Gibsom Street Lyrics
Don’t go to Gibsom 'cross the river
the devil is hungry
the devil is sweet
if you are soft then you will shiver
they hang the alley cats on
Gibsom street
I wish my baby were forbidden
I wish my world
be struck by sleet
I wish to keep my mirror hidden
to hide the eyes that looked on
Gibsom street
There is a man; he knows where
I’m going
gave me a strawberry
to eat
I sucked its juices, never knowing
that I would sleep that night on
Gibsom street
the devil is hungry
the devil is sweet
if you are soft then you will shiver
they hang the alley cats on
Gibsom street
I wish my world
be struck by sleet
I wish to keep my mirror hidden
to hide the eyes that looked on
Gibsom street
I’m going
gave me a strawberry
to eat
I sucked its juices, never knowing
that I would sleep that night on
Gibsom street

From what I have read, this song is about a woman who gets a back alley abortion, and the lyrics describe the resulting guilt and shame she feels. There appear to be some missing lyrics, i.e. "All my sorrow, all my mourning".
Is Gibsom Street a real place? I would highly doubt it but I don't know. I don't really know what this song is talking about. Anyone have any ideas?
Actually I think this could be about fame and her insecurities with it. Also how deceitful some people can be in the business and a warning against the lifestyle.
