Jack the Ripper
Dive Bella Dive Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've been hatching all these plans for so many years now
After my beautiful wife betrayed me and skipped town
Stabbed me in the back, I found her courting other men
Leaving me with a blackened heart, I could not love again
No more feeling, no more feeling for me now
So I've found

So bring bring bring bring bring me down
Bring me down to London town
Where the girls are so pretty, yeah they're all such pretty girls
Six six six feet in the ground
Six feet under London town
Where my heart lay pretty, well it's not so pretty now
It's not so pretty now

I've only got a little time to hunt the devil down
So off I went to London, down to London town
Found myself a lady by the name of Mary-Anne
Wooed her back to mine but I could never love again

No more feeling, no more feeling for me now
So I've found

So bring bring bring bring bring me down
Bring me down to London town
Where the girls are so pretty, yeah they're all such pretty girls
Six six six feet in the ground
Six feet under London town
Where my heart lay pretty, well it's not so pretty now
It's not so pretty now

Bring me my wife, her heart's mine
Bring me my wife, her heart's mine
Bring me my wife, her heart's mine

So bring bring bring bring bring me down
Bring me down to London town
Where the girls are so pretty, yeah they're all such pretty girls
Six six six feet in the ground
Six feet under London town




Where my heart lay pretty, well it's not so pretty now
It's not so pretty now

I've been hatching all these plans for so many years now
I have been planning revenge against my wife for a long time


After my beautiful wife betrayed me and skipped town
My beautiful wife betrayed me and ran away


Stabbed me in the back, I found her courting other men
She cheated on me with other men


Leaving me with a blackened heart, I could not love again
Her actions left me heartbroken and unable to love again


No more feeling, no more feeling for me now
I have become emotionless


So I've found
Therefore, I have decided


So bring bring bring bring bring me down
Take me to


Bring me down to London town
Take me to London


Where the girls are so pretty, yeah they're all such pretty girls
Where attractive women can be found


Six six six feet in the ground
Dead and buried six feet underground


Six feet under London town
Buried in London


Where my heart lay pretty, well it's not so pretty now
Where my heart used to be beautiful, but now it is not


I've only got a little time to hunt the devil down
I have a limited amount of time to seek revenge


Found myself a lady by the name of Mary-Anne
I met a woman named Mary-Anne


Wooed her back to mine but I could never love again
I convinced her to come home with me but I am incapable of loving again


Bring me my wife, her heart's mine
Bring me my wife's heart
