about

CW: domestic violence
 
We wrote Delia in response to the track Delia’s Gone by Johnny Cash. Although made famous by Cash, Delia’s Gone is a historic folk song based on a real 14-year-old African American murder victim who was shot by her boyfriend. It’s a grisly lament written from Delia’s killer’s perspective and has been sang by many male artists over the years.
 
History has all too often been written by men. Delia’s story has only been told through the lens of her murderer’s regret, with no regard to her own experience. When violence against women is talked about, women are all too often robbed of their own agency and story. They are often described as ‘someone’s daughter/mother/girlfriend/wife/sister’ as if their relationship to a man is the only thing that matters, and they are not their own person.
 
Cass thought it might be an interesting idea to write a reply to Delia’s Gone from Delia’s point of view. It's a sassy, riotous comeback in which Delia sets the record straight and takes a pop at her killer.

lyrics

TW: Domestic violence
Put your fingers in my gunshot wounds
Do you doubt me now?
My little footsteps going round your bed
Can you hear me now?
I wish you never came to Memphis
Locked my Parlour door
I should have pawned your sub-machine
Goodbye forever more

Oh Johnny, if you weren’t such a useless lover
Maybe I’d be here now
Oh baby, God bless your fragile ego
I could have escaped with my life
But I’d never be your wife

Watch me suffer at your hands
Was it hard for you?
Don’t complain to the jailer man
He can’t save you
I was evil, low down and devilish
Liked to travel around
Yeah, you may have done me then
But you’ll never bring me down

Never be your wife cos you shot me
You shot me down

about

The Sewer Cats image

The Sewer Cats Manchester, UK

Ferocious, fuzzy, feline-inclined… The Sewer Cats are an explosive Manchester-based punk duo delivering riotous tunes of patriarchy-smashing fury. Their short and snappy songs have been described as ‘catchy and scathing’, bursting with hooky riffs drenched in fuzz and aggressive riot-grrrl vocals, all served up with a big helping of sass. ... more
