shhhh
c'mon, c'mon
my best friend's a butcher, he has sixteen knives
he carries them all over the town at least he tries oh look it stopped snowing
my best friend's from Poland and oh he has a beard
but they caught him with his case in a public place that is what we had feared
he severed segments and secretely liked that
he always had the time to speak with me I liked him for that
he severed segments and secretely liked that
he always took the time
he always took the time
c'mon now pussycat
my best friend's a butcher, he has sixteen knives
he carries them all over the town at least he tries oh look it stopped snowing
my best friend's from Poland and oh he has a beard
but they caught him with his case in a public place that is what we had feared
he severed segments and secretely liked that
he always had the time to speak with me I liked him for that
he severed segments and secretely liked that
he was growing on me
he was growing on me
c'mon, c'mon
my best friend's a butcher, he has sixteen knives
he carries them all over the town at least he tries oh look it stopped snowing
my best friend's from Poland and oh he has a beard
but they caught him with his case in a public place that is what we had feared
he severed segments and secretely liked that
he always had the time to speak with me I liked him for that
he severed segments and secretely liked that
he always took the time
he always took the time
c'mon now pussycat
my best friend's a butcher, he has sixteen knives
he carries them all over the town at least he tries oh look it stopped snowing
my best friend's from Poland and oh he has a beard
but they caught him with his case in a public place that is what we had feared
he severed segments and secretely liked that
he always had the time to speak with me I liked him for that
he severed segments and secretely liked that
he was growing on me
he was growing on me

The song is about Aaron Kozminski. A Polish butcher suspected of being Jack the Ripper. The song is most likely a metaphor for Paul Bank's dark side, which he has decided to disguise as Jack the Ripper. The character is "growing on him". The title of the song might also be an amalgamation of "Ripper" and "Poland". Also, it's said that the real Jack the Ripper used to ask people for the time. As the song says, "He always took the time".
"They caught him with his case in a public place." When Billy and Roland were caught as prisoners of war.
He gets caught.
"but they caught him with his case in a public place that is what we had feared"
He was discreet.
"he severed segments and secretely liked that"
Always available.
"he always had the time to speak with me I liked him for that"
He gets caught.
"but they caught him with his case in a public place that is what we had feared"

This song is awesome. If you're fighting and throwing around ad hominem attacks here, you really shouldn't be allowed to live, much less being a pompous ass.
