MORRISSEY - Spring-Heeled Jim lyrics

rate me

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...
