THEORY TIME: All of Hot Fuss is the murder story. Let me explain 1. Andy, you're a star: from the point of view of Jenny. She tells Andy that she loves him and reveals that he doesn't have any other real connection than with Jenny. "Andy you're a star, in nobody's eyes but mine. 2. Leave the Bourbon On The Shelf: She breaks up with him. "Oh Jennifer, you know I always tried/Darling don't you see I'm not satisfied until I hold you tight" 3. Smile Like You Mean It: Andy trying to cope with the breakup "Smile Like You Mean It / And someone will drive her around down the same streets that I did" 4. Mr. Brightside: He starts creeping on her. "Now they're going to bed and my stomach is sick / but she's touching his chest / I just can't look it's killing me" 5. Somebody Told Me: He meets up with Jenny and tells her about her new boyfriend and proceeds to mock him and prepares for the midnight show "Somebody told me you had a boyfriend who looked like a girlfriend / Pace yourself for me I said maybe baby please." 6. Change Your Mind: Right before the killing as he tries to reason with her, but ultimately makes the final decision "So if the answer's no can I change your mind / We're all the same and love is blind the sun is gone before it shines 6. Midnight Show: He proceeds to kill her "With jealous hearts that start with gloss and curls I took my baby's breath beneath the chandelier Of stars in atmosphere and watched her disappear" 7.On Top: He watches her die "Your body's shaking and it's clear You really need it, so let go / I look at you and smile because I'm fine now." 8. Jenny Was A Friend Of Mine: The police start to question him and he gives his alibi. They don't seem to believe him: There ain't no motive for this crime Jenny was a friend of mine / 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 / And then you whisper in my ear "I know what you're doing here" " 9. All These Things That I've Done: Andy starts to panic. "These changes ain't changing me The cold-hearted boy I used to be / You know you've gotta help me out " 10. Everything Will Be Alright: He starts to relax and plans on his escape. "I'm coming to find you if it takes me all night Wrong until you make it right And I won't forget you At least I'll try and run, and run tonight Everything will be alright" -- The only thing that isn't clear is Believe Me, Natalie. From my interpretation of the lyrics, Natalie could be an accomplice in the murder. So he calls her and tells her to run away. But it doesn't seem to make sense as he asks for her help in All These Things That I've Done. "This is your last chance to find a go-go dance to disco now Forget what they said in Soho, leave the "Oh, no"s out And believe me, Natalie, listen, Natalie, This is your last chance" This is the only missing part of the puzzle. -- THEORY 2: Here's a lyric from Mr. Brightside and one from Midnight Show: "And it's all in my head but she's touching his chest / I got a blanket in the back seat on my mind" So Jenny's murder is all in Andy's head and he imagines how it would unfold. Then, the Believe Me Natalie mystery could be justified by the fact that he's not sure how the story would ho. I don't know if this is true, but it is mindblowing. This video and Licia Martins comment helped me figure this out.
