TOP 5 QUICKIE

My Very Favorite Top 5 Songs About Murder (or Scary Shit!)
(Not that nice Tears in Heaven stuff)

1. Jigsaw Girl - The Toadies

"Give me your hand and I will hold it forever
On my nightstand in a box with your love letters
I love you dear, and I know we will not be parted
I'll keep you near, scattered around my apartment"

2. Jenny Was A Friend of Mine - The Killers

"We took a walk that night, but it wasn't the same
We had a fight on the promenade out in the rain
She said she loved me, but she had somewhere to go
She couldn't scream while I held her close
I swore I'd never let her go " ( alternative version says - She kicked and screamed as I held her throat - which I prefer!)

3. The Intruder - Peter Gabriel

"I know something about opening windows and doors
I know how to move quietly to creep across creaky wooden floors
I know where to find precious things in all your cupboards and drawers
Slipping the clippers, Slipping the clippers through the telephone wires
The sense of isolation inspires, Inspires me
I like to feel the suspense when I'm certain you know I am there
I like you lying awake, your baited breath charging the air
I like the touch and the smell of all the pretty dresses you wear
Intruders happy in the dark
Intruder come, Intruder come and leave his mark, leave his mark"


4. Maxwell's SIlver Hammer - The Beatles

"But as she's getting ready to go,
A knock comes on the door.
Bang! Bang! Maxwell's silver hammer
Came down upon her head.
Bang! Bang! Maxwell's silver hammer
Made sure that she was dead."


5. Posed To Death - The Faint

" I feel a warm resistance
Beneath the outer layer
What once moved living organs
Leaks through a thin veneer
Blue blooded royal body
Elegantly posed to death "
