Somebody Told Me

The Killers · Live From The Royal Albert Hall [2009]

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 rumor ruin my moonlight



Well, somebody told me you had a boyfriend

Who looked 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 rumor ruin my moonlight



Well, somebody told me you had a boyfriend

Who looked like a girlfriend

That I had in February of last year

It's not confidential

I've got potential

Rushing, rushing around



Pace yourself for me (for me)

I said maybe, baby please

But I just don't know now (maybe, baby)

When all I wanna do is try



Well somebody told me you had a boyfriend

Who looked like a girlfriend

That I had in February of last year

It's not confidential

I've got potential

Rushing, rushing around



Somebody told me you had a boyfriend

Who looked like a girlfriend

That I had in February of last year

It's not confidential

I've got potential

Rushing, rushing around



Somebody told me you had a boyfriend

Who looked like a girlfriend

That I had in February of last year

It's not confidential

I've got potential

Rushing, rushing around

Somebody Told Me

The Killers' 'Somebody Told Me' is a high-energy rock anthem that defined the band's early sound and became a staple of their live performances. Originally recorded for the 2006 album 'Sam's Town', the track features the band's signature blend of driving guitars, soaring vocals, and a relentless rhythm that propelled them to mainstream success. Its inclusion on the 2009 'Live From The Royal Albert Hall' album highlights the song's enduring power in their concert sets, where it often serves as an explosive opener or closer. The track exemplifies the post-grunge and alternative rock influences that characterized the mid-2000s era, cementing The Killers' reputation as a dynamic live act capable of delivering stadium-filling anthems.
