    sleazeroxx.com "the results on Downtown Eastside are stupendous, Downtown Eastside is a virtual shoo-in for the Sleaze Roxx’s Top Ten Albums of 2017"

    sleazenation.be "This sure is a gem that will stand the test of time. With great songs like “Junkie Girl”, “My Part Of Town”, “Swing And A Miss” and “Crawling Back To Me” it´s very hard to imagine that “Downtown Eastside” won´t be on a lot of “Best Of 2017” lists at the end of the year."

    9/10 Rating - sleazethiscity.com "Friends fans of HANOI ROCKS, STONES, NEW YORK DOLLS and all the bunch of bands, welcome to the world of DIRTBAG REPUBLIC and this second album DOWNTOWN EASTSIDE. For the least we can say is that you will not be disappointed."

lyrics

Here comes that junkie girl
trying to bum my smokes again
Cross the street like a Tilt a whirl
Back and forth, then back again

I see her on my way to work
wondering where she will end up
Sad times ahead for her
Back alleys, parking lots and cars

Wake up in the middle of night
Still wondering if she’ll be alright
Never know if she made it home that night
Destination East Hastings St.
where no one wants to be
Where everything is not alright

Ya, Ya Ya,
Here comes that junkie girl, ya
Ya, Ya Ya
Cross the street like a Tilt a whirl, ya
Ya, Ya Ya,
Here comes that junkie girl, ya
Ya, Ya Ya
Cross the street like a Tilt a whirl, ya

Once a month it’s Mardi Gras
Frogger classic in your car
I don’t see that junkie girl
Crossing back and forth again

I see her on my way to work
wondering where she will end up
Sad times ahead for her
Back alleys, parking lots and cars

Wake up in the middle of night
Still wondering if she’ll be alright
Never know if she made it home that night
Destination East Hastings St.
where no one wants to be
Where everything is not alright

Ya, Ya Ya,
Here comes that junkie girl, ya
Ya, Ya Ya
Cross the street like a Tilt a whirl, ya
