5 Jump the Brook Ruth [alternative version] [Wilkes, Arthurs] Recorded by Parlour Flames [Alan Wilkes & Paul Arthurs] at Bones Place, Hale, Manchester, engineered by Dave Fyfe

lyrics

Jump the brook Ruth it isn't very deep
I built a damn but it isn't very deep
Break a leg kid its not alright
Cause you're going home in an ambulance tonight

Jump the brook Ruth do as I say
I sent a trap for you I'm going to make you pay
So we talked some more and she eventually agreed
She took a few steps back and she gathered up speed but she couldn't see the trip wire hidden in the trees

Next minute she lets out a scream
She's lying head first down in the stream
Theres blood in the water people gather round
Theres a siren going off in the distance

Jump the brook Ruth
Jump the brook Ruth

I'm stood there at the waters edge transfixed by fear
I hear the sounds of people as they whisper in my ear

What an evil little boy...

Were gonna tel your parent were gonna tell the school
And it'll be curtains for you

Later that night I was relieved to hear
Ruth had nothing but a few scratches to her ear

She was back at school the very next day
But she didn't call at my house she kept we ll
And we haven't spoken to this day
Jump the brook Ruth show me that you acre
Jump the brook Ruth if you dare
Jump the brook Ruth play the game
I really like you in a way that I cant explain

Jump the brook Ruth...
