The Killing Room


January 2022

I think 'The Killing Room' was written in 2012.

The video was made with iMovie, using clips from a holiday in Prague.

The Killing Room

©John Allen/Richard Varey

They caught it in the photograph
Front page, local news
Lipstick on a broken glass
A pair of blood stained shoes

Powder on the tablecloth
Flowers on the floor
Looks like Jackson Pollock
Painted red across the door

Ooh
So now we’re really through
What was I supposed to do
You kill me
So darling
I kill you

They didn’t show the scream you made
Or the way you lied to me
They didn’t show the heartbreak
How easily we bleed

Ooh
So now we’re really through
What was I supposed to do
You kill me
So darling
I kill you
