Elvis Costello - Tonight The Bottle Let Me Down lyrics

Tonight the bottle let me down It 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 It let your memory come around The one true friend i thought i'd found 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 I can't drink enough to keep you off my mind Tonight the bottle let me down It let your memory come around The one true friend i thought i'd found Tonight the bottle let me down
