Excerpt from the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spring-Heeled_Jim Wikipedia entry]: <blockquote> The song features several samples from [[Mention::We Are The Lambeth Boys|We Are the Lambeth Boys]], a 1959 British documentary by Karel Reisz about the daily activities of members of the Alford House Youth Club, Kennington in late 1950s London. The dialogue excerpted is from two conversations, one about a fight between two groups of young men and another about the abolition of the death penalty. </blockquote> == Lyrics == <poem> 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" Spring-heeled Jim lives to love Now kissing with his mouth full And his eyes on some other fool Ao many women his head should be spinning Ah, but no! Ah, but no! Ah, no! Ah, no! Spring-heeled Jim slurs the words: "There's no need to be so knowing Take life at five times your 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 Old... </poem> {{CommonSongSections | Artist = Morrissey | Song = {{#replace:{{#replace:{{PAGENAME}}| (single)|}}| (song)|}}}}
