Elliott Smith - Southern Belle

killing a southern belle is all you know how to do
that and give other people hell
it's what they expect from you too
but i wouldn't have you how you want
i don't want to walk around
i don't even want to breathe
i live in a southern town
where all you can do is grit yr teeth
but i wouldn't have you how you want
how come you're not ashamed of what you are?
and sorry that you're the one she got?
ain't nobody looking now
nobody nothing's said
no one's about to shout
nobody's seen red
but i wouldn't have you how you want
you're killing a southern belle
killing a southern belle
killing a southern belle

Elliott Smith - Southern Belle

This was at the breakroom in seattle, not sure of the year. 1998-ish. I didn't film this show, just traded for it a long time ago.
