@puddingmaster2 In an interview Flowers revealed that it was Morrissey's song "Sister I'm A Poet" that inspired him to write songs about murder, these songs are: "Jenny was a friend of mine", "Midnight Show" and "Leave the Bourbon on the Shelf."
There believed to have been inspired by the murder of Jennifer Levin perpetrated by Robert Chambers.
i'd have to say, this is up their with their best songs.... yes this is part of a murder trilogy, the second part. when he says 'i took my babies breath beneath the chandelier of stars and atmosphere', he just choked or strangled her, and when he says 'and watched her disappear into the midnight show', he threw her in the ocean. 'faster, faster, faster', i'm guessing means they're driving away so they don't get caught. ya, so that about sums it up :)

Hey Next5Km. It's all very well saying "NO COPYRIGHT OR INFRINGEMENT INTTENDED" but you've ripped a song from a cd and put it on the internet for free. How is that not a copyright infringement.
well huns24 just listen slowly i took my babies breath beneath the chandelier of stars and atmosphere (strangled her) now crashing tides cant hide a guilty girl (dumped her at sea)
ive got a blanket on the backseat on my mind(hes driving aroun dwondering what to do
uhh from what i know this song is about him murdering his gf, and jenny was a friend of mine, was also one about murder i guess? im not totally sure, and theres one other song too about that. but yeah its pretty creepy in an awesome way when u listen to the lyrics closely and put it together to find out what it meens.
This is a killers video and killers fans or even people checking out teh band watch this stuff. don't come on here and tell us to watch videos that aren't the killers. we really don't care.

I had this song stuck in my head all day ever since the very second I woke up and right when I got home I just had to listen to it! I adore The Killers but I don't like their new album "sam's town"... Thanks for sharing!
in this song he is talking about how he killed his love and in jenny is a friend of mine he is defending himself to the police when being interigated, listine to them and it will make perfect sense :)
this is the most under appreciated song of all time only 58,800 views.... not enough

This song is a part of the murder trilogy, everybody.
The first song is Leave the Burbon on the shelf, Midnight Show is the second song, and the last one is Jenny Was a Friend of mine.
Listen to them in that order, its cool.

Yeah its part of the Murder trilogy.
1) Leave the bourbon on the shelf on the sawdust about his gf leaving him.
2) Midnight show on Hot fuss about him killing her
3) Jenny was a friend of mine also on Hot Fuss about the police questioning him abiut her heath.
Pretty genius of the killers if you ask me. Blew my mind when i listened to them in a row.
