Jack the Ripper — текст песни (Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds)

I got a woman
She rules my house with an iron fist
I got a woman
She rules my house with an iron fist
She screams out Jack the Ripper
Every time I try to give that girl a kiss


I got a woman
She strikes me down with a fist of lead
I got a woman
She strikes me down with a fist of lead
We bed in a bucket of butcher`s knives
A awake with a hatchet hanging over my head


Well you know the story of the viper
It`s long and lean with poison tooth
Yeah, you know the story of the viper
It`s long and lean with poison tooth
Well they`re hissing under the floorboards
Hanging down in bunches from my roof


I got a woman
She just hollers what she wants from where she is
I got a woman
She just hollers what she wants from where she is
She screams out Jack the Ripper
Every time I try to give that girl a kiss
