Who Was That Man (In The Hall)
Liner Notes
Loosely inspired by a crappy murder mystery book I read over Christmas
Lyrics
Who was that man in the hall? You didn't know him at all? I know you've a secret Well you can keep it, just tell me Who was that man in the hall?
He's got a bullet in his chest Detective wants an arrest They've got me fingered Why had I lingered? He's got a bullet in his chest
Nobody's truly who they say The priest was murdered today But he's really another Your long lost brother Nobody's truly who they say
Comments
This is one of my favorite kinds of songs that come out of FAWM. I love when people just sit down with an instrument and create. This also paints a great picture of this not-so-great book. Love it!
I have a particular soft spot for songs-as-whodunnits. This one's particularly engaging. Concise, no fat whatsoever; comes in and gets the job done in under two minutes. Nice one!
