A song about Mary Jane Kelly Jack the rippers final victim x

You've not lived til you see how the fields in Ireland gleam bright not like London
You should se the way the waves there rise and roll
You've not lived til you see how the people there
Know kindness not like London you should see just how their
Smiling faces glow

Well I do remember my dear old mums smile
They don't smile here in London you should see the way the match girls
Faces frown
Everyone here drinks gin not beer
until good sense ain't here nor there this London
you should see the way we move and sway then drown

Polly wore a jolly bonnet wild and proud and free
Cathys doss house records show the one same name as me
All In this burgeoning great city don't you turn out like this girl
Last nite I dreamed my photograph got seen all round the world

If jacks knife flashes and leaves me undone
let me be the one who will die for London
My name in the papers and My blood in the drain
Purge the city and leave a / grapes between my fingers /
A violet on me grave on me grave

Well I do remember my dear old mums smile
They don't smile here in London you should see the way the match girls
Faces frown
Everyone here drinks gin not beer
until good sense ain't here nor there this London
you should see the way we move and sway then drown

Under this burley smoke black sky I
I came here wideeyed lost control
For gin and board I wept and whored
I sold my body and my soul
To this great beorgeoing huge city
Don't you turn out like this girl
I dreamt that my photograph was seen all round the world....

If jacks knife flashes and leaves me undone
let me be the one who will die for London
My name in the papers and My blood in the drain
Purge the city and leave a / grapes between my fingers /
A violet on me grave on me grave

But tonight I'm gonna meet a tall man, well dressed well read and rich too
He says I'm made for more than this
He says you'll be a different women once I finish with you
He says he fully means to make of me his greatest work of art
He says tonight he swears blind he will steal away my heart


City pulses to sin and gin and violence
Day blurs into black nights rain
Tear past the ten bells the Britannia
All my friends call out my name they call me Mary Mary Mary
He comes and and he smiles and holds my hand
Says that your body's my desire
Tells me tonight he has a plan
He bolts the door i lights the fire.......


Only the lonely know my sorrow my love cannot die
Don't gaze down on my body
I dwell in a realm outside your world
We have no murder here nor mystery
No tears we are like pearls
Who formed where all the grit and grime of London
Swirled but now it shines
Here in a sphere outside your comprehension human sight and time
Here where we beam like rainbows
I see green fields rise before my gaze
They gleam more bright more beautiful than even childhoods bygone days
I am not there In thatdark room I breathe clean air
Under blue skies
Only the lonely know my sorrow my love never dies......
