I Am the Crime

An extremely unremarkable homage to a extremely remarkable song by an extremely remarkable band who made many beautiful songs which I love, and this is one of them. "I Am the Crime" by The Wolfgang Press (1986). Background vocals by Elizabeth Fraser from Cocteau Twins.

Lyrics:
"When the first dog cocked a leg, I had him shot
When the first dog cracked, I broke his back
I'm running through the river saying

Life's a lie
Life's a lie

People make such a mess
And as for me, I found the Crime inside of me (saying)

Life's a lie
Life's a lie

And with my blessing burn this down
And with my blessing burn them down
As for me it's more than this, it's restlessly.
I found the crime inside of me saying

Life's a lie
Life's a lie

Singing come to me, come to me, oh come to me
With my eyes wide open
Singing come to me, come to me, oh come to me
With my father's eyes
I am the Crime

There's nobody else, nobody else
I am the Crime
With this song in the air
My intentions were clear

She came down on a bad train
She came down on the back of me
She came down on the back of me

So my life's wrapped up in time,
Oh my life is restlessly
Oh my life is not the same
Life's a lie, life's a lie
Singing come to me, oh come to me...

I am the crime
There's nobody else, nobody else...
I am the crime"
