World Encyclopedia Of Twentieth Century Murder - The Lucksmiths

Around here the roofs are redder

And the houses are closer together

But the people are further apart

And it doesn’t ever really get dark

I bury myself in books

I’m very good at murderous looks

Gods knows how I can sleep

The company I keep

I keep myself amused

I keep it to myself

It’s not that I’m confused

It’s just that I can tell

It’s not a normal thing

To be interested in

But there’s nothing wrong with me

These walls are paper-thin

I can hear everything

Stock still and perfectly silent

Violently unhappy or happily violent?

I keep myself amused

I keep it to myself

It’s not that I’m confused

It’s just that I can tell

It’s not a normal thing

To be interested in

But there’s nothing wrong with me

From Jack Henry Abbott to the Red Light Bandit

From Dr Crippen to the Yorkshire Ripper

The Button and Badge Murder

The Brides in the Bath Murders

Ten Rillington Place to the Green Bicycle Case

You can’t trust anyone these days
