Bubble Lyrics
I won't let you fall as low as I been.
I promise to crawl until I'm back on my feet.
If something were wrong, do you think I'd leave?
If something went wrong, don't you know I'd be here.
So who's been unfair? Who causes you sorrow?
And who's been unkind? Who'd burst your bubble?
And who drags you down, down, down, down...?
Who handed out lines? And now I'm in trouble.
I'll leave you to grieve, tear over my letters.
And frenzy the pace, rain squall in all weather.
You rue your regrets, that drop out the present.
Hurl abuse at the world, heap scorn upon treasure.
I won't let you fall as low as I been.
I promise to crawl until I'm back on my feet
If something were wrong, do you think I'd leave?
If something went wrong, Don't you know I'd be here.
I promise to crawl until I'm back on my feet.
If something were wrong, do you think I'd leave?
If something went wrong, don't you know I'd be here.
And who's been unkind? Who'd burst your bubble?
And who drags you down, down, down, down...?
Who handed out lines? And now I'm in trouble.
And frenzy the pace, rain squall in all weather.
You rue your regrets, that drop out the present.
Hurl abuse at the world, heap scorn upon treasure.
I promise to crawl until I'm back on my feet
If something were wrong, do you think I'd leave?
If something went wrong, Don't you know I'd be here.

I identify very personally with these lyrics.
For me, this is the song a man can sing to his partner, who is loyally understanding of his emotional troubles. To the point at which his partner can weather the storm of sorrows, and perhaps even unkind words, with the hope that someday he may get back on his feet again... and remember that he respects his partner..
its a conversation between to people, that care a lot about the other.
One is vowing to help the other who is currently in trouble - "I wont let you fall, as low as I've been" the other is down the dumps is vowing to try. I promise to crawl until I'm back on my feet"
The mood of the album really paints the picture for the conversation..
KC - This is a fairly old song, and a reject from one of my earlier bands in the 90s. It even appears as an old song on an album I put out on fence in 2001 called "king creosote says buy the bazouki hair oil", my 16th title in fact. The original song is simple enough - boy does bad, promises to do better, big sentiments and commitments if and only when desperately needed.
Jon asked for a second verse, many years after those particular emotions had long been transferred several times over, so I tried to pen something that not only illustrates the fact that many years have indeed gone by in the writing, but to bring in some older cynicism to counter the naivety in the original. Oh, and to try and not spoil it in any way. I'm proud of the wordplay in the new verse, and in particular "harl abuse at the wall".

I am somehow associated with supplying the words to this song, however those are not the words I associate with this song. I did submit the first iteration of these lyrics for this song on this site. However, these are not the words that I submitted. The lines "Hurl abuse at the world, heap scorn upon treasure" are what inspired me to add the lyrics to this site, however they are omitted here (at this time, 2023-11-07).
