The trilogy lyrics- Jenny was a friend of mine
Jenny Was A Friend Of Mine
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 I 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 I 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 believe in this song he is being interrogated by police. The first verse he is lying to them, and what they were up to that night saying "we took a walk late that night, but it wasn't the same, we had a fight on the promenade out in the rain". He trys to make it out to the police that he does not know where she has gone and trys to make himself feel better by saying "she said she loved me, but she had somewhere to go". "There ain't no motive for this crime
Jenny was a friend of mine" He is trying to tell them that he had no reason to kill her as she was his friend and repeats " oh come one" because he wants them to believe him. In the second verse I believe he is about to crack and has ran out of things to say so starts arguing with the investigators "I just can't take this, I swear I told you the truth". In the third verse I believe the person questioning him says "I know what you're doing here" meaning he knows that he killed Jenny. He then cracks and goes crazy repeating how she was a friend and how he wouldnt kill her and repeating "oh come on"

The trilogy lyrics- Midnight Show
Midnight Show
I know what you want
I wanna take you a midnight show tonight
If you can keep a secret
I got a blanket in the back seat of my mind
And a little place that sits beneath the sky
She turned her face to speak
But no-one heard her cry
I drive faster, boy
I drive faster, boy
I know there's a hope
There's too many people trying to help me cope
You got a real short skirt
I wanna look up, look up, look up, yeah yeah
We were just in time
Let me take a little more off your mind
There's something in my head
Somewhere in the back said
We were just a good thing
We were such a good thing
Make it go away without a word
But promise me you'll stay
...
Oh make it go away!
I drive faster, boy
I drive faster, boy
Oh crashing time can't hide a guilty girl
With jealous hearts that start with blossom curls
I took my baby's breath beneath the chandelier
Of stars in atmosphere
And watch her disappear
Into the midnight show...
Oh faster, faster, faster...
Oh no no no no no...
If you keep a secret
Well baby... you can keep a secret
If you keep a secret...
I believe the first verse of this song is talking about the location of the murder."I know what you want" meaning that he knows Jenny does not want to be with him and break up with him, but "I wanna take you a midnight show tonight", the "midnight show" being the actual murder. "If you can keep a secret"is being ironic as when she is dead she is not actually going to be able to tell anyone what happened. " she turned her face to speak
but no-one heard her cry I drive faster, boy I drive faster, boy " I believe this is the actual murder and he says no one heard her scream when he kills her and then he has to drive away fast to get away from the scene of the murder. I believe in the rest of the song he is going more and more insane and has actually realised what he has done and trys to reassure himself that no body will find out what happened "Oh faster, faster, faster...Oh no no no no no...If you keep a secret Well baby... you can keep a secret If you keep a secret..."

The trilogy lyrics- Leave the bourbon on the shelf
Leave the bourbon on the shelf
Shakin' like the Devil when she lets me go
Got a new place, and how it's so much better
Falling over myself, the televisions' on,
I turn it off and smile
Oh, Jennifer, you know I always tried
Before you say goodbye
Leave the bourbon on the shelf
And I'll drink it by myself
And I love you endlessly,
Darling don't you see I'm not satisfied
Until I hold you tight
Give me one more chance tonight
And I swear I'll make it right
But you ain't got time for this
And that wreckin' bell is ringin'
And I'm not satisfied
Until I hold you
Jennifer, tell me where I stand
And who's that boy holdin' your hand?
Oh, Jennifer, you know I always tried
Before you say goodbye
Leave the bourbon on the shelf
And I'll drink it by myself
And I never liked your hair or those people that you lie with
But I'm not satisfied
Until I hold you tight
And I love you endlessly,
Darling don't you see I can't be satisfied
Until I hold you tight
Leave the bourbon on the shelf
And I'll drink it by myself
And I love you endlessly,
Darling don't you see
I'm not satisfied
From these lyrics I can make out that the main character has caught or suspected his girlfriend cheating on him. You can tell he gets angry because it starts with "shakin' like the Devil when she lets me go". Brandon ( the lead singer) sounds very depressed when he sings the last few lines of the song and its like the main character is in denial of what has happened, "im not satisfied". The main character I believe has also turned to alcohol to comfort himself. He trys to make himself feel better by insulting her hair and the people that she likes. Also the "shakin' like the Devil when she lets me go" could refer to him not having enough alcohol in his system and gets the "shakes".
