Cat Power - Lived In Bars Lyrics
We've lived in bars
And danced on the tables
Hotels, trains and ships that sail
We swim with sharks
And fly with aeroplanes in the air
Send in the trumpets
The marching wheelchairs
Open the blankets and give them some air
Swords and arches, bones and cement
The light and the dark of the innocence of men
We know your house so very well
And we will wake you once we've walked up all your stairs
There's nothing like living in a bottle
We're so glad you have come back
Every living lion will lay in your lap
The kid has a homecoming! The champion, the whores!
Who's gonna play drums, guitar or organ with chorus
As far as we've walked from both of ends of the sand
Never have we caught a glimpse of this man
We know your house so very well
And we will bust down your door if you're not there
We've lived in bars
And danced on tables
Hotels, trains and ships that sail
We swim with sharks
And fly with aeroplanes out of here
Out of here
Out of here
Out of here
Out of here

Cat Power Lived In Bars Comments
I've lived in THAT very bar... played on that slanted pool table. Cash only... a Midtown Staple
Хороша, чертовочка😁
No sabes Chan cuanto pero cuanto me gustas.
Lana, you should try harder
The greatest
Since sliced bread
Beater than me, definitely
Chan is awesome
좋네요
hermosa
Fan fucking tastic...
240p potato camera!
No amount of praise can truly describe Cat Power: feminine, divine, soulful, unpretentious, sublime ...
This woman is just too damn sexy for words.
The one and only time that I've gotten to see Chan was around the time that her first covers record was released. It was at Little Brothers in Columbus, OH. I never saw Chan's face the entire show. She hid behind her hair so you couldn't see her face. Omg people were so pissed lol. I on the other hand was intrigued and I've been a fan ever since 🖤
A perfect song.
A voice that makes you quake!
yeah.. i know how it hurts...
Chan Marshall is The Greatest.
I Love Lana del Rey...
Funeral song for me
This wondered into my mind today, not heard it since it was uploaded. All these years on still here and getting comments.
I love this song
Her Raspy voice. She sings and does not care. Love it.
I'm so jealous about those people that she kisses
Shes beautiful as well as her voice
There's no sunshine
This impossible year
Only black days and sky grey
love this song & album, but this video really sucks
Lana will collab with this woman one day
There's something just so right about this, something so... human. She says and sings it so goddamn well.
it sometimes reminds me of haleluyah
Só sweet word's muito free.
"Nothing like living in the bottle. Nothing like ending it all, for the world"
I swiped a cat power from a person I consider an acquaintance. Best move I ever made
please share me this kind of songs im in depress so bad :((
I saw you!
Amzing vocals beautiful band thanks you blessed.
she’ll open most of the shows of la to the moon tour in europe
ULTRA COOL.
Loved her fo so long. Wish I could see her with Lana!!!
The music video matches the greatness of this song.. all different people, young and old, forgetting about their troubles "at the bar." Lived in bars, from its moody drudge to the end, when it picks up and gets boppy, is a song this talented girl should be proud of.
It's funny how a song can be so relatable in the darkest time of your life but also give you the most joy in the greatest time of your life. 7/11/2016 ❤️
Johnathon Maurice very much agree with your comment. Chan has been one of my staples for years and she actually has a lot of songs that fit that bill. Her covers record is one of her best for that in my opinion, even though its not her own songs being played and sung.
Donne best
Please research the flat Earth
You are having quite an emotional response there! To truly learn and absorb new concepts and ideas we gotta listen with our ears, not with our feelings.There's a whole movement of intelligent folks looking at flat Earth right now, and it is super interesting to check it out, even though of course it sounds ridiculous at first. Just tryin' to spread the word.
Meegs B ....I could not care less what your assessment of my response is. Whatever you say there, genius! I said what I have to say. I couldn't give two shits or a fuck what brilliant people you claim are flat earthers. Anyone claiming the Earth is flat is mentally defective. Arguments from authority are not logicaly valid. Now fuck off! I can't stand what you asses are doing to the truth.
Let’s all dance!!! 💃🏽🕺🏼❤️
God, I love this video. The joy and love at the end is just almost too much for me.

Ok I'm so in love of her 😍
Deni Chan is an absolute sweetheart of a person. A bit off though, neurotic as hell though due to her years of heavy drinking when she was younger. I met her after a show in my hometown last summer that I stood up my dream girl to attend. It was worth it and she gave me another chance anyway. She is older now than she was here, a bit worn but that voice, her songs.... a beautiful person. This world is lucky to have her.
Gorgeous! In every way I can see, this is music... now people "I doubt anyone here well you could be by accident/mistake" listens to (pizzagate puppeteer) shite! But if you do STOP FEEDING THE BEASTS!
beautiful! it gets me always!
03:07 lol Miley cyrus
....William Eggelston
I ejaculated while listening to this oh my!
I love this soooo much ❤️
Actually cried over this, so beautiful
how can u put into words when someone is this good
We totally need Chan in a leadership role at Brain Aid. Please ask her to get in touch! facebook.com/brainaidfest xo
still #1
So beautiful and talented
Love the footage of the bar, everyone is real and beautiful. Alive with the soul of music and the soul of life. Seems like an almost candid night, one we all have had living in the bars.
Luv...luv....luv!
lastima que no se este idioma para cantarla como viene en ingles para que no pierda lo natural de la cancion
Need a cigarette and a glass of scotch after this
or with it .. while it plays right thru an evening .. on a big ship sitting in the crow's nest
the greatest forever
I love the way she sings
She's so cute! Check out her version of "Sea of Love."
Baby's place is at the house for a hard lovin man like me.
This girl never knew what she had.
not that I care but h did she just groove with a furry
Oh Chan, this little gem makes my whole life worthwhile
"There's nothing like living in a bottle
And nothing like ending it all for the world

Cat Power, 2006
I think I'm in love.
"There's nothing like living in a bottle
And nothing like ending it all for the world...
We're so glad you have come back
Every living lion will lay in your lap."
Great lyrics, as always
Sweet !
Yessss! So happy there's a vid to this song I've been listening to it for like a years imagining one and never thought to look it up
What a beautiful woman. Love Cat Power, love this song and love this album, The Greatest.
These days I've been recalling this song as if it had been part of the Stones's "Exile", doesn't it fit?
Haha, now I realize that she was born the same year that the Stones made "Exile".

BlackJackBond thanks :3
Nice one Jack. Good to know the true lyrics as its so easy to miss hear them & think something else. Cheers big ears. ;). Boss man.
thank you good stranger
Thank you, it’s a special song for me.
ugh this hits way too close to home at this point in my life :(
Homegirl, here's to hoping you find Hope, and a reason to change behaviors that don't work for you any longer.
cat power bugun benim icin caliyorsun, serefine 🍸🍻✌
Never heard of this artist before. I am goin to a festival next year, where she will also perform.
I have to admit, after googling and reading the wikipedia entry, I expected some soft ethereal singing to mesmerize more than deliver interesting lyrics, with some ploinky piano rounds. And that's what it was.
Also - I remember Björk going through a city, filmed the same way while singing one of her original hits.
I don't make a point of commenting just to deride what others might appreciate. But since this is my first acquaintance with this artist, I am giving my first impressions. I hope she may surprise me yet this coming Summer at the festival.
Does anyone know who the man is in the house with her?
Samuel C. Photographer William Eggleston
...and it's his house
Bad day? This is a fix.
love it
da like curte e compartilha pros amiguinhos ver
une douce nostalgie heureuse, quel talent!
I miss this woman. My son turned me on to her songwriting and singing when this came out. Hope you are well, Chan. Have a bit of your music on my iPod.
cos'è questa donnaa!! love her
noboby ' s forcing nobody so go to the bar !
J'aime! un point c'est tout :-)
Amazing how you can have 6 million hits on u tube but my mate tells me to check this singer out? She should be well known?
we are in 2016 and still in love with this song like i was with my first gf
Cassius Clay The Greatest /R.I.P/
And I realised how Lana Del Rey has been deeply influenced by this pretty woman :)
I totally disagree. Lana is torch song Cat Power is folk. So different.
Lana is featured on Cat Power's newest album so the circle is complete
Its true...Cat Power was first. I think she is much more talented.
Yo! Cat Power is so much better, lol. Just an opinion. Lol.
Chan Marshall is more sincere than Lana. So I could see why Lana would be inspired by somebody who actually seems authentic lol
ok but chan's gun show kills me for real
I saw her studio 'performance' on the Janis Joplin episode of American Masters. Greatly, greatly misplaced, She's nowhere near the talent Janis was. More mediocre than anything.
re: campbell's soup ad before vid: since when did ricky gervais lose weight?
02:14 lookout cat!
Wow, it's been 20 years since I first went and bought a Cat Power CD release after reading an interview with Chan Marshall. I was immediately entranced by her soulful delivery. She's one of our true American treasures of the 20th and 21st centuries. Completely unpretentious. Chan is so candid and spontaneous in every detail of her existence that I don't think she could be pretentious even if she tried. Still, there are two distinct Chan's. Cat Power is her alter ego, almost the polar opposite of her often fidgeting, neurotic at times, and searching for words finding them, personality we see in interviews.
Maybe this is just what I personally am aware of because I happen to be spontaneous neurotic person, who is way more comfortable and successful at playing guitar and singing than trying to make a conversation work. lol
Can't "make a conversation work"? Well, you know how to write :)) ...
For me, almost 15, when I found her at "My Blueberry Nights", featuring The Strongest.
