Blue Murder

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? --- Blue Murder - Tom Robinson Band
