Darkside Lyrics by Kev Carmody

Bloodlines

1993

[Verse 1]
Chocolates, roses, kisses, zits to hide
To copulate, most males bribe
Warm fuzzies. Gentle care
Expensive cars, pubic hair
Parties, alcohol, domestic fights and incest
Adolescent, hot, fast, messy sex

[Chorus]
On the southside, darkside
South of the freeway, them Logan kids
Use to hang out in that trashed-out Rooster & Ribs

[Verse 2]
Fast food, junk food, foul food, chunder
McDonald's, Kentucky, rail line thunder
Tavern drive-in, ya buy the piss
The grog we flog, they'll never miss
Poor behind, square one, it’s hard to start
Five-fingered discount from the rich K-Mart

[Chorus]
On the southside, darkside
South of the freeway, them Logan kids
Use to hang out in that trashed-out Rooster & Ribs

[Verse 3]
Fish smell, cabana, burnt-out shell
Rooster and Ribs is a scene from hell
Broken plaster, fibro, power cords
Hangin' down, to the burnt-out board
Dope, an' drugs keep ya stable
Couples screwin' on the table

[Chorus]
On the southside, darkside
South of the freeway, them Logan kids
Use to hang out in that trashed-out Rooster & Ribs

[Verse 4]
Most nights ya screw or fight
Girlfriends, boyfriends, use the night
Hide their reality from society
Only place you can feel free
Moans, smashed, glass, trashed out spew
Shit-hole smell, rat-shit view

[Chorus]
On the southside, darkside
South of the freeway, them Logan kids
Use to hang out in that trashed-out Rooster & Ribs

[Verse 5]
Graffiti, the neon cut the night
Blue light flashin', hot spotlight
Siren wailin' squealin' tyre
Time to change into overdrive
Batons, handcuffs, they carryin' guns
Cops have arrived, it’s time to run

[Chorus]
On the southside, darkside
South of the freeway, them Logan kids
Use to hang out in that trashed-out Rooster & Ribs
