《Battling The Bottle》歌词

[00:00:00] Battling The Bottle - Jim Bob

[00:00:12] Battling the bottle fighting the flab

[00:00:14] At war with the world

[00:00:17] Battling the bottle fighting the flab

[00:00:20] At war with the world

[00:00:23] Everybody ran when they heard the sound

[00:00:25] Of handgun fire in the centre of town

[00:00:28] I didn't know her name but I knew the face

[00:00:30] Of the sports personality who started the race

[00:00:33] I was a long way away from my personal best

[00:00:36] With scotch on my breath and the front of my vest

[00:00:39] And now my wife's left and she's taken the kids

[00:00:41] I really know what long-distance loneliness is

[00:00:46] Battling the bottle fighting the flab

[00:00:48] At war with the world

[00:00:51] Battling the bottle fighting the flab

[00:00:53] At war with the world

[00:00:56] This is the closest thing I've ever come to being a tourist

[00:00:58] In forty years of living here I never got around to it

[00:01:01] I've never seen the curve of the Admiralty Arch

[00:01:04] Or the sailors who served on the Cutty Sark

[00:01:07] Ten miles in and I'm feeling the pain

[00:01:09] A jazz band's playing and it's starting to rain

[00:01:12] The bunions and blisters are like stones in my shoes

[00:01:15] And I've already spent the sponsor money on booze

[00:01:19] Battling the bottle fighting the flab

[00:01:21] At war with the world

[00:01:24] Battling the bottle fighting the flab

[00:01:26] At war with the world

[00:01:52] After two hours fifty-nine I hit the wall

[00:01:57] My six month's training meant nothing at all

[00:02:02] Beached like a whale with my gut in my hands

[00:02:07] I tried and I failed as a marathon man

[00:02:11] In less than a week I'd be putting away

[00:02:16] What shadow would be there i'm not serious skate

[00:02:21] My get-up-and-go will got up and gone

[00:02:25] And I'd be back down low where I started from

[00:02:31] Battling the bottle fighting the flab

[00:02:48] At war with the world
