Jack the Ripper (Morrissey cover) Lyrics

	


Oh, you look so tired 
Your mouth is slack and wide 
You're ill-housed and you’re
You're ill-advised 
I bet your face is as mean
As your life has been 

And oh, you look so tired 
Well but tonight you presume too much
Too much, I said too much 
And if it's the last 
Thing I ever do 
I’m gonna get you

Crash into my arms 
I want you 
You don't agree 
But you don't refuse 
I know you, you, you, you, you

And, oh I, I know a place 
Where no one is likely to pass 
Oh, you don't care now ‘cause it's late 
And you don't care if you're lost 

And oh, you look so tired 
Well but tonight you presume too much
Too much, I said too much 
And if it's the last 
Thing I ever do 
I’m gonna get you 

Crash into my arms 
I want you
You don't agree 
But you don't refuse 
I know you 

Come on
Let's go 

And oh, you look so tired 
Well but tonight you presume too much
Too much I, I said too much 
And if it's the last 
Thing I ever do 
I’m gonna get you 

Crash into oh my fucking arms 
I want you
You don't agree 
But you don't refuse
I know you

Crash into my arms
I want you
You don't agree
But you don't refuse
I know you

Come on
I want you

cutie_star is right, this song is obviously, from the title, about 'Jack the Ripper' a famous murderer in the 19th century. He killed prostitutes v brutally and practically slaughtered them to death. The song is explaining how Jack the Ripper lured his victims and killed them. Love this song, yes, it MAY be a tad more dark than the others, but it's fucking awesome, i love it.

I know I'll get slated for this, but this is one of the rare times that a Morrissey song is covered and is better than the original.

I'm a huge fan of both MCR and M, but I feel this song, the lyrics and all round feel of the song is suited better to the passion MCR put into it. The original is good, there's no debating that, but I think this one is better.

As for the meaning, it's pretty self explanitory.
