This song is a cover by McFly of “Mr. Brightside” by The Killers, which serves as the B-Side of their third single “I Wanna Hold You” from their second studio album Wonderland (2005).
Coming 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
'Cos I just can't look its killing me
And taking control
Jealousy turning saints into the sea
Swimming through sick lullabies
Choking on your alibi
But it's just the price I pay
Destiny is calling me
Open up my eager eyes
'Cos I'm Mr Brightside
(repeat)
I never
I never
I never
I never
Mr. Brightside was written by Brandon Flowers & Dave Keuning.
Mr. Brightside was produced by Jason Perry.
McFly released Mr. Brightside on Mon Oct 17 2005.
