Ted Leo & The Pharmacists - Bottled In Cork lyrics

rate me

There was a resolution pending on the United Nations floor

In reference to the question "What's a peace keeping force for?"

Who believed it would be solved in a day?

No one who walked out of that building on the 8th of May

In their tired-suited worn-eyed way

I got a message from my sister she just had a kid

I had to get to Copenhagen to see how she did

My haircut startled a Canadian he called me a "skid"

Though the charge for roaming the international's well hid

Someone is listening on my phone when I show up on the grid

Me - I'm just a loner in a world full of kids - egos and ids

A year before we were getting in getting bottled in Cork

On television Congress crying about abusing the pork

I told the bartender we were all from New York

Sometimes the path of least resistance will gain you the most

Well more than trying to map the distances up and down the East Coast

When you're in Munich making music raise your glass and say "Probst!"

(make it easy on your host)

Over mountains and far away

Your tribuneral mockeries of justice still dog my steps

Until I see that next smiling face

A little good will goes a mighty long way

A little good will goes a mighty long way

I finally made it up to Sweden to see Little Dove

Some folk remembered our last meeting and bore me no grudge

And from the bartender complimentary mugs!

Oh if only I could stay a while - what am I afraid of?

All this psychic damage of all the years I'm made of...

Tell the bartender I think I'm falling in love
