Lyrics Tonight The Bottle Let Me Down - Elvis Costello, The Attractions

Tonight The Bottle Let Me Down

Each night I leave the bar room when it’s over
Not feeling any pain at closing time
But tonight your memory found me much too sober
Couldn’t drink enough to keep you off my mind
Tonight the bottle let me down
And let your memory come around
The one true friend I thought I’d found
Tonight the bottle let me down
I’ve always had a bottle I could turn to And lately I’ve been turnin' every day
But the wine don’t take effect the way it used to And I’m hurtin' in old familiar ways
Tonight the bottle let me down
And let your memory come around
The one true friend I thought I’d found
Tonight the bottle let me down
Tonight the bottle let me down
