pick you up
later on
what to do?
it doesn't matter 'cause you get
what you want
through and through and if you shatter everything
that we've got
will you call me on occasion
if you like it or not, oh no
so turn it up, take me down
from the wall, it doesn't matter
'cause you get what you want after all
and now you've shattered everything that we had
and you call me on occasion just to see how I am
I'm hanging in
but now time teaches me to pretend it doesn't matter
'cause you get what you want in the end
and now you've shattered everything
he looks a bit like me
replaceable
it's cynical
call me useless; just you wait
put me down and call it fate
broken bridges, wasted hate
so just stand beside your man
double A-ron
act like I never turned you on
all I do is cry
and soon you'll find you're all alone
you call me on the telephone
who'd have thought that you'd regret
all those evil things you said
now as friends, we say goodbye
I think there's something in my eye
replaceable
it's cynical
call me useless; just you wait
put me down and call it fate
broken bridges, wasted hate
so just stand beside your man
double A-ron
act like i never turned you on
all I do is cry
and you watched me die
at least a thousand times
but it's great to hear you're doing fine
tonight, too late to fight
but you've got inside this naive head of mine
now time goes by
you knew you would
you knew you would
I need to understand
replaceable

Yeah, its DEF brandon/killers. It just sounds a bit different cos its a demo and so not produced as well as the songs & b-sides from hot fuss, just like the other demos (oh yeah by the way, waiting for love etc.) Also, it was probably recorded before hot fuss so their voices/sound might've changed, deliberately or otherwise.
About the song, I agree with loveisblind, its unusually easy to decipher unlike many of their other songs which are open to various interpretations. One thing though; is the line 'its great to hear you're doing fine' said with a hint of sarcasm?
Agree with ricardo too, the vocals, lyrics, music, everything about this song is brilliant, and its so emotionally sung. 'Replaceable' is such an apt word in these situations. I was gonna say its one of their best but seeing as I'd say that about 20 of their songs, let's just say the Killers are one talented, amazing band. God I love them.
