Plan B Suzanne Lyric Analysis

The song starts off by “Takes you down to her place in the river..
You can hear the boats go by..
You can spend the say beside her..” these lyrics are just establishing the location were the song is about/set. The next section is “She’s around here somewhere,
Somewhere here she’s hid,
Somewhere in a canal by Camden Town,
Underneath a bridge.” This is also establishing the actual location being Camden it is also asking where she is then he establishes that is under a bridge. from this line we the audience think what is she doing under a bride has she runaway or is she homeless.

That’s where he said he put her bits and bobs
straight after what he did. The next line tells us what situation she was in and how the singer knows Suzanne. the turn “he put her bits and bobs” suggests that a man has killed her and maybe abused her as well. The turn bits and bobs suggest that there is no value to her body as it is been chopped up into small remaining pieces of her body.

Everytime I pass the lock,
I stop and wonder where she is. These are lyrics are remaining him the singer of the time HE said he put her bits and bobs.

The next section is the chorus “You see Suzanne was quite a looker,
Quite tasty for a high street hooker,” this line is defining what she was ,it also says that she was quit normal for a hooker.

She had a nice shape,
Nice ass, nice breasts,
I guess that’s why he took her. Is the next lines in the chorus he is describing how she looked, describing her ass and breast is a typical topic that is sung in many Hip-Hop songs. he also sing that that was the reason the mysterious man tool her.

But then again,
You know what blud,
This guy was kinda messed. But then he is thinking this might not of been because she was a hooker it might have been that the man was mentally and physically a nut case, so basically he is questioning and going over in his head if his theory’s are true.

So Suzanne’s death was probably more to do with torture,
Than it was to do with sex. These lines suggest that he is thinking over the reason why she has disappeared with a mysterious man.

Nevertheless he was a sick sick cunt,
There aint no doubt about that. These lyrics may suggest that the mysterious man has done something like this before.

His mental health was in a state,
But no one really knew about that.
Cause he lived alone all on his own,
And never spoke to neighbours,
Plus the guys next door was never home,
Cause they was always out ravin’. This section of the song is saying how the mysterious man lived his life and how he was isolated and how no one had contact with him in the nearby houses.

Which made it pretty convenient,
?????
Still no one could hear her screamin’ when,
Her blood started squirtin’ on the ceilin’ n’
Dried to the wall ‘till the paint started peelin’ n’
Shes cut real bad, n’ still breathin’ in
Beggin’ him to stop but he wont cause he’s evil n’
He aint about to start wheezin’ n’..   This piece is telling us how she might have been killed and how it effected the area she was in for example the room also there are loads of descriptions of how blood was splattered on the dilapidated room.

Suzanne..
Takes you down (down)..
Takes you down, to her place in the river (river)
In the river.. is repeated for the second time in the song to break the tension and story from the pervious verses and start on a new topic in the next verse.

It’s 10 o’clock on a Friday night,
Suzanne don’t know it but soon she’ll die,
She’s workin’ the streets like she does every night,
Pullin’ in punters left and right. Is the next verse this is the start of a time line what is does every night In the streets of Camden, pulling in punters left and right is something that would be said if you were in a bar or pub, punters is another term of customers, so this suggests that she is selling something or has a service for sale.

Then next section is staing the events that follow next

 She sees one guy,
He’s like, “hi you wanna fuck?”
“Only if the price is right.”
Suzanne says with a smile on her face,
Screen goes blank,
Now their back at his place.
Back at his place,
Suzanne takes,
Off her clothes,
While he makes her a drink in the kitchen,
That’s what shes thinkin’
When she hears metal objects clinkin’
“Need any help?” She says loud and clear,
He don’t answer her back,
He’s only in the next room,
It’s not like he can’t hear,
Why’s he goin’ on like that?
Suzanne picks up a towel to cover her breasts n’ arrn,
And goes and sees wagwaan.
Suzanne screams,
So shocked at what shes just seen..

This whole section is describing the conversation that is being had between suzzane and the mysterious man.

He’s holdin’ a knife and his eyes look Brock,
She makes a run for the door but it’s locked,
Slice slice slice,
Chop chop chop,
Suzanne’s screamin’ beggin’ him to stop.
But he won’t stop,
He don’t stop,
Not ‘till she stops strugglin’
She’s lyin’ on the floor in a pool-full of blood,
He goes in the other room to get something. this verse is telling us in detail how the mysterious  man is killing Suzanne .the lyrics use the term slice as is is usually used to describing cutting food ie a cake ,it also is a metaphor that mean that she has no value as a human and that she is just a piece of meat.

The main suspect in the notorious Camden lock murder investigation was convicted today.
41 year old ****, The Camden Ripper faces life in prisonment, after a jury convicted him guilty of all charges.
The body of Suzanne ****, his 5th victim, has still not been found. And police have given up the search.
**** Claims he threw her in the canal after decapitating her head, and severing her arms and legs from her torso.
Other breaking news today.. the above verse is read by a news reporter who is on scene of the merder,she  is reporting in formal English of the happenings of the murder, she also mentions the amount of victims he has killed and where.

So we come to the end of the story,
Suzanne died deadfall gory,
Along with a string of other girls he already killed,
Cause they offered to pleasure him orally.

This bit of the song is telling us how the girls offered him oral sex in exchange for him killing them.

Now banged up not a threat now a figure,
Last you’ll hear of the Camden Ripper,

This establishes that he been arrested and put in jail

Unless of course he escapes,
Then you better give a second thought,
About walkin’ round showin’ off your figure.

Here lyrics say if he escapes then women should be more careful and not show off there body in a provocative way otherwise they will be targeted as the Camden ripper’s next victim.

However Suzanne,
Like I said man,
Her body parts still never been found,
Remember next time your walkin’ around,
Camden Lock to keep your eye out.

They are still warning females not to walk around Camden lock alone and if you do keep watching your surrondings.also he mentions there is no sight of Suzanne’s body parts.

Cause you might see a piece of her floatin’ by,
Cotch on the bridge smokin’ weed,
Getting’ high,
Cause if shes there,
And need not lie,
Now he’s gonna live in jail for the rest of his life.

Lyrics say you may find bits of Suzanne on your day to day lives near the lock also lyrics extablish the Camden ripper will never escape from jail.

Takes you, Takes you Down..
In the, In the river..

Finally for the last time the lyrics above are repeated to conclude the song these lyrics are a bit ironic as the Camden ripper takes Suzanne to the canal were he ends up killing her.
