The Real Ripper Lyrics - Kirsty Maccoll

When you're out there lying in the sun 

He's the one who keeps his clothing on 

You'd never know him on a train or a bus 

'cos he looks just like the rest of us 

In the middle of the night it's a different story 

Don't let him catch you all alone 

The real ripper 

... ... your pay packet (? ) 

The real ripper 

Wearing a dinner jacket 

Ask anyone you meet and they'll say the same 

Noone is quite sure of his name 

Keep your hand on your heart but he's gonna get you 

He's gonna make you toe the line 

He's the ... laden master of disguise 

And he invented high rise 

On the council they're respectable and ... (? ) 

A bounce around the clock and turn away (? ) 

Ask anyone you meet and they'll say the same 

Noone is quite sure of his name
