Jack the Ripper CD - Lyrics.... The Last Victim Now listen to this story once more told
A new light shed on darkest days of old.
The Ripper`s tale is pure conspiracy -
Fear not the man in black - for there were three! Terror filled old London Town until the last was cut right down
Terror filled old London Town until the last was cut right down
Oh no! A secret marriage in a secret place
Unfortunates were those who chanted grace
Four simple girls, their bodies sold for rent
The Ripper charged within to take them out. Terror filled old London Town until the last was cut right down
Terror filled old London Town until the last was cut right down
Oh no!
Secret Wedding
Vicar: Do you, Albert Victor Christian Edward, take this woman - Annie Elizabeth - to be your lawful wedded wife?
To love...........
And to cherish........
For the rest of your life?
I now pronounce you - man and wife.
Seagull Swoops
Netley: Seagull swoops and nets his prey
Call to you as witness to this very day Sickert: Stone-carved into future`s past
Some say Polly Nicholls will not be the last Gull: Royal crested bird of prey
Lodges in his secret darkroom hideaway Gull: Victorious we cut a path
Come into our trap and taste the grapes of wrath Netley: Come into our wonder-world
Come with us and get your pretty necklace pearl`d Sickert: Those who saw - their hovels traced
All who knew the secret had their lives erased Gull: Oh this we do for England`s sake
Dreadful are the sorry lives we have to take Netley: My dear boss you`ll never find
For Jolly Jack is just a figment of your mind....
.Your simple mind...your simple mind
Waters of the Thames
The waters of the Thames are cold and inky black
The knife all London seeks won’t be a-comin’ back -
Gone in deep and filthy waters cold
Now I cannot take my sorry story back. Hunted like a dog throughout old London Town
Just to keep the Head of England in it’s crown. So all of them were quickly made to disappear
Now Jolly Jack is keepin` them in tremblin’ fear!
Sixpence My Dear
Sixpence at the wall my dear - that`s nothing to a gent
A penny-loaf and a pot of gin leaves threepence for the rent.
It`s all the life we`ve ever had
And rose-water for scent
We got to eat
We got to smoke
We`s got to pay the rent.
Ripper Revealed
I’ll paint a picture black as tar
Where Jack will strike from near or far
Through smoke-filled streets as gas lamps dim
I`ll strike again upon a whim.
The Boast
The first one I took in error - true.
The one I want made number two.
And now I’ve taken all the four(or five if you are keeping score!)
They say I must a monster be
Who should be hanging from a tree.
I cannot stop the rage within
The cover-up’s the greatest sin.
Escape to France
You won`t catch me - this very night
I`ll take the steamer out of sight.
I`ll disappear across the sea
And France will put a cloak `round me.
London Sleeps Tonight
Oh sleep you peaceful London Town
Whoever you may be -
For Jack has put his razor down (and)
Tonight we`ll all be free!
Taunting
I’ll take my secrets from the dark
Back to my Jekyll and Hyde Park
They try to solve my funny game
You`ll never get me in the frame.
I’ve left you clues to lead you back
The pictures lead to Jolly Jack
To be half sick or not at all -
I must be halfway up the wall!
Secret Trial
