Ok, so the speculation about the Murder Trilogy goes as follows:

The Trilogy of songs goes in this order: Leave the Bourbon on the Shelf, Midnight Show, Jenny Was a Friend of Mine.

Because we don't know what happenes in Leave The Bourbon on the Shelf, we have to speculate the storyline...Jenny is this guy's girlfriend (we named him James at the Killers thread ).

Jenny and James ( ) were in love, but because she cheats on him, they break up. Jenny moves out, and something that Brandon said got this thing started where people began thinking that Jenny takes everything, but that James asks her to "Leave the Bourbon on the Shelf" (hence title name ).

Further speculation is that when James hears that Jenny is still with her lover, he gets really really drunk (on the bourbon ), and that he follows her out somewhere far away...on a dark and stormy night. Somewhere near the sea, and a promenade...

And they have a fight. The fight takes a nasty drunken turn, and James ends up choking her (when in concert, Brandon does a choking motion during Midnight Show when he sings "I took my baby's breath beneath the chandelier, of stars and atmosphere" ). We think this a spontaneous, drunken thing because in the song he says "There ain't no motive for this crime," which implies it wasn't premeditated. She dies of course, and he doesn't know what to do with the body. So he wraps her up in a blanket ("I've got a blanket and a backseat on my mind") and dumps her into the ocean! ("the crashing tide can't hide a guilty girl").

We think Jenny and James broke up BEFORE he kills her because he does say "Jenny was a FRIEND" of mine, and it makes sense with the Bourbon and the drunken random murder...

But the boys are teases and won't let us listen to the first song u til the next album, and only then will we know the full story for sure.

Midnight Show - James is avoiding the cops ("drive faster boy!" )

Jenny Was a Friend of Mine: - James is confessing his crime.

*We named the guy James becuase The Killers wanted to make a movie/video of sorts, and have the killer guy be James Spader. And Jenny and James has a lovely alliteration to it...don't you think?

I hope this explanation was helpful!
