Oh, you look so tired
Mouth slack and wide
Ill-housed and ill-advised
Your face is as mean
As your life has been

Crash into my arms
I WANT YOU
You don't agree -
But you don't refuse
I know you


And I know a place
Where no one is likely to pass
Oh, you don't care if it's late
And you don't care if you're lost
And oh, you look so tired
(But tonight you presume too much)
Too much, 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


Crash into my arms
I WANT YOU
You don't agree -
But you don't refuse
I know you
Oh ...

    General Comment:Yupsedoodle.

    I agree with everyone. Jack the Ripper, boy-girl relationship...yeah.

    Anyway, this song is awesome. How does he scream like that? Can only guys do that or can girls do that too? I don't get how to SCREAM LIKE THAT! AHHH!!!!

    That's why when I sing it, it sounds like a stupid love song.

    HAHA. It's like I'm telling my life story, now.

    General Comment:Okay, this sucks. AFI does it so much better. I'd even dare to claim that the AFI cover is better than the original one.

    And janejetsetter, I think you're wrong. Like slammed234 said, it's definitely about Jack The Ripper. Listen to the goddamn lyrics. It's obvious.

    General Comment:Although I don't care much for Morissey (never heard any of his material so...) I think this song is soooo amazing. I actually kind of see it as a love song, although it's obviously darker than just that. "Crash into, oh, my fucking arms! I WANT YOU!!" I just love how that line is screamed.

    General Comment:DesertXSong - its not about A girl, it is about many, Jack the Ripper's targeted prostitutes.
