Ripper lyrics

This section is not complete, but it is by far the most extensive on the net.

I welcome new additions. Oh, and if you spot a typo, let me know.

"Sometimes I wish I wrote more songs, I don't write anywhere outside the studio. That's where it always gets done – going blindly into something. To me that's always been important. To go blindly into it."

About his lyrical imagery:

"My songs have an interior logic, but I also think people want to discover things for themselves when they listen to them, just as they would when they read a poem."
