Unknown on the street
Was he a doctor, or was that just make believe,
That all depends! On which stories you read.
The streets of London, were gripped by real fear,
As tales of a monster, started to appear.
Depicted by reporters, that turned into mass hysteria,
The setting of the nineteenth century, just makes it that much eerier.
Signing a letter, with the name of Jack,
When the days came and went, one less was coming back.
It’s one of those mysteries, that might never be solved,
Even though the researchers wouldn’t like to think so.
This district of rundown London, became a magnet for tourists,
Walking the same streets, it’s a trail you’ll never want to miss.
As fast as he appeared, one day he was quickly gone,
No new bodies were found, and the police had nothing more to go on.
A despiser of women, no one really knows for sure,
Only the town of London, he didn’t leave the same as before.
Some say an American spin-doctor, held the key to the truth,
Only he was buried, with everything that he knew.
Unknown on the street, you were lucky if you’re paths didn’t meet,
Unknown on the street, never caught for the crimes did he feel the heat.
Unknown on the street, made the days a frightening outlook,
Unknown on the street, but he made no apology for the lives he took.
Suddenly
If you had seen tomorrow, would you have stopped,
You appeared to have it all, but then maybe you got lost.
Got to push on, in order to maximise the impact,
One step further forward, now there’s just no going back.
For a moment, I thought I saw you standing there,
But when I looked again, if you were there you’d disappeared.
Sliding back into the annals, where life catches time,
Back to that place, where the sun just doesn’t want to shine.
Got your self a ticket, but it could prove to be a mistake,
Because something’s in life, just don’t want to wait.
Sometimes it’s better, to go a wait just a little while,
Before we head into the clouds in the sky, where we all must stand trial.
Suddenly, life has gone and shifted gears,
What seemed like a ride of fun, all ends in tears!
Suddenly, everything all gets swept in a different way,
When the sun melts the ice, you’ll be far away.
Suddenly, time has decided it’s time to move on,
With nothing left behind you, except your catalogue of songs
