The Ripper Lyrics
You're in for surprise
You're in for a shock
In London town streets
When there's darkness and fog
When you least expect me
And you turn your back
I'll attack I smile when I'm sneaking
Through shadows by the wall
I laugh when I'm creeping
But you won't hear me at all
All hear my warning
Never turn your back
On the ripper
You'll soon shake with fear
Never knowing if I'm near
I'm sly and I'm shameless
Nocturnal and nameless
Except for "The Ripper"
Or if you like "Jack The Knife"
SOLO (Glenn)
Any back alley street
Is where we'll probably meet
Underneath a gas lamp
Where the air's cold and damp
I'm a nasty surprise
I'm a devil in disguise
I'm a footstep at night
I'm a scream of the fright
All hear my warning

Great song, obviously about Jack the Ripper.
I know Halford has an AMAZING range, but I kinda wonder if the scream at the beginning and end were completely natural. That almost sounds too high to believe.
Heh. vedi gud song. Very good.
Great song about Jack the Ripper. Priest ruled the heavy metal scene for such a long time. Great band...music still rocks today.
i had the same thought as Muzzy... this is just "too high to believe" :-O
I think the first scream in the song is a mix of Rob and a guitar
"I think the first scream in the song is a mix of Rob and a guitar"
I think so to
This short song does more than almost any other to display Rob's amazing range. Truly the Metal God! I remember in high school I used a sound effects record to create a mix of this with running footsteps, panting, a woman's scream and then the guitar kicks in.
Great song!
The scream has a guitar I think.
I love how it sound like he reading a newspaper.
^^yes, its a combination And this is such a great song,, I always sing along with it
which album is this song from? I hadn't heard it before I found it on youtube, and it's pretty good.
