... probaby not the last person to be hung the UK as that was Peter Anthony Allen and Gwynne Owen Evans (they were executed for the same crime simultaneously). |

Great song, great lyrics just classic morrissey. I'm guessing 'Spring Heeled Jim' is a reference to 'Spring Heeled Jack' an urban legend in the UK - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spring_Heeled_Jack. The lyrics seem to tie in with this e.g. "Now kissing with his mouth full And his eyes on some other fool So many women His head should be spinning" Spring Heeled Jack suppposed attacked and sometimes kissed a series of women in 19th century long. "He takes on whoever flew through" He was said to be able to jump leap large heights/distances, hence the name. Anyway, great song, i just love morrissey (and the smiths naturally). |
