Bottle of Blues - Beck

"Bottle of Blues" by Beck off of the album "Mutations"
Let me know if any of the lyrics are wrong or if you notice any blips in the audio.
I just found me a bottle of blues
Some strange comfort for a soul to soothe
Ain't it hard, ain't it hard
To want somebody who doesn't want you
And I've been waiting for a year or a day
Some strange weather must be blowing my way
Cause I got no mind
To go or to stay or be left behind
Holding hands with an impotent dream
In a brothel of fake energy
Put a nickel in a graveyard machine
I get higher and lower
I get higher and lower
Like a tired soldier with nothing to shoot
And nowhere to lose this bottle of blues
Egos drone and pose alone
Like black balloons, all banged and blown
On a backwards river
The infidels shiver in the stench of belief
I tell my momma I'm a hundred years late
I'm over the rails and out of the race
The crippled psalms
Of an age that won't thaw ringing in my ears
Holding hands with an impotent dream
In a brothel of fake energy
Put a nickel in a graveyard machine
I get higher and lower
I get higher and lower
Like a tired soldier with nothing to shoot
And nowhere to lose this bottle of blues
Well, I just found me a bottle of blues
Some strange comfort for a soul to soothe
Ain't it hard, ain't it hard
To want somebody who doesn't want you
Holding hands with an impotent dream
In a brothel of fake energy
Put a nickel in a graveyard machine
I get higher and lower
I get higher and lower
Like a tired soldier with nothing to shoot
And nowhere to lose this bottle of blues
Bottle of blues

You al should know, if you like beck, that Blues is infact a type of "emotional" tunes. Mama's and the Papa's, Califonia Dreaming? Anyone? That has alot of emotion, blues comes from the soul and speaking what you want. It's good that blues has morphed into rock and roll, for our generation and our next generations to come. THANK YOU MUSIC!

This man has always been an artist I looked up to for the way he incorporates all styles of music in what he creates. He has put out a huge amount of music too. Cheers to Beck

[@drewstrom75]

Beck is my favorite musical artist.

[@RyujinnofKaiser]

He's alive. Some people are out of touch with the world. And his music is great, original. If you can't appreciate it, don't listen.

[@JHWebMarketingVideos]

I'm thinking the same: that it's been TOO long since we've heard from him. Not that he doesn't deserve to take a few years off. He has been prolific, and that can't go on forever. Let's hope the break is recharging his creative batteries.

[@Kitsuneaya]

I love this song :).

[@vedderim]

This Bob fella is quite the card.

[@vedderim]

"Emo", "Overly-Emo"? What? No. This is the blues. The difference between the blues and emo is this, with the blues you can be down and out and still be the coolest cat in the room.

[@SirReal1958]

I'm starting to get worried. Beck has not put out an album since 2008. I hope his recording career isn't over. The music world needs to hear new Beck songs!

[@ruaxhatsafon]

beck was born a scientologist.

[@lyonslaforet]

@DarwinDiabl0 I agree with you. I've always preferred it to Odelay (1996)!

[@MacRaisen]

Brilliant! I wonder if Beck really had those kind of problems?

[@ManiaKattaK]

@multivitamins4all
don't forget diamond bollocks, the paranoid android throwback

[@darling_danke_schoen]

Ain't NO-BODY like Beck... all tags aside!

[@gonzxp]

no sound :c

[@wasabihansen]

this can be considered blues or alternative country, and it's definetly no emo, emo are m.c.r. and simple plan

[@dchuricci]

what the hell? theres no sound?

[@vedderim]

But I haven't touched drugs before... :( But I do drink!

[@gsdgsdgdhsadds]

the acoustic part kinda sounds like the led zeppelin song, friends

[@maalbe987]

@DarwinDiabl0 Not even Midnite Vultures or Sea Change?!

[@XxGaryGorexX]

Emo mean emotive hardcore its not a negative word.

[@WOKPOK]

Song ends at 4:55/4:56 huh??

[@sicralfe]

I think Beck can't really fit in any genre, his music is a mix of a lot of things. Bottle of Blues, Tropicalia, Sexx Laws, Get Real Paid, Debra, Steal My Body Home, The New Pollution... So different!

[@ShadowXSnake]

@jnphlppdsr Which is a worse fate than death. Rest in peace Beck.
Damn those Scientologists and their soul stealing scams!

[@Bob12345678910423]

your*

[@jeankavanagh1485]

no sound on this shit either.

[@black_squall]

The comments are filled with meatheads. Come on this is beck. Chill out folks.

[@J_PhD]

@MarijuanaMichelle ??? Maybe too much marijuana for you. He's not dead. Maybe just a little scientologist. But not dead yet.
