Cover art for Murder lyrics by David Gilmour

I always thought this song was directed at Roger Waters. That Waters had metaphorically killed Pink Floyd, and Gilmour was striking back.

Regardless, this song has one of the greatest couplets in rock: "Did you get rid of the voices in your head? Do you now miss them and the things that they said?"

This song was written about John Lennon's murder. The weapon used in the song was changed from a gun to a knife.

Otherwise the song would have started to sound a little to much like the scene in the Godfather. Michael kills the two guys in the restaurant and throws down the gun.

Other than that it draws a fairly accurate portrayal of the night John Lennon was assasinated.
