Murder In The Afternoon Lyrics

If you see me down the street and I forget to smile,
Don't go feeling bad for me or stop and ask me why.
Reasons that I cannot speak, the truth is deep inside,
Of all the secrets that I keep, there's one that I can't hide.

The woman that was troubling me and banging on the wall,
Has gone to rest eternally, no trouble anymore.
I placed a pillow on her face, while she was asleep,
And held it down till she lay still and no more will she weep.

Though you may abandon me, I won't desert you now,
Already I can feel the heat, the word is almost out.
I murdered my poor neighbour, regret what I have done.
Cos if I had that time agian, I would've used a gun.

Ashes scattered in the wind don't ease a worried mind,
Cos images and memories are never far behind.
