| "Help me through the hopeless haze" to me means confusion. "Tragic eyes / I can't even recognize myself behind" seems to be about perceptions of the world and what it means about yourself. "Why aren't you shaking / Step back in time / Graciously taken / Oh you're too kind" seems to be his shock that someone cares about him. "We're all the same / And love is blind / The sun is gone / Before it shines", to me this meant an unconventional love, that love doesn't have to be like you expect. "And I said if the answer is no / Can I change your mind?" gives away the meaning of the song, it's his rejecting someone else, trying to go in his own separate way. I actually placed this in the chronology of Hot Fuss as when the narrator fell in love with Andy, realised it was mutual but then rejected him, shortly before being "On Top" in love with Jenny. | |

| This song is only on the North American version of Hot Fuss, but it is available as a b-side elsewhere. Listening to the acoustic version, Brandon annunciates the words a bit better. It is indeed "Racy days", and it goes "Why aren't you shaken? Sent back and signed Graciously taken Oh you're too kind" I think it's simply about a guy who wants er... something ... from a girl, and she doesn't want to, and he's trying to persuade her to let him do whatever it is he wants to do. But the something could just be an "I love you" but I'm thinking it's something a bit more physical, as it "starts to show". But I'm sure we can all agree with Rizo ( | |
