Jack The Ripper

Nick Cave and the bad seeds

I got a woman
 She rules my house with an iron fist
 I got a woman
 She rules my house with an iron fist
 She screams out Jack the Ripper
 Every time I try to give that girl a kiss

I got a woman
 She strikes me down with a fist of lead
 I got a woman
 She strikes me down with a fist of lead
 We bed in a bucket of butcher's knives
 A awake with a hatchet hanging over my head

Well you know the story of the viper
 It's long and lean with poison tooth
 Yeah, you know the story of the viper
 It's long and lean with poison tooth
 Well they're hissing under the floorboards
 Hanging down in bunches from my roof

I got a woman
 She just hollers what she wants from where she is
 I got a woman
 She just hollers what she wants from where she is
 She screams out Jack the Ripper
 Every time I try to give that girl a kiss
