Robert Street is in St. Paul, MN. Diane Edwards worked at a Perkins restaurant on Robert Street and was abducted, raped and murdered by Joseph Ture shortly after leaving work one night in 1980.
@Laggard thanks for the info. Now the song makes so much more sense. The final lyrics “but it’s all over now and with my knife” make clear it’s about killing someone he liked. Just wondering how a band from North Ireland was aware of something that happened in the USA in 1980. Wonder if it’s been on international news…

@Laggard no. Husker Du from St Paul wrote the song. That’s how they knew about the murder. The guy who murdered her didn’t know her. She was just an unlucky random victim he snatched from the street.

@Laggard Just found out the original version is by St. Paul Minnesota band Husker Du. It all makes sense now.
