Les clients d’un pub de Killorglin (sud-ouest de la République d’Irlande) ont chanté ensemble l’un des nombreux tubes du groupe de rock américain pendant la veillée funèbre, une tradition irlandaise.

clients pub hommage ami mr brightside the killers

Quelques instants après les funérailles de leur pote Ger Forley (alias Farmer), les amis du défunt se sont rassemblés dans son bar préféré pour boire un verre et surtout pour chanter. L’un d’entre eux a décidé d’entonner en son honneur la chanson Mr Brightside de The Killers. Les autres clients du pub ont suivi l’homme debout sur le bar.

La chanson originale

Les paroles

I’m 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

And I just can’t look its killing me
And taking control

Jealousy, turning saints into the sea
Swimming through sick lullabies
Choking on your alibis

But it’s just the price I pay
Destiny is calling me
Open up my eager eyes
‘Cause I’m Mr Brightside

I’m 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

Cause I just can’t look its killing me
And taking control

Jealousy, turning saints into the sea
Swimming through sick lullabies
Choking on your alibis

But it’s just the price I pay
Destiny is calling me
Open up my eager eyes
‘Cause I’m Mr Brightside

I never
I never
I never
I never
