The Killers – Mr. Brightside Lyrics 12 years ago
@Sabazius: What if this is after he gets out of jail (or maybe he was never actually convicted) and keeps having flashbacks about what made him kill Jenny? Maybe that he got jealous when he saw her at the movies (Midnight Show) kissing another guy and got thrown into all these images of what she could have done, and that somehow made him snap and kill her. Bourbon could be what he was kind of rambling to her as he killed her basically saying 'I would have been more than happy to drink alone, but you had to waltz in and ruin everything, and now look what happened.' Now, he's flashing back to her constantly and realizing that it was just a kiss, she probably didn't do much more than that and he killed her for it. That would explain the somewhat jumbled feeling of the song, and still makes sense in the sceme of things.
