text: explain the song mr brightside!!!? swimming through sick lullabies jealousy, turning saints into the sea i thought this was kinda interesting-someone posted it on songfacts: "mr. brightside is an old english story about tim brightside, who goes to america for a while. he meets a prostitute. they fall in love. the prostitute promises him she will quit her prostitution for her love to him. but one night, she doesn't come home. she is waiting outside a hotel for a carriage to arrive... with a client. she gets in and the man starts to remove her clothes on the way to where he lives. word got around to our brightside friend, and he becomes depressed. one day, he climbs to the top of the brooklyn bride and commits suicide. and that is the story of mr. brightside" now! that kinda makes sense...anyway i'm going to see the killers on thursday! i cant wait!!! :d
