Jim Jim Falls Lyrics

[Verse 1]
At Jim Jim Falls
I fall in love
At Jim Jim Falls
I fell up from Hell

[Chorus]
If you're gonna jump, then jump
Don't think about it
If you're gonna run home and cry
Then don't waste my time
If you're gonna kill yourself
Then to save face
Get on with it

[Verse 2]
At Jim Jim Falls
I fooled and fell
If I were you
I'd stick to your own canoe

[Chorus]
If you're gonna jump, then jump
Don't think about it
If you're gonna run home and cry
Then don't waste my time
If you're gonna kill yourself
Then to save face
Get on with it

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
If you're gonna sing, then sing
Just don't talk about it
If you're gonna live, then live
Don't talk about it
If you're gonna kill yourself
Then for God's sake
Just kill yourself

[Chorus]
If you're gonna sing, then sing
Just don't talk about it
If you're gonna live, then live
Don't talk about it
If you're gonna kill yourself
Then for God's sake
Just kill yourself

Cover art for Jim Jim Falls lyrics by Morrissey

A man falls in love with a girl in some picturesque landscape. His love seems to be mad and devoted, but he does not have a courage to confess it to her. He tries to tell her about it but It's too difficult for him to say it directly. However, finally she figures it out. In fact, he is completely indifferent to her, she doesnt feel anything towards him, he is just a person she knows a bit and nothing more. She is embarassed and irritated with the thing and what she wants from him is to do what he has to do and then get off her back. So she tells him he should just express his feelings, take his actions directly and not prolong this awkward situation any further. "If you're gonna kill yourself then do it" means "just do what you want to do, it won't change my attitude".

My interpretation is that the song is from the perspective of a reaper waiting impatiently to collect a soul. The message of the song is: "Walk the walk instead of talking the talk." Great song.
