Alan Moore - The Decline of English Murder

[@VANDALMOON]

Beautiful, Mr. Moore. I could listen to an album full of such sweet ballads.

[@TheWindfull]

Love this dude. A creative magician with conscious and evocative messages in his lyrics. Bless to Alan and to other UK artists and musicians speaking out against tyranny. PJ Harvey, Massive Attack, Banksy, Radiohead, Faithless, Damion Albarn, Atoms For Peace, Asian Dub Foundation, Allflaws

She sorts out her hair at the washroom of Preston services Dries her hands under a notice that says "have you seen this child?" And she nurses her tea for one hour in the cafeteria Watching the truck drivers blind their fried eggs with the cutlery And english murder it's all over her face Just waiting until the right time the wrong lay-by There'll be a photograph With a bad 1970's fringe and a look of uncertainty Years later you'll know the name but not where you know it from And they've emptied the terraced row with compulsory purchases Reasoning that they'd make more from the ground with the people gone And so he shuffles the half a mile to the nearest post office When lads push into the queue he pretends he's not noticed them And english murder it's all over his face A low enough cold snap a high enough gas bill You'll skim the epitaphs And you'll possibly notice his name like somebody's you knew from school There'll be an off the peg verse where sad has been rhymed with dad And the houses in which they've invested their city bonuses Have increased the property prices and therefore the homelessness The scabby grey anti climb paint and withdrawn amenities In case socialising promotes anti social behaviour And english murder it's all over the place The bunches of flowers in pedestrian precincts Your average sociopath at least kills With a hammer or brick not with greed and incompetence And after two or three years they'll express remorse

One of my favourite songs!

"There'll be an off the peg verse / where 'sad' has been rhymed with 'dad'" Bleak.

[@midianpoet]

Masterpiece !

[@chicfix1]

Deep and interesting

[@Barfenschweim-gk4nv]

The link to buy this doesn't work. How do I find this, or 'Remember, remember the Fifth of November' on the internet?

[@daggersdukc]

And the words in this song have precisely summed up the reasons why Brexit happened. Because people have had enough of this shit. Unfortunately.... right problem, wrong solution. This track, and Everyday is Like Sunday by Morrissey portray things in Britain so accurately.

[@Mr.feelyFeel]

chords anyone? Im trying to playing this by hearing, cant find the chords of this beauty

[@kettlecup]

Is there a Preston Services?

[@HydroSnips]

kettlecup Yes. It is every bit as despairing and depressing as this song implies.

[@Thegenuus]

Like it

[@loislaness1]

I think the gentleman/woman/thing below means to say is 'I would like for these THING to CEASE existing'. Something that can only be cured by the Ultimate English Murder... Innit Dad?
