Altogether now...

Well done, Autolycus!

Maybe we should get a chorus of Ripperologists together to sing and record it, then post on YouTube.

We get the Twelve days of Christmas bit over here. It's the "figgy pudding" we don't quite understand!


Best,

Cel

Yes these belong on Youtube

I don't get the figgy pudding either but it doesn't sound very pleasant

[belinda]

This can be a combined effort


As sung to Silent Night

Silent Night Deadly Night
Jacks about with his knife
Women walk the streets in fright
Holy terror so viscious and wild
Policemen tremble 'casue there's no sight

[Autolycus]

It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Sickert...

It’s beginning to look a lot like Sickert
Evr’ywhere you go;
Take a look at his brush and pen scribbling once again
On paper with marks that experts know.
It’s beginning to look a lot like Sickert
Clear in every stroke;
Now we only need to see what the DNA will be
To say “Case Closed”.

Happy Chistmas to All,
Autolycus.

Right.... my turn...what would you expect of an ex radio dj?

this is to the tune of Billy Joel's We didn't start the fire.

Go to youtube, play the tune and sing along...

Its called... We didn't start the lyin'

Abberline, Arnold,
Littlechild, Edmund Reid.
George Godley, Walter Smith
Joseph Henry Helson.

Charles Warren, William Thick,
Magnaghten has a script of tricks
Walter Dew, William Smith,
Robert Anderson.

Hardiman and Holland,
Davis and Donovan,
Edward Stanley, Fountain Smith,
Saw Jack the Ripper
He's the man!

John Evans, James Green,
England has an old queen,
Richardson, Amelia
Annie Chapman goodbye!

We didn't start the lyin'
It's been off and spinnin'
Since the one in Pinchin
We didn't start the lyin'
No we didn't light it
And we try to fight it...

Lizzie Allbrook, Walter Beck
Mary's got a cut neck,
Thomas Bowyer, Mary Cox,
Sealing off the block

Mrs Carthy, Hutchinson
Tell us what is going on
Maxwell she says,
Mary's seen in new gear

George Sequira, Haslip,
Then there's Bagster Phillips,
Stopping inquests on the fly,
Can you tell us? why oh why?

We didn't start the lyin'
It's been off and spinnin'
Since the one in Pinchin
We didn't start the lyin'
No we didn't light it
And we try to fight it...

Isreal Swartz, Packer
Grapes of wrath, attack her
Stride didn't stand a chance
Lipski is the only stance
Diemshutz,
Horse and cart
Murdering is quite an art,
On the ground, Jews around
No one hears a damned sound!

(Short guitar break....)

Charles Cross, Emma Green
Nicholls girl is never seen,
Duward street was Bucks Row,
Early morning walk slow,
Not a word and not a sound
Annie's lying on the ground
With all the whores
And street tramps
They only wave their little lamps

We didn't start the lyin'
It's been off and spinnin'
Since the one in Pinchin
We didn't start the lyin'
No we didn't light it
And we try to fight it...


George Morris, Tumblety
Strangers with a family tree,
Michael Kidney, Robert Mann
Good ol' John McCarthy

Polish Jew and Russian spy
Pedachenko.. I wonder why
Missing Files, take away
What more do I have to say?

We didn't start the lyin'
It's been off and spinnin'
Since the one in Pinchin
We didn't start the lyin'
No we didn't light it
And we try to fight it...

Empty Streets, glass of gin,
Anderson is back again
Lusk is getting shivers,
Words in blood, causing fear

The Times and the Daily Star,
TJ Bulling, ha ha ha,
Little quims from George Sims
Still boiling so far

Wheel of fortune
Spins a ride
With Druitt, its a suicide
Minsky here and Minsky there
Chapman snipping at their hair
Anderson and Walter Dew
Was he just a loony jew?
Fenians and Irish war
I can't take this anymore!

We didn't start the lyin'
It's been off and spinnin'
Since the one in Pinchin
We didn't start the lyin'
But when we are gone
It will still go on and on and on and on and on and on...

We didn't start the lyin'
It's been off and spinnin'
Since the one in Pinchin
No we didn't light it
And we try to fight it...



Hoped you liked it

best wishes

and a Merry Xmas to you ALL

Phil
We didn't start the lyin......

[Graham]

Reminds me of the old Rugby 'Twelve Days Of Christmas', which propriety and good taste prevents me from posting...

[Autolycus]

Shall I do another... Chrismassy one this time?..Oh why not...

Slade... Merry Christmas Everybody...done different as they say..


Are you hanging out your theories on your blogs?
Its the time that every theorist drops a bomb...
Will you ride a Gullite reindeer?
On the fortunes you have made
Or will Leonard's theory make us all behave?

So here it is, Jacky's Christmas,
All the bodies in the ground,
Look to the future
At the files that won't be found.

The police are watching everything you do
Because Anderson returned to cause a stew,
And if Swanson tries to help him,
In a Marginalian way
Then Melville words could cause you all to sway...

So here it is, Jacky's Christmas,
All the bodies in the ground,
Look to the future
At the files that won't be found.

What did your Mummy do
Kissing Jacky boy... oh no.....
Oh no...

Now Mr Abberline has taken all the flak
Because of Jacky's goings on behind his back..
And so Anderson the preacher
Declares mad Jews are the rage
While Jack the Ripper's real name, stays opaque

So here it is, Jacky's Christmas,
All the bodies in the ground,
Look to the future
At the files that won't be found.

(repeat)



No.2 in the flop charts this Christmas perhaps?


Have yourselves a Merry little Christmas...

best wishes

Phil
