Evil Lyrics

woah this song does remind me of The Stranger, a LOT. This song just feels hot, all the mentions of the beach and sand and weightlessness. And in the Stranger a man kills another man basically because he's on a beach having heatstroke or something and just freaks out and shoots some guy. Then he goes to trial but his extremely lonely life that he has lived doesn't go over well with the jury. They're "sensitive to fake nods" and he's not giving any. oh! and the name of the song! Evil! in the Stranger everyone thinks this guy is Evil cuz he didnt cry at his mom funeral! ok i think i'm just talking out my ass now.

@maladjustedoor Hey mate, like the ref. By the way, reckon bohemian rhapsody is definitely inspired by the stranger (though freddie never revealed any inspirations). Man kills another man (no motif) and whilst he is experiencing his greatest and dire tribulation of the trial, for the others involved it's just another day at the office (oh you're from there, can you do the fandango?!)...
