Bottle Street Deep Dive (Patreon)

Hello everyone!

Very excited to give you a deep dive into the music and lyrics of our latest single, Bottle Street. This song means a lot to us, and we hope you've taken the time to listen to it! We're very happy about it, and hope that everyone can enjoy this goodness. We've made it available to all patrons because we want everyone to hear more about this song that we love so much. We open the episode of the podcast with an acoustic version of the song, and the episode ends with the actual song, so enjoy it! We sure as heck enjoy this song.

The lyrics are here for your study:

My eyes could not believe

what stood there in front of me

the shopping cart sultans 

Are kings of bottle street

old zeus was on his knees

When the sky split open

I could hear him laugh beneath the thunder barely coping

Cause he always said the winter'd never last

A beacon shining, hope for more than

a brief respite, just a moment.

We all wonder could it last then

I saw bylaw roll through heaven

My heart beneath their feet

Our tarps around our necks

While their shoulders square and proud

There eyes had no regrets

They rolled like pack rat black cats

Collecting death in trash bags

all of our friends belongings into the truck bed like a coffin

Squares of trampled grass was all they left

A beacon shining, hope for more than

a brief respite, just a moment.

We all wonder could it last then

I saw bylaw roll through heaven

Where do you go from the zero mile? Over the bend and away for a while

Never forget that francophone smile with the winter like summer when the poor felt rich

What do you mean that it ain't our home? Take our tents, our tarps our hope, make up signs so the tourists know there ain't no bums in the park no more

A beacon shining, hope for more than

a brief respite, just a moment.

We all wonder could it last then

I saw bylaw roll through heaven
