Robbie Williams - South Of The Border Lyrics
Send this Ringtone to your Cell(Goes a little something like this)
I know a freaky young lady
Name of no shame 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 gonna have to leave
South of the border
I think you oughta
I think you oughta
[Chorus]
'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 toe the line and move in time
To a town called no regrets
South of the border
I think you oughta
I think you oughta
[Repeat Chorus]
Yeah yeah
Oooh oh yeah
Ooh oh yeah
'Cos you know you're gonna have to leave
To a place where you can breathe
[Repeat Chorus]
Yeah

Song details
South Of The Border was about Robbie "completely losing the plot" the year before. His third release failed to make much of an impact and by this point, many thought he was doomed to fail.
Robbie: "I whistle along on this track like Roger Whitaker but the song is about me completely losing the plot last year and leaving home to move to London."
Although not making a huge impact in Europe, South Of The Border hit the UK's top 20 in September 1997, reaching No.14.
