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
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
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
I want you
You don't agree
But you don't refuse
I know you, you, you, you, you
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
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
I want you
You don't agree
But you don't refuse
I know you
Let's go
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
I want you
You don't agree
But you don't refuse
I know you
I want you
You don't agree
But you don't refuse
I know you
I want you

mcr goddess is ill-advised about this song. Jack the Ripper was a serial killer in england..went around murdering prostitutes. Thats about all i know about him.
Morrissey Covers. Are Uber Good When Its Done Well. And They Do It Well.
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.
=)
yay for morrissey covers.
