Bottleneck at Capel Curig Lyrics

Didn’t see the summer sun
Didn’t speak to anyone
The caravan was on its own
It didn’t have a telephone

That’s why I’ve never liked the Mini
That’s why I’m into Sleater-Kinney
From holidays when I was small
The only thing that I recall

Bottleneck at Capel Curig
Bottleneck at Capel Curig
Bottleneck at Capel Curig
Neil Morrissey’s a knobhead

I got a job in Aberdeen
I was only seventeen
I met a girl on Halloween
She was nowhere to be seen

She disappeared down a sewer
I sent my brother to pursue her
They ran away and fell in love
I hope they’re in the middle of

A bottleneck at Capel Curig
Bottleneck at Capel Curig
Bottleneck at Capel Curig
Fate decrees they’re in Hawaii

And now I’m living on my own
Scared of dying all alone
Haven’t got a telephone
If I did it wouldn’t ring

Seeing that I’m on the way out
They come and take me for a day out
They want to wash away my sin
So I’m not forever in

Bottleneck at Capel Curig
Bottleneck at Capel Curig
Bottleneck at Capel Curig
My shame will cause
Bottleneck at Capel Curig
Bottleneck at Capel Curig
Bottleneck at Capel Curig

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.
