Phileas - Pop Goes the Bottle

from Lost and Found by Phil Nice

/

about

This song was born as a bluesy swing number in 1992, but got reinvented as latin in this duet version from 2007.

lyrics

Morning comes as morning will
And it’s just too bright to see
Your head’s all full of morning blues
And there ain’t no sympathy
The birds are singing way too loud
And breakfast won’t go down
So you’re out the door
And down the street
Heading into town
Pop goes the bottle
And the plans you had today
Pop goes the bottle
Wash your tears away
You get to talking with the gang
‘Bout the country at this time
What the government is putting down
Ain’t nothing but a crime
The newspapers have got it wrong
‘Bout what has made it so
And maybe you’re the only one
That’s really in the know
The sky is grey and black in spots
And starts down with the snow
The one you love ain’t loving you
But that’s the way it goes
And friends of yours
They need your help
From sleeping in the cold
But you’re too busy
Washing out your troubles
To be told
The boss looks down
