South Side
Moby Lyrics
I see myself in the pouring home
I see the light come over known
I see myself in the pouring rain
I watch hope come over me
Here we are now, going to the East side
I pick up my friends and we start to ride
Ride all night and we ride all day
Some may come love and some may stay
I watch the light man fallen comb
I watch a light move across the screen
I watch the light come over me
Here we are now going to the West side
Weapons in hand as we go for a ride
Some may come love and some may stay
Watching out for the sunny day, where
There's love and darkness and my sidearm
Hey élan élan
Here we are now going to the North side
I look at my friends as they start to ride
Ride all night and we ride all day
Looking out for the sunny day
Here we are now going to the South side
(To the South side)
I pick up my friends and we hope we won't die
(Hope we won't die)
Ride at night, ride through Heaven and Hell
(Heaven and Hell)
Come back love and I feel so well
(Feel so well)

“South Side” oddly enough is my least favorite song on the record. I just don’t think it’s all that interesting. My favorite thing about “South Side” is the subject matter. It’s essentially a song about abject amorality. I love that it’s a happy sing-along pop song about kids that become so inured to violence and become so desensitized that nothing gets through to them. It’s about people who have become so over-exposed to stimuli that nothing matters to them anymore. Read Full Bio“South Side” oddly enough is my least favorite song on the record. I just don’t think it’s all that interesting. My favorite thing about “South Side” is the subject matter. It’s essentially a song about abject amorality. I love that it’s a happy sing-along pop song about kids that become so inured to violence and become so desensitized that nothing gets through to them. It’s about people who have become so over-exposed to stimuli that nothing matters to them anymore. I like the idea of having subtle, very disturbing lyrics hidden in a happy-friendly pop song. And I also like the fact that no one stopped to listen to the lyrics — which is fine with me.
Gwen Stefani came into the studio while I was recording Play. And this was when the first No Doubt record was doing really well. So I couldn’t figure out why she’d want to go into the studio with me. She was a big rock star and I was a has-been. She came into the studio, she recorded the vocals and she did a great job. But my mixing skills are limited. I couldn’t get a mix with her vocals that worked. I tried and I tried. So the first album version didn’t have her vocals on it. I went back to it a year later and handed it off to a friend who was a good mixer, and he was able to actually do a mix with her vocals that worked. So, that’s why there’s two versions”.

Lyrics
See myself in the pouring home
See the light come over now
See myself in the pouring rain
I watch hope come over me
Here we are now going to the east side
I pick up my friends and we start to ride
Ride all night we ride all day
Some may come and some may stay
Here we are in the pouring home
I watch the light man fall the comb
I watch a light move across the screen
I watch the light come over me
Here we are now going to the west side
Weapons in hand as we go for a ride
Some may come and some may stay
Watching out for a sunny day where there's
Love and darkness and my sidearm
Hey, elan
Here we are now going to the north side
I look at my friends as they start to ride
Ride at night we ride all day
Looking out for a sunny day
Here we are now going to the south side
I pick up my friends and we hope we won't die
Ride at night, ride through heaven and hell
Come back and feel so well

Lyrics
See myself in the pouring home
See the light come over now
I see myself in the pouring rain
I watch hope come over me
Here we are now going to the east side
I pick up my friends and we start to ride
Ride all night, yeah we ride all day
Some may come and some may stay
Here we are in the pouring home
I watch the light man fall the comb
I watch a light move across the screen
I watch the light come over me
Here we are now going to the west side
Weapons in hand as we go for a ride
Some may come and some may stay
Watching out for a sunny day
Where there's
Love and darkness and my sidearm
Hail on and on
Here we are now going to the north side
I look at my friends as they start to ride
Ride at night, yeah we ride all day
Looking out for a sunny day
Here we are now going to the south side
I pick up my friends and we hope we won't die
Ride at night, ride through heaven and hell
Come back and feel so well

Be happy that you're alive, 'Viv. Entirely too many brothers and sisters can no longer say the same after the unmitigated disaster that was '20
