The Ripper
You're in for surprise You're in for a shock In London Town streets When there's darkness and fog When you least expect me And you turn your back, I'll attack I smile when I'm sneaking Through shadows by the wall I laugh when I'm creeping But you won't hear me at all All hear my warning Never turn your back on the Ripper You'll soon shake with fear Never knowing if I'm near I'm sly and I'm shameless Nocturnal and nameless Except for "the Ripper" Or, if you like, "Jack the Knife" Oh, ah Any back-alley street Is where we'll probably meet Underneath a gas lamp Where the air's cold and damp I'm a nasty surprise I'm a devil in disguise I'm a footstep at night I'm a scream at the sight All hear my warning Never turn your back on the Ripper The Ripper The Ripper Ahh!

Whiskey woman, don't you know that you are driving me insane? The liquor you give stems your will to live and gets right to my brain Don't you know you're driving me insane? You're trying to find your way through life You're trying to get some new direction Another woman's got her man She won't find no new connection Takes another drink or two Things look better when she's through Take another look around, you're not going anywhere You've realised you're getting old and no one seems to care You're trying to find your way again You're trying to get some new Another woman's got her man But she won't get a new Takes another drink or two Things look better when she's through You've been foolin' with some hot guy I want to know why is it why Get up, get out, you know you really blew it I've had enough, I've had enough, good god pluck me Once she was wonderful Once she was fine Once she was beautiful Once she was mine (She was mine) Now change has come over her body She doesn't see me anymore Now change has come over her body She doesn't see me anymore Changes Changes Changes Changes Victim of changes! Argh! No! No! No! No!
