Red Wine, Success! Lyrics
He pours the wine into his coffee cup
The jazz has dropped
It's time to pick it up
Two thirty, he rolls out of this brass at last
Terrence Love is barkin' something crass
Each night a thousand stairs go up both ways
Soul and color peeking through his sleeves
M's down at the coast
It too late for buses' run
Slide down to his headphones
Sleeps to Solo Monk
Success, success, his smile is saccharine
Glamorous, he's pouring Pancho's gin
Lives his live a painful and lovely day
In the history of a great pregnancy
Squat public library, checkin' out the trial
Strolls to the pier to gather his thoughts
Squat public library, checkin' out the trial
He's talkin' to himself about it
He's gonna get upset, get upset
He can't sleep
He'll have another cigarette
He's gonna get upset, get upset
The jazz has dropped
It's time to pick it up
Two thirty, he rolls out of this brass at last
Terrence Love is barkin' something crass
Soul and color peeking through his sleeves
M's down at the coast
It too late for buses' run
Slide down to his headphones
Sleeps to Solo Monk
Glamorous, he's pouring Pancho's gin
Lives his live a painful and lovely day
In the history of a great pregnancy
Strolls to the pier to gather his thoughts
Squat public library, checkin' out the trial
He's talkin' to himself about it
He can't sleep
He'll have another cigarette
He's gonna get upset, get upset

I seen CWK in 2010 at the Wiltern and before Nathan sang this song he said, "This song's called Red Wine, Success. This song's about my brother"
the correct lyrics are:
he pours the wine into his coffee cup the jazz has dropped, its time to pick it up 2:30 he rolls out of this brass at last terrence love is barking something crass
each night a thousand stairs go up both ways soul and colour peeking through his sleeves m's down at the coast its too late for busses run slides into his headphones, sleeps to solo monk
success success his smile is saccharine glamorous he's pouring pancho's gin lives hes life a painful and lovely day in the history of a great pregnancy
squat public library checking out "the trial" strolls to the pier to gather his thoughts he's talking to himself about it
he don't get upset can't sleep he'll have another ciggarette
haha, that first lyrical translation was terrible. i was reading it at first extremely confused.
terrence love aka the owner of steamers in downtown fullerton. wonder if he knows he's infamous now.. "barking something crass" haha
People need to stop copying and pasting from the other lyric sites, which are way off. This song is wonderfully written.
meaning?
im not to sure about the meaning, but i believe nathan wrote this song about his brother.

these lyrics are incorrect!
This song does seem to be about Terrence Love, owner of the jazz club Steamers in Fullerton, CA. "Poncho" refers to Steamers regular Poncho Sanchez. "Solo Monk" is referring to Thelonious Monk, I assume.
