Dah! I know this is a bit late but they played this as the last song at a party I went to. I hate the Killers and all that crap but there was something lucid about that moment. Was I pissed or is this a good song?

You were pissed.
― Matt DC, Monday, 21 May 2007 10:44 (nineteen years ago)
So pissed as to have lost control of all critical faculties.
― Matt DC, Monday, 21 May 2007 10:45 (nineteen years ago)
this remains one of the worst lyrics i've ever heard
― lex pretend, Monday, 21 May 2007 10:45 (nineteen years ago)
The actual song before that is sort of passable UNTIL the bit that goes 'I Got Soul But I'm Not A Soldier' which is possibly the most embarassing thing I have heard committed to tape this decade.
(Disclaimer - not yet heard Lily Allen claiming to be more gangsta than Wiley)

There's a boshing remix of it I have a sneaking liking for.
Grozart what in your opinion does "I got soul but I'm not a soldier" mean?
― Groke, Monday, 21 May 2007 10:47 (nineteen years ago)
It means roughly the same as "I toil but I'm not a toilet".
― Matt DC, Monday, 21 May 2007 10:48 (nineteen years ago)
I got feet but I'm not a feature.
― Groke, Monday, 21 May 2007 10:48 (nineteen years ago)
i hate the word bosh

not quite as much as eurobosh though
I got carp but I'm not a carpet

worst thread ever

i think i must have been out of my skull. it was 4am and i'd been drinking myself silly in a bid not to poke my eyes out with sticks. i think the chorus is shite but i think it was the aforementioned pre-chorus (the "yeeeAAAAH bleurgh bleurgh bleurgh dah-dah daah" bit) that i quite liked.
On the other hand - Mr Brightside - now that is definitely a shit song.

"Why didn't you just leave?" because our car was two and a half hours away.
― the next grozart, Monday, 21 May 2007 11:04 (nineteen years ago)
This is the song with the line(s) about "I wanna shine on in the hearts of Men" so "IGSBINAS" is not so bad.
― Mark G, Monday, 21 May 2007 11:11 (nineteen years ago)
has 696 ever had a 69? perhaps we should not be told

total classic

i got class, but
― A B C, Monday, 21 May 2007 11:21 (nineteen years ago)
I'm actually going to put my hand up and say that part cracks me up in a good way. I guess I've always assumed they know it's groan-worthy (it is), but are doing it anyways 'cause it's kinda goofy, too.
― The Reverend, Monday, 21 May 2007 14:21 (nineteen years ago)
Mark G for the win!
― Bimble, Monday, 21 May 2007 19:19 (nineteen years ago)
i got ass but i'm not an asshole
― Jordan, Monday, 21 May 2007 19:24 (nineteen years ago)
I thought this was by Jet. I only hear these songs in the pub. Everything's classic in the pub.
― Noodle Vague, Monday, 21 May 2007 19:25 (nineteen years ago)
This is, by far, their greatest song.
― Alfred, Lord Sotosyn, Monday, 21 May 2007 19:25 (nineteen years ago)
PLAY THIS AT MY FUNERAL
― da croupier, Monday, 21 May 2007 20:04 (nineteen years ago)
This is my favourite Killers song. This and the much derided "It's INDIE ROCK AND ROLL TO ME!!!" As The Reverend said, they know it's silly and goofy - but y'all need to embrace it.
― danzig, Monday, 21 May 2007 20:40 (nineteen years ago)
I mean, there's a gospel choir.

OTM. It's the one that'll last.

I hear Brightside played more than this (thank god)
