Oracle (Gibraltar) - Murder In The Street: Lyric help needed

Warepire · Post by **Warepire** » Wed Jul 06, 2011 9:36 pm

Could use some help getting the lyrics for this song, I can hear the most of it but not all and as there are no CD reissues of the album except from the Hot Metal Records bootleg which don't have any lyrics my hope is that someone has better hearing than me or have a lyric sheet with the original LP. I can provide a rip of the bootleg CD reissue if needed.

What is left is marked with question marks in brackets and some questions.

Here is what I got so far:
It's the same old story, the same old lies
Not to worry, people die
There's no mercy, can't you see?
One way blood will spill
They where strangers in a land
Lots of victims in their hands
Called unjust, so confused
What would happen if the blood was [???] << Is this line correct at all?
It's the same old feeling of compromise
They keep on playing with our lives
Got to stop them, won't you please?
Shoot to kill

It's just like murder, murder in the street
I said murder! Murder in the street
I said MURDER! A murder in the streets
Murder in the street

It's the same old story, the same old lies
Not to worry, people die
There's no mercy, can't you see?
One way blood will spill
Even children have no chance
[??????] crazy plan
One shot from their guns << Is this line correct at all?
They will realize they've been [????]
It's the same old feeling of compromise
They keep on playing with our lives
Got to stop them, won't you please?
Shoot to kill

It's just like murder, murder in the streets
I said murder! Murder in the street

I said MURDER! murder in the streets
MURDER!

**guitar solo**

I said MURDER! A murder in the streets
I said MURDER! A murder in the streets
I said MURDER!
Murder in the streets
MURDER!

I have the LP, but I'm not home right now, though, luckily I had a photo of the lyric sheet on my laptop

It's the same old story, same old lies
Not to worry, people die
There's no mercy, can't you see
I.R.A. blood will spill
They were strangers in our land
Lives of victims in our hands
Call of justice so confused
What would happen if the bomb was fused
It's the same old feeling of compromise
They keep on playing with our lives
Got to stop them, won't you please
S.A.S. shoot to kill

Murder, murder in the streets, in the streets

Even children had no chance
All formed part of this crazy plan
They were shot, found no guns
Didn't realise what they'd become

Murder, murder in the streets, in the streets

Thank you so much Daniel!

I see I didn't hear as good as I thought I did

No problem. Sometimes it can be near impossible to hear the right words no matter how many times it's listened to

That happens to be my favorite tune off this album. Thanks for these lyrics!
