The Killers - 'When You Were Young'

I caught the video yesterday, and for some reason, the lyrics struck me differently this time. It seems to me, that there is some homo/queer context.

There was some debate whether or not Brandon Flowers was a 'mo, but I guess he's Mormon, and married. But that's not really saying much. [Hello, Tom Haggard.]

There were the gay lyrics on 'Andy You're A Star', and the sexually ambiguous 'Somebody Told Me'. Then of course, there is 'Mr. Brightside', which sounds like a sequel to 'Andy', in that the lyrics could be intrepreted as jealousy of a chick, that is kissing the guy, the narrator wants.

So not only does the video for 'Young', have a young girl as the center plot point, in context of religion, and homosexuality [at least when it comes to priests and altar boys], it can change the tone of this song:

'They say the devil's water, it ain't so sweet
You don't have to drink right now
But you can dip your feet
Every once in a little while

You sit there in your heartache
Waiting on some beautiful boy to
To save you from your old ways
You play forgiveness
Watch it now here he comes

He doesn't look a thing like Jesus
But he talks like a gentleman
Like you imagined when you were young
(He talks like a gentlemen, like you imagined when)
When you were young'

I'm going to have to listen to 'Bones' again.
