Choice Hops And Bottled Self-Esteem Lyrics
Last call, lights on, pull your faces off the bar.
Go to church because you need a good cleansing of body, mind and soul.
I never thought it possible I think I fell in love with someone worse than me,
and i love you to death
I dont think I like you anymore.
The healing power of alcohol only works on scrapes and nicks,
and not on girls in seedy bars who drown themselfs in it.
They say that sent is the strongest sense thats tied to memory.
The stench of this place is lmost as bad as the memory tied to it.
Try to forget that sickening stench with everything I've got.
but you cant trust a heart that is cold from the start.
You just waste your time on it.
The healing power of alcohol only works on scrapes and nicks,
and not on girls in seedy bars who drown themselfs in it.
You can play all day and tell your friends that everythings alright.
The truth is that your heart collapsed two years ago tonight.
You should thank your lucky stars fro all the times you've been ashamed.
You learn more from the harder times the times that should be named.
The lesson leared is pricless gained if you could take this in.
You threw away your friends as if drinks were all the friends you need
The healing power of alcohol only works on scrapes and nicks,
and not on girls in seedy bars who drown themselfs in it.
You can play all day and tell your friends that everythings alright.
The truth is that your heart collapsed two years ago tonight.
The truth is that your heart collapsed two years ago tonight.
Go to church because you need a good cleansing of body, mind and soul.
I never thought it possible I think I fell in love with someone worse than me,
and i love you to death
I dont think I like you anymore.
and not on girls in seedy bars who drown themselfs in it.
The stench of this place is lmost as bad as the memory tied to it.
Try to forget that sickening stench with everything I've got.
but you cant trust a heart that is cold from the start.
You just waste your time on it.
and not on girls in seedy bars who drown themselfs in it.
You can play all day and tell your friends that everythings alright.

You learn more from the harder times the times that should be named.

these lyrics are off...did you even bother to look at the lyrics in the cd book?
these lyrics are way off, but this song is amazing nonetheless.
it is sickening when people use alcohol and getting trashed as an excuse for ridiculous behavior.
bayside always comes up with the most creative ways of getting across what they want to say, i love them.
one comment (P&&%^%&^???
i LOVE this song.. one of my favs on the new cd
The meaning of this song could probably be summed up in two lines brought straight down from the lyrics:
"You threw away your friends as if drinks were all the friends you need"
and
"The healing power of alcohol only works on scrapes and nicks."
Simple enough. Alcohol is a temporary replacement for real life. An all-too-short escape that's not worth the trouble in the first place.
soo alkaline trio esque. love it
Love this song!
the lyrics here are fairly accurate besides a ton of typos, which are slightly annoying. i think the cd cover-ish thing is a bit off... [from wat i can tell from other sites]
i think that the song is about falling in love with someone [i never thought it was possible, but i think i fell in love with someone worse than me] who is still troubled by something that happened two years ago, maybe a bad breakup or death [the truth is that your heart collapsed two years ago tonight] and on the anniversary she drinks herself into oblivion trying to make the memory go away [they say scent is the strongest sense...]. he's trying to tell her that alcohol isnt going to solve her problems [the healing power of alcohol...] and that the hard times in her life will eventually teach her valuble lessons, [you should thank your lucky stars for all the times you've been ashamed...] and she should stop trying to wish those times away, no matter how much it hurts.
i dont think its simply expressing disgust for ppl who get drunk and make fools of themselves, altho i do agree with the statement that its sickening...
love the song!
This song is simple enough really. He's talking about a friend (obviously a girl) who uses Alcohol to cope with a hardship in her life which also obviously occured about two years ago. He feels bad for her, and maybe some pity there too? Iuno. I'm not good at that feeling crap. Also, the lyrics before the end are wrong.
It should be: Thank your lucky stars for all the times you've been ashamed You learn more from the harder times then times that you've been made A lesson learned is priceless gain if you can take the sting You threw away your friends as if drinks are all the friends you need
bad ass guitar solo
Love this song though
I agree with mieolhc and what he said about the lyrics in the booklet. I think they had the lyrics written down and when Ant. was recording the vocals he changed some of them, and they didnt bother changing them afterwards. Same thing with RHCP's Stadium Arcadium but thats off subject.
This song is obviously a follow up to "Masterpiece." Anthony is either talking to a close friend who he watches waste his/her life away...who didn't get the message from his first warning in Masterpiece.."Always the last one to leave the table emptied til every bottle in the place has been upside downat least a few times what a waste. What has become of you these days?" I've met these guys and it strikes me how in tune they are and thoughtful with what they say. A lot of times just flat out brutal honesty! One of the most creative guys in the biz.
