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).
