Walking down the streets of London late at night
Night is crawling and something is here

I've seen him [Incomprehensible] , oh no
No, Jack The Ripper

Every now and then my mother calls
(The Ripper, Jack The Ripper)
Running around disturbing growls
(The Ripper, Jack The Ripper)

I've seen him in my dreams, oh no
No, Jack The Ripper

(Jack The Ripper)
Jack The Ripper
(Jack The Ripper)

And now my mother's dead and buried
(The Ripper, Jack The Ripper)
All we found her bones everywhere
(The Ripper, Jack The Ripper)

I've seen him in my dreams, oh no
No

(Jack The Ripper)
Jack The Ripper
(Jack The Ripper)

Walking down the streets of London late at night
(The Ripper, Jack The Ripper)
The night is crawling and something is here
(The Ripper, Jack The Ripper)

I've seen him in my dreams, oh no, no, no, no, no, no

(The Ripper, Jack The Ripper)
Jack The Ripper
(The Ripper, Jack The Ripper)

Jack screams
Jack screams
No, no no no

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
