[Ren - Jenny's Tale lyrics]
It was a quiet, dark night on a empty street
Somewhere in London City
Jenny walked alone, she was dragging her feet
She was heading back home to sleep
Well, she knew this town, she knew this floor
Cause she'd walked it about
A thousand times before
She wanted to escape, can you blame?
Well on the very same night
In a different place
There walked this hooded blonde youth
By the name of James
He was 14 years old and out of his brain
He'd been smoking ganja with the boys
James, he grew up to be a kid of the street
His mates called him Screech
He was quick on his feet
He was a liar, a thief at fourteen years old
The devil had set his sights on his soul
As Jenny walked home all alone
She felt scared
Usually she was alright but it was like
There was something in the air
A divine intervention telling her to beware?
Or maybe intuition bugging her and
Making her so scared?
Sirens sound in the distance to
The beat of Jenny's feet
A symphony of the night that
Echoes crime on London's streets
Jenny turns a corner, when their eyes
They meet
Our poor girl Jenny, a boy named Screech
"Give me all your money bitch, give it to me
If you co-operate, then you'll soon be free
I want your purse, your phone
Don't fucking look at me
I mean it bitch, are you listening to me?"
Jenny freezes, statue like
A lady shaped stalactite
Fear like liquid nitrogen in the dark night
She tried to find strength to move
But stayed as still as a
Statue in high heeled shoes
"What the hell you playing at?
You playing games with me?
I swear to fucking god
I'll slice the rosy off your cheeks
You think I don't mean it
Girl? You don't know me
The last thing you see will
Be a boy called-"
Screech reached for the sheath of
The blade with the teeth
That could bite through steel
And slice concrete and he swung possessed
With the devil in his chest
And the statue that she was
Turned to butter in a breath
It was a quiet dark night on an empty street
Somewhere in London city
Jenny laid still on the cold concrete
She's found somewhere to sleep
Well, she knew this town, she knew this floor
'Cause she'd walked it about
A thousand times before
I guess that she escaped, it's such a shame
Somewhere in London City
Jenny walked alone, she was dragging her feet
She was heading back home to sleep
Well, she knew this town, she knew this floor
Cause she'd walked it about
A thousand times before
She wanted to escape, can you blame?
Well on the very same night
In a different place
There walked this hooded blonde youth
By the name of James
He was 14 years old and out of his brain
He'd been smoking ganja with the boys
James, he grew up to be a kid of the street
His mates called him Screech

He was a liar, a thief at fourteen years old
The devil had set his sights on his soul
As Jenny walked home all alone
She felt scared
Usually she was alright but it was like
There was something in the air
A divine intervention telling her to beware?
Or maybe intuition bugging her and
Making her so scared?
