"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

Today is a Mutations kind of day. Listless, brooding, and thoughtful. I am getting ready to go to Lansing for a work conference and in preparation I have been by listening to albums I listened to while I lived there. This is one of them. It reminds me of the countless drives out to Grand Ledge in my maroon Chevy Lumina to spend the afternoon playing disc golf, climbing the ledges, and grilling. Windows down, beer in the cooler, people with their feet out the windows, and Mutations blaring away under the clear blue sunny sky... good times.

Your about fucking stupid. Drunks are every bit as bad as stoners, if not worse. I should vandalize your special parts so that you don't spread our inept genes of idiocracy faggot.

"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.

Oh no I don't listen to it. I search it, post hate, thumb down and then leave. Just goes to show that how much of a fucking pussy beck is. Beck is a jew (literally) and I hate his guts forever. Go suck a prick.

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!

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.

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