386. Another Little Murder (Original)

A song about domestic violence. The inspiration - and the title - comes from the book, "Just Another Little Murder", by the Australian writer, left-wing politician and footballer, Phil Cleary, which is an account of his sister's murder by a violent partner.

Lyrics:

Bloodstains on the kitchen wall,
Angry voices in the hall.
This emptiness is all you'll ever feel.
Too many fences left to mend.
You should have told him it's the end.
These are wounds you know will never heal.

...It's not the way you want to live,
...But you forgive, but you forgive.
...Begging you to take him back, he'll offer you the moon.
...Just another little murder for the tabloids coming soon.

It was the drink, it wasn't me.
I'm under pressure, don't you see.
I need you now; you know how much I care.
Remember how we used to dance?
All I ask is one more chance.
I'll never raise my hand again, I swear.

Your love lies tangled in the lies,
But it's a flame that never dies.
Remember how it hurt and how you cried.
You think that you can start again,
With all the joy, without the pain,
With all the broken vows swept to the side.

Thanks for checking it out. I don't often use the share facility as it doesn't get to all my friends, but maybe I'll do more of it for some of the songs that don't seem to get noticed.
