Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo (Heartbreaker)

The police in New York City
They chased a boy right through the park
And in a case of mistaken identity
They put a bullet through his heart

Heart breakers with your forty four
I wanna tear your world apart
You heart breaker with your forty four
I wanna tear your world apart...


From the album 'Goats Head Soup' (1973). The song was also released in the US as the second single,
following the number one hit 'Angie' from the same album.
One of the most controversial songs by the Stones, 'Heartbreaker' is telling two different stories:
The one about a boy in the lyrics above, mistaken for a bank robber, and another one about a ten-year-old girl, who dies in an alley of a drug overdose.
According to wikipedia, neither of these events are known to be factual.

Had the song in mind at once, when I saw the graffiti in suburbia. Combined it with another shot, taken in the city the same night.
Felt a great contrast between the message and atmosphere in suburbia and the people enjoying saturday night in a restaurant somewhere in the city.
Thought that things like in the song may happen everyday somewhere, while weīre enjoying life on the sunny side.
Different worlds on the same planet.

You have also captured the mayhem of the urban jungle which is a contributing factor to the wrong person being shot.
Fabulous painting of the city here Werner.
