Spring-Heeled Jim

"Spring-Heeled Jim" is a song by British musician Morrissey from his 1994 album Vauxhall and I. The title may be a pun of Spring Heeled Jack, a character from English folklore said to be able to jump extraordinarily high.

The song features several samples from "We Are the Lambeth Boys", a 1959 British documentary by Karel Reisz about the daily activities of members of the Alford House Youth Club, Kennington in late 1950s London. The dialogue excerpted is from two conversations, one about a fight between two groups of young men and another about the abolition of the death penalty.
