Late Night
The Delinquents Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The best in town
She was a sweet young thing
And she messed me around
Yeah she was a hustler
With steel in her blouse
A real sharp shooter
And her daddy'd be proud
Yeah you know that they're chasing you lady
Them diamonds and pearls you're parading
Well, they make that bed that you're laid in
She'll sell you sweet, sweet dreams when you ain't looking
And she'll put you to sleep for good
Her panties'll swell from her pennies in a well
Just wishing that you would
Hands of a thief and a heart made of sleet, oh baby
Why you gotta be so cold?
Blood on her lips and her polished fingertips
They make you wonder where you went wrong
Cause she's unforgiving, lustful living
Unpredictable, oo oo
Whiskey sipping, loaded clip in
And she may unload
I don't know why she live that lifestyle, like lights out
Her thoughts dark, her hair brown
Nose pierced, her skin glow
Got no fear, smoke indo
So tough, she fight hard
She play rough, leave bite marks
Won't stop, she can't stop
She wants to feel life's scars
But why you hurt yourself?
How the hell you let it burn so well? Uh huh
Inhale, exhale
Hit the gas until the turbo's felt Uh huh
Ain't no escape
Broken hearted stuck in her ways Uh huh
Said her grace
Prayed the devil her soul to take
She'll sell you sweet, sweet dreams when you ain't looking
And she'll put you to sleep for good
Her panties'll swell from her pennies in a well
Just wishing that you would
Hands of a thief and a heart made of sleet, oh baby
Why you gotta be so cold?
Blood on her lips and her polished fingertips
They make you wonder where you went wrong
The Delinquents' song "Late Night" is a tale about a woman who is a hustler and a thief, but also a lover. The singer laments his former lover's lifestyle, describing her as unforgiving and unpredictable. Despite the chaos that seems to surround her, she still manages to lure people in with sweet dreams and desires, only to put them to sleep for good. She has a heart made of sleet and her hands are like those of a thief, leaving bite marks wherever she goes. Her pennies in a well can't buy her everything, but they are enough to make her panties swell. The singer wonders how and why she burns so bright, exhaling smoke as she speeds away, leaving broken hearts and wondering where they went wrong.
The song seems to be a warning about getting involved with someone who is not only dangerous but also emotionally unavailable. The woman described in the song is a thrill-seeker, someone who is not content with the ordinary and seeks out danger at every turn. Her unpredictability and unforgiving nature make her a difficult person to be with, but the singer still can't help but be drawn to her.
Interestingly, the song has a prominent bassline that holds the melody together, and the drums are sparse but effective. The lyrics are vivid and evocative, painting a picture of a woman who is both alluring and dangerous. The vocals are plaintive, with the singer pleading with the woman to change her ways.
