殺了她
把屍體丟在海中
( The crashing tide can't hide a guilty girl...)
然後到酒店隨便找了個女孩到他棄屍的地點
說了這個故事，然後要女孩keep a secret

我說這解讀的人想像力也太豐富，
不過歌詞越看越覺得好像真的是這麼回事兒。天哪。

是說我對這兩首歌的喜愛還是不變，
只要音樂好聽，管它歌詞殺人砍人還是裸奔都OK啦!!
