Lyrics for Jack The Ripper as interpreted by Brandnizzle2k4

Jack The Ripper Lyrics
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 ...

okay, i kno that mcr covers this song, but obviously it's about him liking a girl and him wanting her badly. you can just tell from the lyrics. I WANT YOU. he says YOU DON'T AGREE BUT YOU DON'T REFUSE. i guess the girl wants him but at the same time she doesn't want to do it. but hey, who doesn't want to do it with gerard?

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.

Yeah, this is a pretty awesome cover. Of course it is Morrissey, so what else could be expected? I think they stopped playing it at shows even before they kicked out Otter.

I have just finished a book which deals with the murders by Jack the Ripper. He was a family man who did murder plenty of prostiutes with a hammer and knifes. If anybody is interested its "Just A Boy" by Richard McCann. Yeah and the song is good also.. :)

Well it's about Jack the Ripper I think we've gathered, it's from his POV aswell.

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

^^Describing the prozzy and her hard life, whatever it was it's driven her to prositution.^^

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

^^She doesn't agree or refuse, she doesn't really wanna but she has to. The "I want you" part is possibly more sinister than it seems. I don't know about "I know you". Maybe he thinks he's inside their heads.^^

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

^^Gonna fuck her. He's telling her he knows a place they can go (duh) "You look so tired" - he's sympathising with her, making her think he's not out to get her.^^

(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

^^he's gonna kill her and she doesn't know it. He is determinded.^^

Probably didn't need me to spell that out for you, heh.

Great Cover, i loved that song!
The lyrics kinda point out this songs meanings, so not much interpretation here.

p.s: sister to sleep's lyrics are so hard to understand!
what the heck is he saying in the beginning.

"Anybody know anything about Sister To Sleep? is it a cover? is it a new song? It's a damn good song, but i've only found it live."

They wrote it because they were asked to do a song for the 'Freddy Vs Jason' soundtrack, but obviously it didn't get on it. It'd about sleep deprovation(sp?). The only version I've found, also, sounds live. If they ever do a third album they'll probably have it on there.
I wish I could figure out the lyrics myself. I can understand most of it, but not all.

The lyrics are pretty hard to make out, but i got
"I'm Sleepwalking Back Into This Hell" down
it's said after the second chorus and towards the end.
I'm not sure about the rest, but it's probably the Best MCR song out there.

Good song. 'I never told you what i do for a living' i think was inspired by this song.
