Mr Brightside - DEMO VERSION

This is the original version of "Mr. Brightside", released on one of the Killers' demo albums from 2003. Brandon's voice sounds very raw and there are a few lyrical differences. The pictures are from photoshoots and performances from 2004 or earlier. Enjoy! :)

LYRICS

Comin' out of my cage and I've been doing just fine
Gotta gotta be down because I want it all
It started out with a kiss
How did it end up like this?
It was only a kiss
It was only a kiss
Now I'm falling asleep
And she's calling a cab
While he's having a smoke
And she's taking a drag
Now they're going to bed
And my stomach is sick
And it's all in my head
But she's touching his chest now
He takes off her dress now
Let me go
I just can't look, it's killing me
And taking control
Jealousy
Turning saints into the sea
Swimming through sick lullabies
Choking on your alibis
But it's just the price I pay
Destiny is calling me
Open up my eager eyes
I'm Mr. Brightside

Comin' out of my cage and everything is just fine
Gotta gotta be down because I want it all
It started out with a kiss
How did it end up like this?
It was only a kiss
It was only a kiss
And they're falling asleep
And she's phoning a cab
While he's having a smoke
Then she's taking a drag
Now they're going to bed
And my stomach is sick
And it's all in my head
But she's touching his chest now
He takes off her dress now
Let me go
I just can't look, it's killing me
And taking control
Jealousy
Turning saints into the sea
Swimming through sick lullabies
Choking on your alibis
But it's just the price I pay
Destiny is calling me
Open up my eager eyes
I'm Mr. Brightside

I never
I never
I never

"Guys, it's been four hours, I really think these birds are fake"- The Killers.

[TheDevilsWater]

Thanks! Yeah, I got a kick out of that picture! ;D

[evilsbfreak]

That's awesome! I love that version of Mr. Brightside. The rawness of is great and sometimes it's kind of nice to hear songs with a little of their polish stripped away. And, the pictures are great! It's so fun to see pictures of them from the early days! Thanks for putting this together!

[TheDevilsWater]

[helenabellamuerte]

Wow, he sounds like his voice is still deepening here! He sounds like a frigging fourteen-year-old kid! That's crazy! And it's funny to me how he's kinda off key. This is like a really good singing-in-the-shower demo.

[schroeder1927]
