lyrics

1964 (N. Lavalier)
True sounds of terror, torture, torment, rape5
And Christmas carols crackling from the tape
His hair’s all straw and wires his eyes are dead grey
O silent night played on the radio
She sang along circa 1964
One mug shot turns to black an age as white as ghosts
They took the babies screaming, left their bodies by the road
Just give us one last scream then no more
Pallbearers took away the president
The murders started by the next day’s end
Oh poor innocents stalked by Jim Idiot
Chain-smoking they’re off in a Tudor Ford
With treasured photos from the last world war
Stopped lay-by down by Saddleworth
They took the babies screaming, left their bodies by the road
Just give us one last scream then no more

Footnote
5 See generally, the 'Moors' murders.
