VIDEO CLIP HERE youtu.be/OjOofCfqGZQ

"Jack The Ripper" is a lilting and melancholic tour of the ghosts and myths surrounding the murderer known as Jack The Ripper. Who was he? Perhaps all that remains is a certain ambiance, a kind of Victorian vapour trail.

lyrics

Flecks of blood on my kerchief
Burning, twisting on my sheets
Draw the drapes on my French doors
Light on my silvered mirror

Dawn light creeps into my room
Coffee convalescent gloom
All the lines across my face
The Dorian scars and scrapes

CHORUS
Jack The Ripper Strikes Again
Jack The Ripper Strikes Again


Leeches writhing in a jar
Displayed upon the polished bar
Lozenges in a small tin
Help to keep me pale and thin

Wood smoke and a light drizzle
Grey descends as if by Will
Silken robe flows from her chair
A soft blue light upon her hair

CHORUS
CHORUS


Ride a Hansom through the park
Watch my warm breath in the dark
Absinthe through a sugar cube
In a darkened opera booth

Duck and stoop into the dark
Clamour of the abattoir
Workers warm their hands in pails
Sorting through the fresh entrails

CHORUS
CHORUS
