Killers, The - Jenny Was A Friend Of Mine Lyrics






We took a walk that night, but it wasn't the same
We had a fight on the promenade out in the rain
She said she loved me, but she had somewhere to go
She couldn't scream while I held her close
I swore I'd never let her go
Tell me what you wanna know
Oh come on, oh come on, oh come on
There ain't no motive for this crime
Jenny was a friend of mine
So come on, oh come on, oh come on

I know my rights, I've been here all day and it's time
For me to go, so let me know if it's alright
I just can't take this, I swear I told you the truth
She couldn't scream while I held her close
I swore I'd never let her go

Tell me what you wanna know
Oh come on, oh come on, oh come on
And then you whisper in my ear
I know what you're doing here
So come on, oh come on, oh come on
There ain't no motive for this crime
Jenny was a friend of mine
Oh come on, oh come on, oh come on

    I stopped listening to rock , grunge , and alternative by the time ...gin blossoms were called alternative. Aka I'm a stuck up musical prodigy that has to find music interesting. I'm 41. "Jenny was.." is a great song. It's not overproduced , it is reminiscent of equal.parts of the best of each genre. In every recreating generation. I hear Brit 60S, punk influence a la the replacements , bowie, kinks, xtc, and I don't know about the rest. But I like this song. If you feel good ..the band obtained the goal. Facts,

    A Murder Confession!!But Why??

  19. s.... o....

    A misunderstanding broke a relationship between a naive aggressor and the victim (defender) Time passes by and they meet again somewhere familiar as before they had. The naive one asks, it was a lie. The old friend says " i' d swore I had told you the truth, that is ...(2 chorus ) Asks to be excused and walks away.

    s.... o....

    Kind of like Dracula beating his destiny of love to never find again into keeping it

  20. A.... B....

    This song is really fucking eerie after you know all about the preppy case

  21. A.... A....

    2019 and still bumping this song ! (:

  22. H.... ....

    Only just realised this is a blatant rip off of Music For Chameleons 🤯

    The Preppy Killers

    D.... H....

    CRIME JUNKIE

  24. J.... ....

    Y'all should listen to Richard Marx - Hazard if you want to hear another song from the same perspective. A guy claiming he is innocent of the murder of a woman. It's slower, but it tells a very similar story.

  25. J.... W....

    I keep having these weird visions whenever I hear this song. It’s about this woman under this foldable beds like the ones you see in hospitals. That bed is covered up in a blanket. Here I am with two CAF Members entering the area seeing what’s going on.

  26. R.... R....

    R.I.P Jen🙏

    "Bitch couldn't scream when I Held her throat. I swore I'd never let her go."

  40. S.... ....

    We took a walk that night, but it wasn't the same
    We had a fight on the promenade out in the rain
    She said she loved me, but she had somewhere to go
    She couldn't scream while I held her close
    I swore I'd never let her go
    Tell me what you want to know
    Oh come on, oh come on, oh come on

    Jenny was a friend of mine
    Oh come on, oh come on, oh come on

    This song sounds so 80s! I love it!

  42. I.... D....

    ♫ Jenny was a friend of mine ♫

  43. t.... d....

    Reminds me of summer !

  44. Z.... E....

    Yes the memory's of that one road

  45. A.... ....

    That's how you open an album.

  46. A.... ....

    did he really kill her coz he didn't like her, or was it really an accident, I mean I have seen people take a real beating and survive.

  47. A.... ....

    thx to radio x , I like this song now.

  48. P.... ....

    It’s like New Order, Depeche Mode, and The Cure had a baby and made The Killers and look what they’ve done now. Simply amazing.

    P.... ....

    Well, if you watch a video by New Order for their song "Crystal", the band in that video are called the Killers so it's very probable that New Order had a part in creating the Killers.

  49. I.... S....

    Best opening to an album ever

  50. J.... R....

    All I want to do today is listen to killers songs

  51. H.... S....

    Music credit : The Smith's Barbarism B.@Home

  52. B.... !....

    Let's say that Jenny is actually the Jenny that was in my study hall and 'was a friend of mine' but wouldn't return my affections.. so I found a girl that looked like her and pretended she was Jenny when we were naked... And then told Jenny I knew what it feels like to be inside her.
    I got away with that because of I was just about as cool as Michael Valentine and my repugnant words to her weren't seen as threatening because I was attractive and was good with the other sex.
    So to make sure Jenny knew I was sick in mind about her, when her little sister developed a crush I found her at a party and in her drunken state, had my way with Jenny's sister because Jenny would never have me... (enter the climactic, Sick fucking synth that echoes between the bass riff).
    There are many untold stories about a friend named Jenny...

  53. O.... i....

    Good old stolen music. I hear this on YouTube and 3:00 to 4:04 is my ringtone so it's a steal steal situation.

    O.... i....

    What do you mean by stolen music?

    O.... i....

    ​@Frank G The killers bust their bee hives coming up with a song and spend a bunch of money honey, then some guy on the you and the tube posts the Killer's song out of left field while collecting tube money on views. How is that not stolen O Franky boy?

  54. K.... M....

    Tune! and that bass

  55. O.... P....

    Who else came here from MVE?

  56. M.... ....

    Who is here from Damon bruce

  57. c.... d....

    This song is about the frat boy killer named Robert Chamberlain who killed Jenny in Central Park

  58. J.... Q....

    It's about a murder Rihanna

  59. M.... Q....

    Dude, saw them live in Indy this past June. They played this during the pouring rain/thunder. It was epic!

  60. b.... m....

    Still bumping this shit daily

  61. M.... M....

    Honestly I think this was the best song on Hot Fuss

  62. G.... s....

    I bought this album when I was fifteen, only knowing about Mr. Brightside and Somebody Told Me. I will never forget the moment when I played the record for the first time and been knocked out by this masterpiece. love from france !

    G.... s....

    Same here. 👍😁

  63. p.... ....

    What a song!

  64. G.... B....

    This is my favorite killers song

  65. J.... ....

  66. M.... T....

    The Killers claim they didn't commit the murder.

  67. B.... ....

    📣📣📣📣

  68. J.... R....

    Drums, Bass, Voice, Motive, Sexy!!!!

  69. t.... M....

    Jennifer Levin and Robert Chambers

  70. H.... .....

    i'm here because of Emmaline

  71. M.... G....

    The smiths song is better

  72. S.... ....

    This song is really dark and depressing when you really break it down

  73. J.... W....

    I have a lot of questions in mind going on about this song but right now who is Jenny?

    J.... W....

    John Willis my teacher at school

  74. J.... W....

    What’s that sound at 0:09-0:10?

    J.... W....

    I think it's a distorted police siren. And you can kind of hear a helicopter (?).

    J.... W....

    a wild pokemon

  75. J.... H....

    What does this remind me of? Has the same rhythm as Wild Boys by Duran Duran, a better song though

  76. n.... ....

    KROQ sent me here 😂😂😂

  77. A.... E....

    I listened to thing song every time I thought about my crush, Jenny (I know what it's about, but whatever, it made me feel happy-sad). She's my Girlfriend now, turns out she liked me too. I still listen to this song every time I feel like I miss her.
    Edit: We broke up, and now I listen to this song and I sad-sad. And no, I'm not going to kill her.

    A.... E....

    RightWing SoyBoy that totally sounds like something would say if they were gonna kill someone 🤷‍♂️

  78. a.... ....

    When you listen to this song for like the tenth time and realise its about someone getting interrogated for a murder

  79. D.... c....

    PAM PAM PAM... PAM PAM

  80. f.... ....

    Arguably best bass line since ......Another one bites the dust🤘👍👌🖕✌

    f.... ....

    fur777777777 They took this from a Smith’s song

  81. A.... N....

    https://youtu.be/Sg1C8Oat9a4

  82. S.... S....

    Don't mind me, just an American Murder Song fan passing through

  83. j.... ....

    i remember at my old highschool,our english teacher had us listen to the song and write about the topic of it. was a fun day

  84. r.... L....

    I don’t think I would have guessed this song was about murder if I hadn’t come from a cover by a group called American Murder Song... 0_0 it sounds like her killed her either accidentally or out of that “I love her, if I can’t have her no one can” ideology.

  85. G.... I....

    This is why Santa wants to kill Brandon

    G.... I....

    Silent Hill duduududud

  86. D.... L....

    The Damon Bruce show brought me here

  87. C.... B....

    2018 who is still whatching this?

  88. f.... n....

    Did he do it?

  89. K.... W....

    Drum track....

  90. s.... S....

    From a mirror to an amazing song.

  91. M.... B....

    They stole this baseline from the smiths. The song barbarisms begin at home

  92. J.... S....

    I'm Jenny. I'm a bass player. There can never be too many Jenny songs especially with tasty bass lines, even if they are about murder.

    J.... S....

    J Lo - Jenny from the Block?

  93. N.... P....

    Their best album

  94. A.... ....

    I get that this song is about murder, but what I don't get is if the main character in the song killed her or if somebody else did. Can someone tell me?

    A.... ....

    The main character killed her, he's trying to cover it up by saying "Jenny was a friend of mine"

  95. A.... 0....

    Ongoing interrogation :xP

  96. M.... J....

    I came here because I had an indie rock Compilation CD when I was like 13 or 14 and this was one of the more decent songs on it.

  97. L.... ....

    Wait.... MVE?
