Tonight The Bottle Let Me Down Lyrics - Elvis Costello

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
