Police, The - Murder By Numbers Lyrics

People literally sacrifice their own FAMILY members for fame and fortune and this song says it all #Gematria

"You can bump off every member of your family And anybody else you find a bore" ????????? This doesn't raise a red flag to the people who claim to love this song? I can't believe how much I'm our faces this stuff really is, shit is crazy.

#Gematria

The fuck has this got to do with Kobe Bryant?

Well, we HOPE it’s tongue-in-cheek, right ???

Where’s the guy who posts the lyrics?

Celebrities suicided by the numbers.

Or maybe, and I know this was crazy, they were just counting the first 3 numbers because it’s some considered “easy” and it would be easy to things rhyme with

@PossiblyACryptid lol. The song is called "Murder By Numbers". lmao. How much more can they shove in your face. Jesus Christ

1:34 for some odd reason I always hear: "Fuck your unconscious body youuuu much less" xD

Came here after hearing Sting sing "Every Breath You Take" for the umpteenth time and had to hear something harder. Relief.

signing off with a song about the occult, that's why I love The Police

Once that you've decided on a killing
First you make a stone of your heart
And if you find that your hands are still willing
Then you can turn a murder into art

There really isn't any need for bloodshed
You just do it with a little more finesse
If you can slip a tablet into someone's coffee
Then it avoids an awful lot of mess

It's murder by numbers, one, two, three
It's as easy to learn as your ABC's
It's murder by numbers, one, two, three
It's as easy to learn as your ABC's

Now if you have a taste for this experience
If you're flushed with your very first success
Then you must try a twosome or a threesome
You'll find your conscience bothers you much less

Because murder is like anything you take to
It's a habit-forming need for more and more
You can bump off every member of your family
And anybody else you find a bore

Because it's murder by numbers, one, two, three
It's as easy to learn as your ABC's
Murder by numbers, one, two, three
It's as easy to learn as your ABC's

Now you can join the ranks of the illustrious
In history's great dark hall of fame
All our greatest killers were industrious
At least the ones that we all know by name

But you can reach the top of your profession
If you become the leader of the land
For murder is the sport of the elected
And you don't need to lift a finger of your hand

Because it's murder by numbers, one, two, three
It's as easy to learn as your ABC's
Murder by numbers, one, two, three
It's as easy to learn as your A, B, C, D, E
1, 2, 3, A, B, C
1, 2, 3, A, B, C
1, 2, 3, A, B, C

Because it's murder by numbers, one, two, three
It's as easy to learn as your ABC
Murder by numbers, one, two, three
It's as easy to learn as your A, B, C, D, E

02/02/2020 coming up, if a celebrity dies this Sunday then that's definitely a red flag, especially if they're linked to basketball 👌

"who's here because of ..........." damn I'm tired of that stupid question? Who cares! What are you trying to achieve, a sense of community? WTF!

RIP Kobe. Killed by the sickness of Hollywood

sometimes shit just falls out of the sky.... check into gravity.

Kobe Bryant

Kobe Bryant, Murdered by the numbers. #Gematria

*Yes you came here from ZACH TOO hehe GEMATRIA BABY*

@1EccentricMoFo pretty much all comments under a year are from Gematria videos

#Gematria

The number then caught up with Kobe smh

*Gematria Zach too hey me too*

Thx Copycat 🤪

I came here because my dad loved the police, its such a great song! He passed away three years ago...he was good at everything, but his taste in music was always flawless!

Do you realize that this song is about ritual murders using gematria

@Vin Jah  @Vin Jah  Do you realize that you're a gullible idiot who believes others when they tell you that this song is about ritual murder? #conspiracytheoristsaretherealsheeple

Im sorry to hear about your Dad... but his memory will live on through you!! 😎

So so madam brought me here. Stay woke

Anyone else coming from the movie *Copycat* with Weaver and Holly Hunter?

Sting is awesomely talented.

Rick Beato got me here.

Stewart Copeland ladies and gentlemen.....

Sting, Stewart and Andy ladies and gentlemen!!!

I was NOT hear because of Rick Beato... I was here because of 80/20 Drummer, from his video on his favourite Stewart Copeland beats :) I was, however, rather chuffed to know that he had done a video on this brilliantly written song. :)

The psychos shall inherit the earth said all gods.

Stewart Copeland absolutely KILLING it in this song. Murder you could say ;)

gematria

*Yes ZACHARY HUBBARD hehe me too*

Ask Donald

Copeland did the drums in the dining room?

U can turn murder into art murder by numerology song on zodiac kabal murder by numbers it as 123 abcççccccc s

Juliana Hatfield stole this

*Ooh yeah*

This would be a great theme song for all "our" school shootings. You know murder by numbers 123 it's as easy to learn as your *ABC's".

Stop smoking corn husks, stupid.

@R Diaz no offence but I don't get it

*GEMATRIA BABY ZACH H*

GEMATRIA....THE KILLING NAME

Murder equals 83, the year this song came out. Interesting.

*Yeeeeees Zachy boy*

This song makes me wildly happy.🖤

I'm here because it's 2019 & I love this song & the lyrics!

honestly, i'm here because of tha taylor hawkins "masterclass" interview. nonetheless, yup, i agree with the drums here. it's really cool.

Still love this song. Used to bop around to this in 1980-1 🔥💯

I'm bopping around to it in 2019. In my undies. In the dark.

Where's the instrumental version?

All drummers should wrap their heads ,round this.

Zachary Hubbard

*HELL MOTHERAFUKIN YEAH YOU KNOW IT GEMATRIA*

The United States of America should substitute this song with their National Anthem. The lyrics are fucking sick as hell. What sane person would love listening to this?

Who else is here because of Zachary K. Hubbard?

Who gives a F(&_#?

@Snackz after Hours Fake crash site...looks like Shanksville...

Who bought the album in 1983?

*TOATLLY DUDE ZACHS THE MAN GEMATRIA BABY*

@Snackz after Hours
*I think he still alive mate* *I think they are hoax deaths*

Here bc of Copycat

Prodigal Son....some songs won't die..I love it!

I came here because of Prodigal son:)

I came here because it's the Police, one of the most innovative rock bands in my lifetime.

*ZACHARY HUBBARD*

Underrated great cut.

and it still some mfs think its just a song..

MUSIC DAT BANG unfortunately yep.

I'm woke I KNOW WHAT IT MEANS

Synchronicity too lol how many clues do you need before looking into kabbalahistic dark arts of gematria etc

I need to hear accapella

LOOK UP THE LYRICS ON GOOGLE.

Just look up the lyrics fam

Have the lyrics scared anyone else......

Why would you be afraid? Your ancestors were slaughtered like 123 yet they still fought

"Prodigal Son" sent me...go figure

flashoftruth Who is that ?

Here because So So Madame sent me...

Yep. Me too

Same Here

*ZACHARY HUBBARD GEMATRIA*

Who is here because of 80/20 Drummer? I am hahaha

They made some good sounds

Stewart Copeland, in my humble opinion, is one of the greatest rock drummers of all time!

@Ze Rubenator Phil Collins is certainly among the great ones. For myself, I'm torn between Larry Mullen and Roger Taylor when it comes to drummers, and neither seems to get the recognition they deserve.

He's definitely one of the best known drummers, as well as influential. The thing is, he's not a "Rock" drummer. That makes it more incredible, as the Police were putting out #1 hits, using Reggae beats.

Easily.

I agree, except for the "Rock" part. He was a Reggae drummer, but did play some punk, as well as Rock.
There's a Walking on the Moon drum cover, by Bubinga Basher. He just started doing drum covers, but Walking on the moon is as close as I've seen to the studio version. I just checked that out, being a drummer myself

Its hard to beat Topper Headon of the Clash
The guy played Rock, Calypso, Reggae, Pop, Punk, Latino, Jazz, etx, etc
If you don't know him, check my playlist
"Sandinista, best of

I hope this song eventually pops up in Mindhunter as it gears further into the 80s.

That intro to the 2nd season was goddamn chilling.

The first time I ever heard this song was in the movie Copy Cat. An incredible movie!!!

1983 non-album b-side to 'Every Breath You Take' and a bonus track on the 'Synchronicity' cassette and maybe CD(?)

Yes it's on the CD. One of my favorite tracks on the album :)

funny thing is that in 1983 all these PMRC , devil worshippers, suicides to music by ozzy osbourne but this song was NEVER blamed!!!

MichaelHansenFUN coincidence

you only knew this tune if you had the album .. never radio played

That's because Tipper Gore is retarded.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Thanks !!!

The police my favorite band of the univers

They should have used this song on Dexter.

@Tucker Rotz Well then do you think they are being too literal using that on Prodigal Son?

@Valerie S Yes, since basically every tv show is catered to the lowest common denominator of intelligence. No thinking involved.

@Tucker Rotz I agree with what you said but you said it in the most douchebag way.

@joker Rorschach Sure thing, "Joker Rorschach", why do people like you latch on to stupid pop culture garbage like that? Stop worshipping brands, anarchy boy.

Of course!

It was a bonus track on the cassette- I returned the LP to get the tape, not understanding why I'd pay the same amount of money for less music.

Supremacy II.

Thank you Rick !

That time change fucks with my head. Thanks Rick Beato.

Who is here because of Rick Beato?

@VampireJohan888 same man!

Glad he's turning people onto classic songs like this

James E
Not me, he don't like Bass.
And I do fingering 😎
Here are my credentials.

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLVHR-cFCuSKSKbXBrNkmITYgDHH_IfsmI

I'm here because i'm a fan since the album came out, real fans are here because they are fans!

Love it when I think I found the 1 beat and I'm wrong. Van Halen's Right Now is off by a sixteenth. They even say so in the lyrics.

Shows you just how tight these guys were. This is a live take, and they just keep switching from 3/4 to 4/4 and back.

The most challenging part to keep track of is Stewart Copeland switching the spot of the kick.

Your best bet to count is to follow the chord changes and match them to what the drums are doing.

Even though everybody say it's 12/8 I'd simply consider them triplets, so count "1 2 3 4" ;)
What I suggest is start counting right from the first cymbal (1), through bass drum (2 & 4).
Then you have pre-verse bar (0:17) where he varies bass placing but it comes back on 2 & 4 during the verse. Pauses on 0:38 and is back 2&4 again.
Chorus simply goes to our usual 1&3 bass drum + 2&4 snare drum and I'd say that's the whole philosophy of the time signature here.
If you still can't spot it - listen to the chorus, "one, two, three" are aligned perfectly to this count.


King of pain is much trickier for me :<

@Michał Kozal Spirits in the material world is another weird one. It's a reggae beat but doesn't sound like it to me. On Sting's demo it's clearer to me where the beats are.

@Matt Foley pattern (2&4 on verse, 1&3 on chorus) is the same, but the preroll and synths throw me off…

Mockery shoved so close to our ears and no one seems to notice.
News, sports, politics and entertainment is contrived every single day to keep us divided, scared and subdued to the cabalistic agenda THEY create
#ZacharyKHubbard

Exactly

Hahaha. Nah it's life baby! The great unwashed ,the mob are STUPID ,APATHETIC and ask only for Bread and Circuses.
The "powers " that be exist by virtue of delivery of the Bread and the Circus. The ignorance of the MOB ensures this will always be LIFE.
SINCE "civilization " of our species this is our lot in life. It will always be so.
The strong/weak,rich/poor.....
Our denial of our animal nature doesn't negate it's existence in us.
All animals need 9nly food ,shelter and a chance to procreate. Warm home ,full belly and a mate... you can keep any dog on the porch.

It's only getting worse by the minute....

Mitch ea'tt ee Facts

What a bunch of judge mental little bitches lol !!!!!! WoW it’s always amazing how ppl transcribe lyrics into something they arnt! Try being a musician who’s trying to entertain and bring joy to ppl. Lyrics are nothing more then a vocal instrument after the real musicians who make the music. Fucking ppl look way to fucking deep into shit and blast their opinions on what it means when they have no part of it. Ever think why the lyrics are so open? Of course not because you guys are so smart , gimmie a break you silly fucks. Stop looking into the shit like it means something, because it dosent....... if you really knew what it was about It would dry your wet dreams you ignorant fucks. Yes please look into what I said like you do lyrics to a song ! Don’t be ass hats yet I’m sure to hear your liberal cries ....

Anybody here because:
#1) of the ad for new show “Prodigal Son” coming in Sept - heard it & thought “well, that’s a ‘catchy’ tune I could get down to”?;
#2) you were around when it was released, brings you back to the ‘80’s & think - “What a GREAT SONG & TIME”?;
or #3) all of the above??
(PS- If you think my answer is #3 - you’d be right! It’s sometimes the “obscure little ditties” that I think: “WOW! It’s been a minute since I heard this & makes listening to this almost like it’s brand new & become part of my repertoire”- again! ;) )

Nop. I'm here because of the new Rick Beato's Video :)

Here because of Rick Beato and it's a good song

I was fortunate enough to see the police on the synchronicity tour in Baton Rouge many years ago. I remember thinking at the time that I had never been to a concert with as many beautiful women crammed into one spot. It was only outdone by a ZZ Top show in Biloxi not long after that.

Here for the add pluse The Police are one of my favorite bands

I choose 2 and 3.Listen like its new.

Slowly listen to these dark satanic lyrics and wickedness going on in the industry of Hollywood and music industry.

@Stiles Johnson Yes indeed its crazy!! And these lyrics really struck. I've been awoken for many years... some would call me a conspiracy theorist... I call those people "sheople". Because they're still sleep and not woken to reality. They don't want to be unplugged from the matrix. The matrix is very real. Just listen to the lyrics in their songs, it's in movies... the truth is stranger than fiction.

@Tiffany truth is right in front of us through Tv 📺 and subliminal messaging as well as music. I barely watch Tv and read books. Read behold a pale horse by William Cooper.

@Stiles Johnson Yessssssssss! I've read that. And also check out Orson Welles "1984"

Tiffany Williams Definitely will check it out thanks.

Tiffany Williams Orson Welles great book by the way finished it a few weeks ago.

You had to get the cassette or CD to hear this one back in the day... Can anyone tell me why it wasn't on the vinyl album? One my Top 5 favorite Police cuts!

I played the cassette till it died.

"Lack of space" is the common answer, although it could've been easily added on the caveat that the dynamic range would have to be reduced (ie The record would need to be cut at a lower volume to fit the song on it.)

It was a choice between this or Mrs Gradenko. Due to size restrictions.

@EsromFF Miss Gradenko......

Yeah I had the cassette... phenomenal track along with Tea In The Sahara

Blood sacrifices in Hollywood and how to get away 🚶 with it.

@Spock yes it is.

Just like hotel California

@abnornal what is that?

Stiles Johnson its a song by the eagles explaining the process of selling your soul and then regretting it but being told you can never truly get it back. Check it out

Black Heracles Thanks 🙏 going to check it out.

And the government was investigating John Lennon?

Lennon was anti-war. The govt. was ok with private murder.

BRILLIANT CLOSER TO THE FINAL POLICE STUDIO.I LIKE THE CLAPPING AT THE END WHICH REMINDS ME OF THE END OF THE BEATLES LET IT BE ALBUM WHEN JOHN LENNON JOKES THAT HE HOPES THEY HAVE PASSED THE AUDITION.

Stewart Copeland smashing those drums at the end kicks ass too :)

That song should have been included in the album, instead of that horrible song "Mother". But then again, it would have been even more obvious that Sting was in Blue Turtle territory.

Did not know that

Music was composed by summers, lyrics by sting

@Rusty Kuntz It's on cassette but not vinyl.

blue turtle territory???

@LX UAE's His first solo album was Dream of the Blue Turtles.
