Dan Liebke's Astonishing Tales

Buy on Amazon

One of the things people like the most about The Killers’ track All These Things I’ve Done is the catchy refrain ‘I’ve got soul, but I’m not a soldier’ which is echoed back and forth. These lyrics add poignance and a certain level of sophistication to the song. Certainly much more than the original lyrics ‘I’ve got lice, but I’m not a licensed vendor of new and used motor vehicles in the state of Idaho’. A triumph for second drafts.
