Jack the Ripper
The Horrors (England) Lyrics

Walking down the streets of London late at night
The singer is walking on the streets of London at night.

Night is crawling and something is here
The night is dark and creepy, with an ominous feeling.

I've seen him [Incomprehensible] , oh no
The singer has seen something scary and is worried.

No, Jack The Ripper
The singer thinks it might be Jack The Ripper, a notorious serial killer.

Every now and then my mother calls
The singer's mother occasionally contacts them.

(The Ripper, Jack The Ripper)
The singer is still thinking about the possibility of Jack The Ripper being around.

Running around disturbing growls
The singer is hearing unsettling noises.

I've seen him in my dreams, oh no
The singer has also seen something eerie in their dreams.

Jack The Ripper
Thinking about Jack The Ripper again.

And now my mother's dead and buried
The singer's mother has died and been buried.

(The Ripper, Jack The Ripper)
The singer still associates the death with Jack The Ripper.

All we found her bones everywhere
The singer has only found the bones of their mother.

Walking down the streets of London late at night
The singer is still wandering the night-time streets of London.

The night is crawling and something is here
The night continues to feel ominous and foreboding.

I've seen him in my dreams, oh no, no, no, no, no, no
The singer continues to be haunted by their dreams of something scary.

Jack screams
The singer hears something that makes them think about Jack The Ripper.

Jack screams
The singer hears something else that makes them think about Jack The Ripper.

No, no no no
The singer is afraid of what they've experienced.
