- He was the only person to reply to my ad who wasn't a complete freak". "He came over with his keyboard and we started going through song ideas straight away. I had the verse to "Mr. Brightside" and he went away and wrote the chorus. That was the first song we wrote together and remains the only song that we've played at every single Killers show". - David Keuning commenting on Brandon Flowers
- I think people are really going to enjoy listening to music like ours again. I hope it will awaken those feelings that were awakened before when they listened to a really great record. - Drummer Ronnie Vannucci
- I've always had this thing about it not really mattering where you're from, because there's always been this big cloud over America saying you have to live in LA or you have to live in New York to make it. I always knew it didn't matter as long as you had the songs.
Brandon Flowers - I think that the public hear their pop radio or whatever and they just get sick of bad music. They want to hear songs again.
Ronnie Vannucci - We want to be important and to last.
Brandon Flowers - People today are coming together as a family because our brothers and sisters in Africa need our help. So let's change their worlds.
Brandon Flowers at Live 8, London - I have no idea who Shed Seven are. If we sounded like them they would have sold 3 million records and we probably would have heard of them.
Brandon Flowers - Are we Human?/ Or are we Dancer?/ My Sign is Vital/ my Hands are Cold./ And I'm on my Knees looking for the answer./ Are we Human?/ Or are we Dancer?
- My Global Position System is Vocally Addressed./ They say the Nile used to run from East to West.
- Over and in/ Last Call for Sin/ Whatever is lost/ the Battle is Won/ With All These Things that I Have Done!
- You're gonna bring yourself down, yeah/ you're gonna bring yourself down, yeah/ you're gonna bring yourself down!/ I got Soul but I'm not a Soldier/ I got Soul but I'm not a Soldier/I got Soul but I'm not a Soldier/I got Soul but I'm not a Soldier/I got Soul but I'm not a Soldier/I got Soul but I'm not a Soldier/I got Soul but I'm not a Soldier!/ Time! Truth! Hearts!
- Starmaker says it ain't so bad/ Dreammaker gonna make you mad/ Spaceman says Everybody Look Down/ It's all in your mind.
- Don't shoot me, Santa Claus!/ I've been a clean-livin' boy I promise you/ Did every little thing they asked me to/ I can't believe the things I'm going through/ Don't shoot me, Santa Claus!/ No-one else around believes me,/ but the children on the street they teased me/ I couldn't let them off that easy/ believe me.
- Console me in my darkest hour/ convince me that the truth is always grey/ caress me in your velvet chair/ conceal me from the ghost who passed away/ I ain't in no hurry/ you go run and tell your friends I'm losing touch/ fill their heads with rumors of impending doom/ it must be true.
- I ain't in no hurry/ you go run and tell your friends I'm losing touch/ fill their crown with stories/ the legend grows/ of how you got lost/ but you made your way back home/ you sold your soul/ like a roman vagabond.
- It's hard to pack the car when all you do is shame us/ it's even harder when the dirtbag's famous.
- I didn't see this comin', I admit it/ but if you think I'll buckle, forget it/ I told you that I'd be the one/ I'll be there in the life to come
- Candy talks to strangers/ Thinks her life's in danger/ No one gives a damn about her hair/ It's lonely down on track street/ She used to go by Jackie/ The cops, they'll steal your dreams and they'll kill your prayers/ Take a number where the blood just barely dried/ Wait for something better/ No one behind you/ Watching your shadows/ This feeling won't go
- There is no motive for this Crime/ Jenny was a friend of mine!
- The cops, they'll steal your dreams and they'll kill your prayers./Take a number where the blood just barely dried
- You're gonna miss me when I'm gone./ Chasing shadows in the moonlight,/ across the Desert on a hot night./ And for a second there, we'd won!/ We were innocent and young.
