Liner Notes

Well, it turns out it was the only film I actually saw in the Cinema last year, so an easy choice. I thought Timmy Chamalamadingdong was very good, btw

Lyrics

He was a complete unknown They found his body by the broken crane Down by the docks on the edge of the water No one knows what he was doing there

An investigation’s sure to follow But no one has high hopes A poster campaign on the lampposts They’re just going through the motions

Without a face it’s hard to know for sure Without hands no finger tips After so much time in the water They’re gonna need some fancy scientific tricks

Statements that say nothing much They’ll be following up some leads If you have any information You know how to get in touch

He was a complete unknown We still don’t know what he was doing Down by the docks so late at night A complete unknown A complete unknown

What a scene you've painted here! I really like the storyteller sing-song effect you've achieved, nice skirmish!

Good sounding track that supports the dark lyric. Good storytelling.

I'm not following the film scene so much lately, but did hear about this one. I like the way you took the title and wrote a different story. Well-told story and the music fits as well. Nicely done.

Nice prose! I was just listening along, my mind guessing what next rhyme would be, and to my delight, I was always dead wrong. Usually, it was because there wasn't a rhyme at all, but the lyrics are so packed with poetry, you didn't need a rhyme at all. And the imagery! chef's kiss

Mean, moody , magnificent! Great song, I reaklly enjoyed it.

@scruffyblues 1d

Oh this was handled so beautifully, so cool yet chilling. Difficult to articulate how good it is so I'll just shut up and enjoy it. Thanks for sharing this

Nice! It would be easy for a song like this to go over the top on the sadness. You balance things really well, making something that is haunting and catchy.

Brilliant!

Fantastic song that captures the sorrow and mystery so well of the untimely and uncertain death of an unknown…. The music vibe is perfect and the lyrics are superb. Great take on the title!

Sad, and shocking ... that no one is sad OR shocked. That third verse is pretty gritty, and quite true to life if you've ever had the misfortune to find such a body.
