No, we're not.

The rest of us are s... are sane.

You automatically think it could be him

Yeah

You automatically think it could be him

That's the scary thing

That he could be amongst us

And look walking around with us

Every day and we don't know

Yeah

We don't know

Like, anyone

It could be anyone in here

Like, anyone, it could be anyone in here

For all we know

Which has scared me

Now I'm thinking about it

- I'm just gonna, like, cry

- Ha-ha!

You automatically think it could be him

You automatically think it could be him

It could be him

Erm... well, some serial killer

Seems to be on the loose

And, erm, has sort of attacked

Prostitutes from in the Ipswich area

And they've been found dead, naked

In various different areas

Surrounding Ipswich

One ten minutes away from my house

Which is scary

And it was found on the body on the land

Of a girl that goes to my school

- So that's a bit scary

- Yeah

I used to go out every Friday and

Saturday night and I don't go out any more

It's not safe for young girls and women

Out in Ipswich any more

- It's not safe

- Yeah

It's not safe for young girls and women

Out in Ipswich any more

- It's not safe

- Yeah

As it used to be

It's quite scary to think

How the world's come to this

You automatically think it could be him

Yeah

You automatically think it could be him

Like, anyone

It could be anyone in here

Like, anyone

It could be anyone in here for all we know

Which has now really scared me

I'm just gonna, like, cry...

Ha-ha!

You automatically think it could be him

You automatically think it could be him

It could be him

Something like this happens

And you realise that there's so much

So many things that are bad in the world

That's the fire alarm

We're all going to die...

Ha-ha-ha-ha.

- But it's exciting

- Cos nothing ever happens in Ipswich

This is the first bit

Of local scandal we've ever had

Being girls, gossip mongers

We're like, "It's quite exciting"

- It's quite exciting

- Yeah, yeah

You automatically think it could be him

You automatically think it could be him

Yeah

Like, anyone

It could be anyone in here

Like, anyone

It could be anyone in here for all we know

Which has now really scared me

I'm just gonna, like, cry

Ha-ha, yeah

It could be anyone here

Which has now really scared me

Now I'm thinking about it

I'm just gonna, like, cry

Ha-ha

You automatically think it could be him

You automatically think it could be him

It could be him

You automatically think it could be him

Yeah

You automatically think it could be him

That's the scary thing

That he could be amongst us

Walking around with us every day

And we're... we don't know
