sazaboo Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 Lyrics to 'Spring Heeled Jim' by Morrissey...i dont think its related though.... 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" ... ah ... 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 ! Ah, but no ! But no ! Ah, no ! Spring-heeled Jim slurs the words : "There's no need to be so knowing Take life at five times the 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 Too old Mmm, old... La, la, la, la-la, la ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemmy Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 I remember hearing the stories of Spring-heeled Jack when I was little. Scared the life out of me. Apparently he used to leap around where Park Hill is now, and off towards the Cholera Grounds. I heard the stories too but the location being Norfolk Park. I was a teenager when I was told, but it still scared me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
