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 ...

The person that Morrissey is referring to (and it is most likely a he rather than a she) doesn't want to get involved with him. This person is so bothered by their own problems that they really don't want to take care of anyone else.

Morrissey tempts them. He wants this person so badly for themselves and does not take their feelings into consideration, only to walk right into a situation where his heart would be broken. This person seems torn about the situation because while they might have feelings for Morrissey, they honestly don't want to. Morrissey seems to take advantage of the situation and tempts them sexually. The person thinks it's wrong because they don't want to get involved with someone they're not with, but they don't refuse because Morrissey hands them easy sex on a plate.


...Yes. I try to actually analyze Morrissey's songs.

By the way, the song itself has nothing to do with Jack the Ripper, I would wager. It's probably a hint as to how Morrissey feels about himself after tempting the person.

THE MORRISEY VERSION IS SO MUCH BETTER. THIS IS SHOUTING AND CRAP FROM SOME SELL-OUT FAGGOTS. NOBODY LIKES INCEST.

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

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.

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.

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.
