Oysterband
Our Lady of the Bottles
[Verse 1]
It's a street full of moonshine she shuffles down alone
Big moustaches watch her from behind their mobile phones
She's out in any weather
A mouse dolled up in feathers
With tuppence in her pocket to give the dog a bone

[Chorus]
Our lady of the bottles
What can we do?
Our lady of the bottles
Pray for me, I'll pray for you
Our lady of the bottles
What can we do?
Our lady of the bottles
Pray for me, I'll pray for you

[Verse 2]
There's a crack in the window where the wind comes whistling through
A crack where the crocodiles come in two by two
The landlord's on a bender
Fleas say no surrender
And we all wake up in the morning black and blue

[Chorus]
Our lady of the bottles
What can we do?
Our lady of the bottles
Pray for me, I'll pray for you
Our lady of the bottles
What can we do?
Our lady of the bottles
Pray for me, I'll pray for you
[Bridge]
We poor sheep, we have gone astray
We piss our lives away
We are in disrepair
Angels sleep while the tigers play
So the good book say
We piss our lives away
We do it day by day
And we don't care

[Verse 3]
One day that's coming, the poor will get their own
With nothing left to cry for and bread instead of stone
There'll be heaven for the living
And God will get forgiven
She'll be up high on a holy golden throne

[Chorus]
Our lady of the bottles
What can we do?
Our lady of the bottles
Pray for me, I'll pray for you
Our lady of the bottles
What can we do?
Our lady of the bottles
Pray for me, I'll pray for you
Our lady of the bottles
What can we do?
Our lady of the bottles
Pray for me, I'll pray for you
Our lady of the bottles
What can we do?
Our lady of the bottles
Pray for me, I'll pray for you
[Outro]
Pray for me
I'll pray for you
Woah
Pray for me
