The Polly Nichols Interview by Kip Winger, Damien Gray Lyrics
[DEVIL'S KEEPER]
A real bang-up job girl
Sins, by the dozen
A whore in the alleys
To hell, you are summoned
[POLLY]
Are you the devil?
[DEVIL'S KEEPER]
Ha
I'm not the devil
I'm the middling sort
I listen to stories
I get from the source
[POLLY]
I've not much to say
As I had [?] my life
But he took that away
With a rip of his knife
[DEVIL'S KEEPER]
This monster, he's something, on that we'll agree
It's in him we take interest
So continue, please
[POLLY]
Believe it or not
I despise what I did
[DEVIL'S KEEPER]
You once had a family
Says here, five kids
[POLLY]
And a husband
Who loved me
How else can you cope, in Whitechapel?
It's 24/7 of me fighting the apple
[DEVIL'S KEEPER]
No rest for the wicked
[POLLY]
There's no getting out
Though you plot, and you plan
You're just running in motion
You die where you stand
[DEVIL'S KEEPER]
I live in hell, darling
[POLLY]
My father never knew
What his daughter had become
[DEVIL'S KEEPER]
And so, one night, you meet Mr. Wrong
And it seems, in the dark, you two get along
Can you shed me some light on this monster in question?
[POLLY]
If I tell you the details, will you offer redemption?
[DEVIL'S KEEPER]
Oh...I don't do redemption
Let's continue the audit
Speak of the night
When you wore that lovely black bonnet
A real bang-up job girl
Sins, by the dozen
A whore in the alleys
To hell, you are summoned
[POLLY]
Are you the devil?
[DEVIL'S KEEPER]
Ha
I'm not the devil
I'm the middling sort
I listen to stories
I get from the source
[POLLY]
I've not much to say
As I had [?] my life
But he took that away
With a rip of his knife
[DEVIL'S KEEPER]
This monster, he's something, on that we'll agree
It's in him we take interest
So continue, please
[POLLY]
