Bottled In Cork Lyrics - Brutalist Bricks - Ted Leo & The Pharmacists

There was a resolution pending 

On the United Nations floor 

In reference to the question 

What's a peace keeping force for? 

Who believed it would be solved in a day? 

No one who walked out of that building 

On the 8th of May 

In their tired-suited, worn-eyed way 

I got a message from my sister 

She just had a kid 

I had to get to Copenhagen 

To see how she did 

My haircut startled a Canadian 

He called me a skid 

Though the charge for roaming 

International's well hid 

Someone is listening on my phone 

When I show up on the grid 

Me, I'm just a loner 

In a world full of kids, egos and ids 

A year before and we were getting in 

Getting bottled in cork 

On television, Congress crying 

About abusing the pork 

I told the bartender 

We were all from New York 

Sometimes the path of least resistance 

Will gain you the most 

More than trying to map the distances 

Up and down the East Coast 

When you're in Munich making music 

Raise your glass and say, "Probst" 

Make it easy on your host 

Over the mountains and far away 

Your tribunal mockeries 

Of justice still dog my steps 

Until I see that next smiling face 

A little good will goes a mighty long way 

A little good will goes a mighty long way 

I finally made it up to Sweden 

To see Little Dove 

Some folk remembered our last meeting 

And bore me no grudge 

And from the bartender 

Complementary mugs 

Oh, if only I could stay a while 

What am I afraid of? 

All this psychic damage 

Of all the years I'm made of 

Tell the bartender, I think I'm falling in love 

Tell the bartender, I think I'm falling in love 

Tell the bartender, I think I'm falling in love
