Spring Heeled Jack
Lemon Demon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
by the springs on his boots,
like an inverted angel.
We've been afraid of this terrible,
strange, elusive monster for years.
It seems to be superstitious lunacy
old Spring Heeled Jack appears.
I hear the sound
of him bounding around
on the rooftops of London,
leaving the people bewildered and stunned
and, on occasion, aflame.
No sooner than unsuspecting Englishmen
turn their backs, the wretch attacks,
and Spring Heeled Jack's his name.
I doubt that it's those clever brats in college.
and the Marquess of Waterford denies all knowledge.
And people in the area reek of mass hysteria...
But, admit you must, that it is just enough to scare you.
And you scream when he draws
out a handful of claws
and a blue breath of fire,
then disappears leaping higher and higher,
as if lighter than air.
Time marches on,
now it seems as though he's gone.
This day lacks tales of his acts
but don't relax
for Spring Heeled Jack's still there.

Despite being afraid of this strange and elusive monster for years, people seem to dismiss it as superstitious lunacy until it actually appears before them when things go black.

The wretch attacks when people turn their backs, and his name becomes synonymous with the terrifying monster. Despite people denying knowledge of Spring Heeled Jack's existence and rumors of mass hysteria in the area, the singer reminds us that it is just enough to scare us.
The final verse speaks of how time has marched on, and it seems as though Spring Heeled Jack has disappeared, but people shouldn't relax because he is still out there.
