Fun Lovin Criminals - Southside lyrics

On a night with no lights

They found a young girl's body

Jigged and beaten and they made it a priority

But the boys in blue couldn't solve the case

Because the girl that hit the curb didn't have no face

They found her on Delancy Street, Christmas Eve

No suspect sought, much to my relief

And I said wash your face little girl, for real

Pretend you came back with that mass appeal

Now diamonds for your pearl, clicking and heels

Shaking that ass for extra value meals

And down that part of town, that frightens the masses

Filled with mean motherfuckers and noxious gases

Chorus

Delancy I love you, I need you

You're the only one for me

Delancy I love you, I need you

I miss you on the Southside of the street

(2x)

They're all bums girl, they're all bums girl

They're livin' in their fucked up places

I'm talking murder, I'm talking blackmail and jazz

And guys with burned up faces

Delancy I love you, I need you

You're the only one for me

Delancy I love you I need you

Southside, Southside

Delancy I love you I need you

You're the only one for me

Delancy I love you I need you

I miss you on the Southside of the street

You know that you're the flower, baby I am Dr Pepper

I saw you on the street and it made me feel much better

I dragged him 'cross the ground to show him what he'd done

I seen an F' train coming, shining like the sun

Yeah I looked both ways before I pushed him in the track

I heard a scream, a crack and I never looked back

Delancy on my mind (repeat)
