Spring-heeled Jim Lyrics

Morrissey Spring-heeled Jim

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... 


La, la, la, la-la, la ...
