lyrics

I did the crime
Now I done my time
But I can't bring back sweet Caroline
And I'll be known for the rest of my life
As the man who murdered Love.

Caroline, sweet Caroline,
When I last saw her she'd become divine
The Devil took my hands and then he took her life
On the night I murdered Love

What can I say?
I ain't in prison but I’m still in chains
What do you know?You don't know nothing
Til you got no soul
And no-one ever gonna want to know
The man that murdered Love

I got some smokes from a man who tokes
He don't know me like the others know
He tells me stories I already know
About the time he murdered Love

Joanie Jo, sweet Joanie Jo
When he last saw her she was shooting dope
The Devil cooked it up and then he watched her choke
On the night he murdered Love

What can I say?
I ain't in prison but I’m still in chains
What do you know?
The chains ain't ever gonna go away, no no
What can I say?
The Devil took my soul and then he walked away yeah yeah
What do you know?
You don't know nothing
Til you got no soul
And no-one ever gonna want to know
The man .... no no no
You don't know nothing
Til you got no soul
You ain't nobody til the Devil says so
And no-one ever gonna want to know
The man that murdered Love

about

The Lantern Parade Southampton, UK

Feeling like they needed a little more light in their lives, The Lantern Parade formed in 2017, a disparate bunch, determined to deliver the goods.

Tales of love, loss, sinners and saints are beautifully told, moving seamlessly between varying musical styles - from alternative pop to raucous blues and back to a sweeping ballad ending with the whole band singing in unison.
