Cora Crippen was a stage performer who openly had affairs; she even cuckolded Dr. Crippen with a border staying in their own home. Although both Dr. Crippen and his wife were unfaithful to each other, it was widely believed that Cora's affairs could have been a motive for her murder.
Police found human remains buried in the cellar of Crippen's house, and Cora was believed to be the victim - although modern DNA analysis has cast doubt on this belief. Cora's stage name was "Belle Elmore" (beautiful moor).
I love the gruesome word-play that follows" "Torn wallpaper / Have the walls got ears here?"
I owned the cassette version of Lionheart for many years before I ever had a lyrics sheet - with Kate's affected accent, I really couldn't understand a word of this song. It was fun to finally get the lyrics years later and unravel what this weird song is about.
"...pictures of Crippen / lipstick smeared ..."
