Lyrics

Who wants a little something lightness

I know a freaky young lady
Name of Cocaine Katie
She makes my temperature freeze
She's got a blood red powder
When she gives a shout
She'll bring you to your knees

Well we were being clever playing God
games forever
She said she only meant to please
But I'm someone's brother, got a father
and a mother
You know I'm going to have to leave

South of the border
I think you oughta
South of the border
I think you oughta

'cos you know you're gonna have to leave
To a place where you can breathe
And you know there's no reprieve

There'll be tears on leaving
But there won't be no grieving
'cos a city soon forgets
To me it's magic
To the landlord it's tragic
He's got another room to let

There'll be the same old faces in the same
old places
Where my youth was well misspent
But I tow the line and moving time
To a town called 'No Regrets'

South of the border
I think you oughta
South of the border
I think you oughta

'cos you know you're gonna have to leave
To a place where you can breathe
And you know there's no reprieve

Ohhh, yeah a yeah yeah
Ohhh, ooh yeah
Ohhh, ooh yeah

Won't shout
Did you ever saw a place
That grows on you like an abces
Now your soul shows control of whatever you want
It's not who at a donna sucks
Because you won't come out
Twenty seven is what makes you thinking about it
And thinking about who you are
And guess who we are going out tonight with
Come on, Anthea Turner, oh god
Oh brilliant, oh no, Anthea Turner
And you're always broke
Having it large
I'll tell the world for ya


South of the border
I think you oughta
South of the border
I think you oughta
