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
(ahhh)
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
(oh but no)
Spring-Heeled Jim slurs the words
There is no need to be so knowing
Take life at five times your average speed
Like I do Dsus4
Until Jim feels the chill
Oh where did all the time goDsus4
Once always in for the kill
Now it~s too cold
And he feels too old
(ending instrumental played with verse chords)
you may notice my deliberate use of Dsus4 chords and i justify that by
telling you that if you listen to the album closely, it has such a feel
for
A
chord.
