Jones narrates the song as a betrayed lover who spies his woman in silhouette on a window blind as she makes love to another man. Although he realises that she is no good for him, he becomes temporarily insane. Waiting until her paramour leaves, at the break of day, he knocks on the door, which she opens, only to laugh in his face. He then stabs her to death. Realising this murderous act, the betrayed lover begs her forgiveness before the police come to break down the door and take him away.

But, yeah. There's a stabbing spike.

The picture caption's the take-away, as far as I'm concerned.

Guardian even has a special metasite for their reporting on the results of knife-humper culture and blade-o-sexuals, I guess you'd call them. https://www.theguardian.com/uk/knifecrime

NYC is one of the safest cities in the US, while London is probably the most dangerous city in the UK.
