A noose is a loop at the end of a rope in which the knot slides to make the loop collapsible. Knots used for making nooses include the running bowline, the tarbuck knot, and the slip knot.
Noose (1948), released in the United States as The Silk Noose, is a British crime film, directed by Edmond T. Gréville and starring Carole Landis, Joseph Calleia, and Derek Farr.
Set in post-Second World War Britain, Noose is the story of black market racketeers who face attempts to bring them to justice by an American fashion journalist, her ex-army fiancé and a gang of honest toughs from a local gym. The normally proficient and urbane Nigel Patrick is badly miscast as a cockney spiv and overacts throughout the film.
Noose was written by Richard Llewellyn, adapted from his own stage play of the same title. The film has been included as part of the cycle of spiv films produced between 1945–50 in Britain.
Noose (Polish: Pętla) is a 1957 Polish film directed by Wojciech Jerzy Has, starring Gustaw Holoubek. The film is an adaptation of a short story by Marek Hłasko and follows the day in the life an alcoholic.
Kuba Kowalski (Gustaw Holoubek) is an alcoholic who spends most of his day in his room with a bottle of vodka for company and a noose dangling from the ceiling. His ruminations are periodically interrupted by his girlfriend Krystyna (Aleksandra Slaska) banging on the door.
Born to smother your hope born to strangle your will
Every word that I say, a thousand shades grey
Wrapping you in despair, a steady rot and decay
Know that there is an exit, Know that I am the noose
Hanging always near
Know that I am the noose
Speaking not in tongues but in truth
In a world of concrete and worthless people
Know that I am the noose
Never judging always waiting
Know that I am the noose
In a world of shit as you drown in piss
Know that I am the noose, Know that I am the noose
No light in my darkness, No future, No hope
I did not ask for this but this is who I am
My presence like disease and you an open wound
I did not ask for this but this is what I am
A darkness without light
An end always in sight
Know that there is an exit Know that I am the noose
Born to smother your hope
Born to strangle your will
Every word that I say, a thousand shades of grey
Wrapping you in despair, a steady rot and decay
Know that there is an exit Know that I am the noose
My presence like disease
And you an open wound
I did not ask for this but this is what I am
A darkness in the light An end always in sight
Know that there is an exit
Know that there is a noose
As you life slowly fades and you swing to and fro know
that I feel nothing
