Lyrics - Spring-heeled Jim by Morrissey

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 ...
