Tom Robinson Band - Blue Murder lyrics

rate me

He wasn't a loony with a sawn-off gun

A dangerous terrorist on the run

He'd never been mugging or molested a nun

He was really quite a regular guy

Six pints sober in the club one night

He started to argue with the law outside -

Gets arrested and his hands are tied

Liddley-die...

Lie lie lie diddley lie

Die die die Liddley die

Well they kicked him far and they kicked him wide

He was kicked outdoors, he was kicked inside

Kicked in the front and the back and the side

It really was a hell of a fight...

He screamed blue murder in the cell that night

But he must have been wrong cos they all deny it

Gateshead station - police and quiet

Liddley-die...

Lie lie lie diddley lie

Die die die Liddley die

It was eight to one and the one man died

But the coroner said he was satisfied

Killing Liddle was justified

He really was a desperate man...

So if you figure on staying alive

Button your lip and just swallow your pride

And don't make trouble when your hands are tied

Liddley-die...

Lie lie lie diddley lie

Why why why Liddley die?
