Blood On The Tracks

Blood On The Tracks
Clearly they were never a match made in heaven. The song tells the story of a killer who bumps into his ex-lover in hell and was not expecting to see her there. With a band name like Megadeth, it’s almost a given that they’ll have explored themes of murder.

Megadeth – Loved to Death. Nick supposedly spent many years trying to write the perfect song for Kylie, before deciding on this…Kylie, wherever you are - we’d be worried!! Teaming up with Kylie Minogue, ‘Where The Wild Roses Grow’ is set post-murder in the format of a dialogue between murderer and victim. It’s no great surprise that the man responsible for ‘Murder Ballads’ – an entire album dedicated to gruesome killings, made the cut.

Nick Cave and Kylie Minogue – Where the Wild Roses Grow. You are essentially given a step-by –step instruction guide on committing a murder, which perhaps is a tad ironic, coming from a band called The Police The Police – Murder By Numbers The title of the song is pretty self explanatory. Murder and mayhem are not the usual subjects for songwriters however we've unearthed ten of the best so here's some harrowing tunes for you to get your teeth into.
