Bottle Take Effect Lyrics

Well I'm sittin' here a glass so near filled with my one concern
Oh bottle you've done led me to the point of no return
You took away my happy days my life's a total wreck
You took the only things I owned so bottle take effect
Take effect and take away these blues that drive me wild
Take effect make me forget these troubles for a while
Then just lead me to those lights of blue on the corner of regret
In some barroom I'll lose my gloom so bottle take effect
[ piano ]
You took away my fortune while I drank away my pride
Humiliations my misfortune and there's no place left to hide
The best place is the gutter there I won't need respect
Cause when in Rome you'll do as the Romans do oh bottle take effect
Take effect and take away all these blues...

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
