The Butcher And Fast Eddy Lyrics - Singles - Remedy

(Rose Tattoo) 

It happened in the suburbs north of the river 

Where the smokestacks scrape the air 

And gangs of short haired boys roam the streets 

Get out of their way, 'cause there out to get their share 

Now Butcher, he was the leader 

Had a reputation for being tough but fair 

He knew life was just a gamble 

So he lived from day to day without a care 

Stick around and I'll tell ya 

About Butcher and Fast Eddy 

Across the river lived Fast Eddy 

He was known to be treacherous, very mean 

Even Eddy's sweet young sister out on the streets 

Just a girl, barely fifteen

Now Fast Eddy, he led the rival gang 

And he claimed he was better...than most 

One day I'm gonna fix that Butcher 

Always seemed to be this cocky braggart's boast 

There's only the quick and the dead 

I wanna know who's layin' down 

Now, I'm gonna win this fight said Eddy 

Yeah...'cause I'm gonna take a knife, and I'm gonna take a gun 

But Butcher, he told his mates as they gathered 'round 

I got two good fists, and you know I never... 

Never ever ever been afraid of anyone 

And it came the night, at last for their meeting 

I can't lose said Eddy, 'cause I'm the best 

But the cold light of morning found Eddy 

His own switchblade knife...buried deep in his chest! 

Yeah that's it all....Oh-WOW Butcher, and Fast Eddy 

Yeah that's it all

And the law never did touch Butcher 

And I'm so glad, 'cause I know so well 

He was a born with a wild free spirit, and he never... 

He never was the kind to live locked up in some dirty stinkin' cell 

And the kids, they still talk about it 

In the back streets and alleyways around town 

They still talk about that cold, windy Saturday night 

That old Butcher...ya know, he put Fast Eddy down...
