Bottle Neck - Paco del Stinko

(He's a) Bottle Neck
(He's a) Bottle Neck
(He's a) Bottle Neck
(He's a) Bottle Neck

Hey Bottle Neck neck like a bottle
Don't get upset just give us a waddle
Set your head a bobbin' ain't never gonna be a stoppin'
Put you in your place like Batman did to Robin

(He's a) Bottle Neck
(He's a) Bottle Neck
(He's a) Bottle Neck

I don't know why they all hate me so
I may be a geek and no super dynamo
But inside I'm still just a regular guy
I'm like anyone else simply trying to get by
I may not be able to look some of these folks in the eye
But one of these days I'll give them a piece of my pie

Hey Bottle Neck why don't you run
You better be careful where you point that gun
Did we push you too hard every day out in the school yard
We made the game but you drew the card

Life isn't always fair - Life can be so cruel
But nothing can compare - To being young and in school

(He's a) Bottle Neck
(He's a) Bottle Neck
(He's a) Bottle Neck

BOTTLE NECK

By STEVIEROCK

Flash on the TV set
Cold chillin' my Army vet
Crack a smile and make a bet
Inside the bottle neck

Black ops secret Tec
Red hot bounce a check
Feelin' like a total wreck
Ooooo
Aztec wait a sec
Home ec what the heck
Opec Boba Fett
Inside a bottle neck

(psycho rambling)

I got Tribble trouble
I'm hen-pecked again
Heartache hit the deck
Hit the deck
Hit the deck

[A Bootleg]

Garrett Hardin passed away
Hemlock on his breath
That same earth that formed his clay,
Ever so bereft,
Follows him in death.

Thomas Malthus' spacious earth,
Norman Borlaug's bread,
Every light that it gave birth,
Soul in every head
All now full of dread.

Who do you love and who do you kill,
Given the cash to fund a free will?
Get on the ark or go into the storm?
Stay and build a raft
With all your handicraft?

BOTTLE NECK
By Micah Sommersmith

Oh, can we make it through, can we make it through
Oh, can we make it through, can we make it through
Oh, can we make it through, can we make it through
Through the bottle neck
And out the other side?

This is a trying time, right?
Time to stop and try to get our minds right
We may think we’re in the prime of our lives
But when we look back in hindsight
We’ll find we were lying, right?

Feels like we’re in a bottle neck
It was apparent that our parents went and stacked the deck
But now we’re the ones holding the cards,
We’re the house, and we’ve found out - hey dealing is hard!

I gotta tell you, it feels weird
I pay rent, I got a job, I grew a real beard
I got a wife, and we run our own life
It’s like, it’s like I’ve become what I most feared.

No, I fear what I haven’t become
I still feel confused and useless and dumb
A silly little sucker sitting sucking his thumb,
Like how did I get here? and where did I come from?
And where am I going and am I blowing it and is my insecurity showing
Are people noticing this?
I’m serious, am I delirious, or are my bleary-eyed failing immaterial?
I’m curious: see, if I had to deal with me, I’d be furious.

Then I realize: we’re all stuck in that bottle neck
Trying to squeeze through, no one knowing what the heck
Is waiting on the other side, scared, tired, going for it,
Hoping we end up just with something to show for it
Thinking maybe we can do this, maybe we’ll get through this,
At the very least, maybe we’ll get used to this
Maybe it’s a phase, maybe things change,
Maybe we just learn to be okay with things being strange,
Maybe our parents didn’t know how things would go
Just putting on a show while they watched us grow
Hoping we’d figure out what they never could
Hoping maybe we’d do great where they did good
Well they did what they could and now we will too,
We’ll pull ourselves together and we’ll squeeze through.

Oh, will I make it through, will I make it through
Oh, will I make it through, will I make it through
Oh, will I make it through, will I make it through
Through the bottle neck
And out the other side?

I guess I’m gonna try.

Bottle Neck - The Magnetic Letters

Waiting at the airport next to Dennis Rodman
Trying to sit down here comfortably
I might have lied when I said I was Eric Clapton
These bottleneck blues are deep inside of me
Never thought I'd have them so deep inside of me

Drinking at the Bull's Head with my pals when I saw
This oriental chap was sitting all alone
I said “Hey man, why don't you come join us?
My name's Eric, hey you might have heard my songs”
I was just joking, I thought he was playing along

He bought us the next round
Then I had to sit down
I hit my head on the bar
Then I was bundled in a black car

Next thing I know I woke up in Pyongyang City
With a pounding head and a bad taste in my mouth
I was on billboards with Kim Jong Un standing next to me
Said “Eric Clapton loves the North and hates the South
He's playing a show we want you all to come on down”

A hundred-and-fifty-thousand North Koreans waiting
For Tears in Heaven, that's what they'd all come to see
Instead of tears, man, I was sweating bullets
Guess this is what it's like in purgatory

Would you know my name?
Well obviously not or I'd be back home in Surrey
Instead of playing delta blues for all you reds
And by the way my white pants are quickly turning brown

Rip his fucking heart out
Blow his fucking brains out
Pull his fucking teeth out

Is what my translator said to me, as Kim Jong Un waved his arms and shouted violently

But Dennis said “Hey, Kimbo, play it cool
We all make mistakes; yeah I should know
And besides, your blood pressure's too high”

He thought about it, and said
“We still must teach this English swine”, and that's why

I'm waiting at the airport next to Dennis Rodman
Trying to sit down here comfortably
I don't even look that much like Eric Clapton
Now this bottle neck's inside of me
I mean literally

Bottle Neck (sweet sue) by Toby Roktot

open with mandolin. Am. to G. open g tuning on flat top


grabbed a long neck bottle ...... inside door of the fridge
raised to my lips ... took a looooong cool swig
heard the door slam ... keys tossed on the table
shook my head to myself, fight's comin'....... i ain't able

so i slipped out the back door . sneakin' round the house
climbed in my truck ..... quiet as a mouse
saw her glarin' out the window.... mmmm, if looks could kill
she smashed thru the glass . crawlin' over the sill

i told the cops ... i didn't mean to do it
long neck bottle slipped outta my hand wedged under the brake
all there was to it
truck ended on the porch . sweet sue under the wreck
she died cussin' me ... my salvation ..caused by a bottle neck.

twelve man jury ..... said i outta go free
it was a cryin' shame..... how sweet sue, treated me
a slip of the bottle ... no premeditated intent
damn brake couldn't grab..unintended ..consequence

i told 'em all ... i didn't mean to do it
long neck bottle slipped outta my hand wedged under the brake...
all there was to it
truck rammed the porch pushed sweet sue right through the deck,
she died cussin' me.....guess i shouldn't smile.... but i love that bottle neck

close with mandolin.

Bottle Neck, by Gert.

Smalltown, start us off:
I know you want to be the man, and
start something, make a plan and
you want to let the fire burn
but you’ve got a lot to learn so
slow down but don’t waste your time.
Hurry up to the end of the line.
You better get your elbows up –
get ready to push and shove.

We’ve all been in the spot you are,
looking for a seat at the end of the bar.
you want to tip the bottleneck
but you’ll take what you can get
and the air is getting thin
and everybody wants the same things.
You want to squeeze on through
But there’s isn’t any room for you.

Des, what do you have to say?:
You can be replaced like I was,
Waiting for better days, like I was.

Smalltown:
Hey kid — you know you look like
every kid whoever did or didn’t do shit
And hey kid — while you sit and think about this,
you sit and sip and time still shifts.
Loosen up that grip; let the bottle neck slip.
these days step ahead and step quick.
Let them take their trip,
because hey kid — you’ve got to lose that grip.
That bottle takes more than it gives.

Des:
You can be replaced like I was
Waiting for better days, like I was.

Boltoph, with your golden voice, please tell us what it all means?
Holding us here, the longer we're there
Holding us dear
The longer we listen, the louder it gets
The sound of our voice in our heads
The longer we listen, the louder it gets
The sound of all of us, in our heads
The longer we're in here, the tighter it gets
Wondering when you'll push out the next
The longer we sit here, the tighter it gets
Pushing us through this bottle neck, bottle neck

"Bottle neck"
By The grim

"Sample from the Doctor Who episode "A good man goes to war"

Demons run when a good man goes to war
Demons run when a good man goes to war
Bottleneck
Your forces through the ships hull
Bottleneck
You have no card to play
Bottleneck
The headless monks and silence
Bottleneck
Captain runaway
Hold on tightly he'll keep on fighting
Bringing the morning light home
He's coming for us
(im coming for you)
Don't give up hope
REFRAIN

Gone in an instant
How could I have known
We will search all of time and space
We will hold you again
Give us time
We will find
No matter how far
Through space or time

[The Overambitious]

Bottle Neck by The Overambitious

And we’re blocked by what isn't true
With these broken walls were walking to
And if I was to believe again
Then maybe I would see them

Bleed
You’re stuck in a bottleneck
And you’ll believe what has left
You fake what you feel
And you break what is real

Time
Is wasted on the things that fade away
Heart’s just fade into the gray
How do we stay

Away
You’re stuck in a bottleneck
And you’ll believe what has left
You fake what you feel
And you break what is real

Break

I’m tired of seeing fake walls

When we let fear control our minds

Falling down
We’re falling down
Falling down
We’re falling down
To get up

Bleed
You’re stuck in a bottleneck
