Имхо, все шикарно и всё получилось!

Спасибо. Порадовался.

Да, а к Тигровым Лилиям нет планов снова обратиться?

Тут все хожу и присматриваюсь к паре текстов:

Tiger Lillies, The Lulu - A Murder Ballad
= Hey Jack = (Видимо, о Джеке Потрошителе)

Did he cut your throat with a razor?
Did he put an ice pick in your neck?
Will it be on the police records
Open to be checked?

Hey Jack ( repeat)

So when you pick him up from the street
Sunk to the very lowest branch of your profession, so to speak
Going back to where you started you
Take him to our shabby, dank, dark room to screw

Hey Jack (repeat)

Did he open up her body, from your arteries blood did pour?
Did the police really give a shit?
Well you were just another whore?

Hey Jack( repeat )

Were you sexually excited to kill a whore?
Or was it for God performed as a chore?

Hey Jack ( repeat )

As he looked at your dead body, over her he came
So even in your death throes a man is shamed

Hey Jack ( repeat )
========

Tiger Lillies Jack

Why do you do it Jack?
Is it the power over them?
Do you burn with hatred for the whores?
Or are they the easiest victim?
Or does your desire for blood drive you on?
Or is it the look of gratitude on their stricken faces?
Are you their long looked-for angel,
Who delivers them from this life?
Do you think God will be grateful that you deliver the fallen?
Will you go to Heaven, Jack,
Are you the deliverer of mortal sin?
Feted by the angels for your work
Or will you go to Hell, Jack,
For the filth and depravity of your work,
Taking a life that you have no right to,
Judging a life you have no right to judge,
Will you burn in Hell, Jack?
Or do you think you’re a hero, Jack?
Or a sombre enforcer cleansing the streets of vermin?
Are you helping society, Jack, cleaning the world of sinners?
Do you pray Jack, do you have a crucifix on your wall?
Do you kneel to it, exalt God, praise be to God, Jack?
Are you doing his bidding, Jack,
Following His commands?
Or are you possessed by Satan, Jack,
Is he your master?
Are you doing his work, do you think you ‘ll burn in Hell?
Are you the evil one, Jack?
Are you Satan himself?
Enjoying your crimes, do you go home and pray,
Or do you masturbate re-living the crime over and over?
Lustful thoughts, are you mad, Jack?
We know Jack, but do you?
Burn in Hell, Jack

And you feel he is the dark angel
And you feel joy and release
That your miserable existence is coming to an end
And you love him like no other man
So, little bird, you’re a victim of a beast’s lust
Lust it killed you as into you he thrust

Hey Jack
