OK well basically, this song is the third part of the whole "Jenny" thing, In "Jenny was a friend of mine" you get the impression that the singer, person telling the story, whatever killed her after a fight they had. the reasons he killed her arn't all that clear. what i thought was she was cheating on him, you can kinda get that impression from the lyric "who's that boy hoding your hand" In the second part of the story, Midnight show he's trying to forget his problems and the things he's done with random girls he finds. "if you can keep a secret" i think this shows he is confiding in this woman he has found, maybe she tells the police and thats why in Jenny was a friend of mine he is trying to defend himself from accusations from what i think is the police. "Falling over myself" i think this is just him falling to pieces over what he's done. also he says "i can't be satisfied until i hold you tight" this could be him thinking back over her with another man and possibly regretting what he's done. that's what i think ^^

I have listened the killers for a long time now, ever since my auntie died her name was Jenny. I had a bond with their music it seemed he was singing about my auntie. Her fave drink was bourbon, she had a fall out with her man then she died the same night. He never forgave himself and tried to get over it by night clubbing. I think its pretty much her life and its so bizarre and I think that all these songs have such deep meaning. Does anyone understand what I mean?

Well i dont think that anywhere it metions drugs but all of the three murder songs are very good. A little messed up but they're good. You know, there's not 1 bad killers song :-))
