[Verse 1] Life on my side ain’t champagne an’ ease Edwardian rows still hide broken dreams You call me Cottage Boy, but you drive me wild Posh lad gone rogue for a Brixton child [Verse 2] Brixton blocks where the streetlights fade Sirens sing lullabies, deals get made Walk through da grime, don’t break twice But Cottage Boy’s mine on dem Riverbank nights [Hook 1 – Call & Response] She blowin’ bubbles, Cottage Boy’s way (Forever blowin’ bubbles!) He comin’ on whites, chirpin’ back her way (Come on you whites!) “You ain’t got no history!”, she say (oi oi!) But we do, but we do! We do! …anyway “Palmer’s hurt, again on da sideline!” (oi snap!) “Yeah but Fulham still don’ got no number 9!” (ha ha!) [Bridge – Gospel Lift & Chants] South of Thames, forbidden fire Love’s a chant the terraces conspire From Brixton scars to Stamford Bridge lights We clash by day but we kiss by night (Proper football!) (Nah, da Lion’s roar!) (Ref, you’re blind!) (VAR’s a joke!) Blue & white hearts, breakin’ the score (Stand up if you love Fulham!) (Stand up if you love Chelsea!) (Who ate all the pies?) (You ate all the pies!) (Offside! Offside!) Forbidden love, South of Thames [Chorus] Blue & white, wrong or right Forbidden love on London Darby nights Cottage Boy, don’t hide dat smile Our South of Thames love run Brixton style [Hook 2 – Call & Response] She blowin’ bubbles, Cottage Boy’s way (oi oi!) He comin’ on whites, chirpin’ back her way (oi oi!) “You only sing when you’re winnin’!” (oi oi!) “You ain’t got no history!”, she say (oi oi!) But we do, but we do, we do! …anyway “Chelsea is dire, maybe bring Lampard back a third time?!” (oi oi!) “Yeah but Fulham still don’ got no cups in der lifetime!” (oi oi!) [Outro – Vocal Refrain] She chirpin’ Cottage Boy (oi oi!) “You only sing when you’re winnin’!” (oi oi!) “You ain’t got no history!” (oi oi!) But we do, but we do …anyway Blue & white, wrong or right Forbidden love on London Darby nights Cottage Boy, don’ hide dat smile Our South of Thames love run Brixton style But we do, but we do, we do! Forbidden love on London Darby nights But we do, but we do, we do! South of Thames… our love shine through (shine through) Forbidden love on London Darby nights But we do, but we do, we do! South of Thames… our love shine through (shine through) [Extended Outro – Anthem] (Chelsea!) (Chelsea!) (Chelsea!) (Fulham!) (Fulham!) (Fulham!) (Brixton!) (Brixton!) (Brixton!) South of Thames… our love shine through But we do, but we do, we do! South of Thames… our love shine through …Anyway! © Lyrics copyright 2025 DRiF – All rights reserved
