MORRISSEY LYRICS - Spring-Heeled Jim

"Spring-Heeled Jim"



Spring-heeled Jim winks an eye

he'll "do," he'll never be "done to"

he takes on whoever flew through

"WELL, IT'S THE NORMAL THING TO DO"

Spring-heeled Jim lives to love

now kissing with his mouth full

and his eyes on some other fool

so many women

his head should be spinning

AH, BUT NO!

Spring-heeled Jim slurs the words:

"there's no need to be so KNOWING

take life at five times your

average speed, like I do"

until Jim feels the chill

"oh, where did all the time go?"

once always in for the kill

now it's too cold

and he feels too

OLD
