Fantastic. It sounds like U2 and The Cure all wrapped up in awesomeness.

When You Were Young

You sit there in your heartache
Waiting on some beautiful boy to
To save you from your old ways
You play forgiveness
Watch it now - here he comes

He doesn't look a thing like Jesus
But he talks like a gentlemen
Like you imagined when you were young

Can we climb this mountain
I don't know
Higher now than ever before
I know we can make it if we take it slow
Let's take it easy
Easy now, watch it go

We're burning down the highway skyline
On the back of a hurricane that started turning
When you were young
When you were young

And sometimes you close your eyes
and see the place where you used to live
When you were young

They say the devil's water, it ain't so sweet
You don't have to drink right now
But you can dip your feet
Every once in a little while

You sit there in your heartache
Waiting on some beautiful boy to
To save you from your old ways
You play forgiveness
Watch it now here he comes

He doesn't look a thing like Jesus
But he talks like a gentlemen
Like you imagined when you were young
(He talks like a gentlemen, like you imagined when)
When you were young

I said he doesn't look a thing like Jesus
He doesn't look a thing like Jesus
But more than you'll ever know

The Killers. New song.

this is a pretty cool song. what did you think of the other one bling bling or somethin?

Christopher said:

They have another new one?

I like it, but it does seem to bite U2 pretty hard. The guitar solo, in particular, sounds quite a bit like 'Crumbs From Your Table'.

...not that that's necessarily a bad thing...

or did I mean 'Miracle Drug'...

Listening for the 40th time now.

Just heard it last night. I like it well enough, but I swear to God I've heard those lyrics somewhere before. Is it a cover?

Nah, it's not a cover. But it owes a debt to the 80s, to be sure.

They had to have taken/borrowed/stolen lyrics from somewhere else, because I know I've heard them before, and that one time's the only time I've heard the song. A poem or a lesser known song, maybe? Maybe it's a reference to something else?
