There’s a whole lot of music that I really like right now. Just today, was listening to the radio at the office and heard “Somebody Told Me” by The Killers. Really fun song. Jasmine said it sounds like something she heard at 80’s night at this club in Pittsburgh. So, the question is – is this a cover of an 80’s song, or is it an original by The Killers.

Island Records has a cool eCard for them, which plays the song, go and listen to it here.

And here’s a link to their CD on Amazon.com.

And the lyrics..

The Killers – Somebody Told Me

Breaking my back just to know your name
Seventeen tracks and I’ve had it with this game
I’m breaking my back just to know your name
But heaven ain’t close in a place like this
Anything goes but don’t blink you might miss
Cause heaven ain’t close in a place like this
I said heaven ain’t close in a place like this
Bring it back down, bring it back down tonight
Never thought I’d let a rumour ruin my moonlight

Well somebody told me
You had a boyfriend
Who looks like a girlfriend
That I had in February of last year
It’s not confidential
I’ve got potential

Ready? Let’s roll onto something new
Taking its toll and I’m leaving without you

Cause heaven ain’t close in a place like this
I said heaven ain’t close in a place like this
Bring it back down, bring it back down tonight
Never thought I’d let a rumour ruin my moonlight

Well somebody told me
You had a boyfriend
Who looks like a girlfriend
That I had in February of last year
It’s not confidential
I’ve got potential
A rushin’, a rushin’ around

Pace yourself from me
I said maybe baby please
But I just don’t know now

Maybe baby and
All I wanna do is try

Somebody told me
You had a boyfriend
Who looks like a girlfriend
That I had in February of last year
It’s not confidential
I’ve got potential
A rushin’, a rushin’ around

Somebody told me
You had a boyfriend
Who looks like a girlfriend
That I had in February of last year
It’s not confidential
I’ve got potential
A rushin’, a rushin’ around

Somebody told me
You had a boyfriend
Who looks like a girlfriend
That I Had in February Of last year
It’s not confidential
I’ve got potential
A rushin’, a rushin’ around
