Lucero - Kiss The Bottle Lyrics






It gets loneliest at night
Down at the liquor store
Beneath the neon sky
The moonlight
Six a.m. the floor comes alive with lites
The pans dried up so tight
With hardened beans
And we're hungry

So I lean on you sometimes
Just to see you're still there
These feet cant take the weight of one
Much less two
We hit concrete
We were born into this mess
I know I painted you a prettier picture,baby
We were run out on a rail
Fell from the wagon to the night train

I kissed the bottle
I should've been kissing you
You wake up to an empty night
With tears for two

Cigarettes they fill the gaps
In our empty days
In our broken teeth
Say mister, can you spare a dime
Some change could make a change
Could buy some time
Some freedom
Or an ear to hear my story
It's all I've got
My fiction beats the hell out of my truth
A palm upturned burnt blue
Don't call it sunburn
You've been shaking on the job
Just one drink ahead of your past
There's a white light coming up
You draw the blinds hoping it'll pass

I kissed the bottle
I should've been kissing you
You wake up to an empty night
With tears for two
I kissed the bottle
I should've been kissing you
You wake up to an empty night
With tears for two
With tears for two

Lucero Kiss The Bottle Comments
  1. A.... ....

    😘🎧😴

  2. N.... ....

    A college professor told me I reminded him of this song. Not sure if I should have been flattered, insulted or creeped out.

  3. D.... D....

    Woulda been way better off right now if I didn’t kiss the bottle instead of kissing one of the nice girls..

  4. S.... m....

    Found out that song babe...2018

  5. J.... T....

    I really shoulda been kissing you.

  6. G.... ....

    my favorite Kiss The Bottle cover......... big up boys

  7. H.... L....

    I prefer this version because the original version sounds like he's saying 'I kissed the butthole'

    H.... L....

    You got somethin against kissin buttholes?

    H.... L....

    girls have buttholes too...just saying...

    H.... L....

    if i had a dollar for every butthole ive kissed id probably have about 10 dollars, enough to get a couple drinks at least...

  8. A.... A....

    This was an interesting take on the song. If you want it country, listen to Lucero. If you want it punk, listen to Jawbreaker, end of story.

  9. M.... R....

    This was the first song I ever heard Lucero sing. At Davey's Uptown Ramblers Club in Kansas City around 1999-2000. Been hooked on them ever since...

    M.... R....

    Well they’re covering a song by Jawbreaker, but it is a good version

  10. R.... S....

    What a pile of shit cover, and people call the foo fighters version shit. This band should be shot for this,

    R.... S....

    Atom Nason Ok cool. I understand where you are coming from now. I don't have a punk background and hardly ever listened to it. I see that punk listeners would have issue with this cover. Kinda how I didn't like the Dead Kennedy's version of "Take this job and shove it". As for Lucero songs try, "My Best Girl", "Raisin Hell", "Drink Till we're gone", "Goodbye again" (my favorite ), "The Blue and The Gray" and "I'll just fall" should get you started. Try to listen to the studio versions first. Ben likes to drink during concerts and sometimes he gets a little sloppy.

    R.... S....

    Atom Nason booo you suck

    R.... S....

    Really? God damn it, this just isn't that great of a cover i'm sorry

    R.... S....

    Atom Nason boooo! I'm fuckin with you haha I like it tho

    R.... S....

    Samantha Grabler right on!!

  11. K.... ....

    decent cover of the best band of all time.

  12. C.... S....

    I struggle with Lucero to begin with because BMX'rs like them and they ruin all the spots and cut people off at the skatepark. Me no likey. That being said, I like Jawbreaker A LOT!!!

    C.... S....

    C SAS that’s because skateboarders are gay. Bmx is a awesome sport way better than pushing wood.

  13. M.... W....

    great one

  14. W.... H....

    the best cover of this song, not as good as the original but close

  15. Q.... U....

    not a fan :/ soul less vocals

    Q.... U....

    I feel like this version of the song seems like it has more hope in it than the original.

    Q.... U....

    maybe he's hearing the throaties as the opposite of soul, giving it soul . @anon Nymous

    Q.... U....

    To me, his vocals are full of soul, as is this version. I LOVE Jawbreaker and was a fan way before I knew who Lucero was and like their original vesrsion just as much. Ben isn't a pretty singer but it works for me. And on a side note: As a songwriter.. he is one of the few that has consistently written songs that bring the hair up on my arms.

    Q.... U....

    It's a depression song, it's supposed to sound apathetic.

    Q.... U....

    Are you kidding?

  16. P.... V....

    Still a heartbreaker

  17. w.... s....

    wow..... this shit really fucking sucks it sounds like a really sad a desperate take at real life

    w.... s....

    +Chris Guidon Take it easy, there, keyboard commando.

  18. M.... ....

    I think it's pretty cool to hear cover songs for a band I used to spend $8 to see as a kid in high school. Jawbreaker was my favorite band and this is a solid cover, well done Lucero!

  19. A.... E....

    The worlds first Cremo song. aka country emo

    A.... E....

    I ment because Jawbreaker is an emo band and Lucero is pretty much country.

    A.... E....

    that's the point of my comment sir,  a Country band covering an emo song; hence, cremo

    A.... E....

    +DesignAodh Oh give it a rest. You were nowhere near the Bay Area in the 90s. Save your indignation for somebody that actually believes in your bullshit cred.

    A.... E....

    Sad country songs were around long before the emo culture

    A.... E....

    nope been country influence in emo bands before

  20. B.... N....

    Both the original and this one have value. Same lyrics, but the voices tell two very different stories, Jawbreaker is a sudden urban desperation and this one is an on going trail with more hope

    B.... N....

    Look up the Brendan Kelly version if you haven't heard it all the hopelessness of the original stripped down to it's bones

  21. D.... ....

    He sings like he's about to take a very painful shit.

  22. E.... S....

    This cover is one that Blake and all of JAWBREAKER, JETS TO BRAZIL, etc.. Listen to. It's the fact that it is NOT like the original that makes it so good. You never know when you might be reading a comment from someone who was a part of the original. ALL interpretations are welcome. THAT IS what music is all about.

    E.... S....

    It's not like the original, and yet, it captures the spirit, the emotion, of the original better than any other cover of it I've heard.

  23. a.... ....

    this is rubbish they took something great and put shitty generic rubbish to it. plus give up 

    a.... ....

    Get bent.

    a.... ....

    You smell like a rabbid butt hole. What degree in music do you have to spit trashy english like this.

    a.... ....

    @Kouch Predictions this is horrible, they took away the raw emotion, i bet half the morons dont even know who jawbreaker are.

    a.... ....

    I do know who jawbreaker is I love all degrees of music. I'm not single minded and shallow to keep myself from expanding. Get real guy why don't you go and pick up a gutair yourself and start a band.

    a.... ....

    narchysham1

  24. M.... B....

    A radio with guts did a really great cover of this song!! I'm not a big fan of this version

  25. A.... L....

    Amazing but not as good as the original 

  26. s.... ....

    I'll give this one the nod for best cover of this song, with Foo Fighters closely behind.

  27. S.... K....

    Fell in love with this song when I was no older than 12. 24 now and I love it even more. Having been through the muck I can really understand and appreciate its beauty.

  28. D.... H....

    I remember seeing these guys on road fools 15... Man what a great band

  29. h.... b....

    I love the lyrics are so good

  30. M.... G....

    Love this cover. Ill always be a jawbreaker & lucero fan.

  31. J.... E....

    woow the best cover ever

  32. d.... ....

    Jawbreaker original's way superior, as for Blake's ragged vocals, it's what gave the song it's tortured edge, made even more so by polyps and this was incidently the last song recorded before his throat surgery to have 'em removed...oh, but what about Lucero? Meh!

    d.... ....

    Jawbreaker disagrees with you.

  33. a.... b....

    I love these guy's...

  34. b.... ....

    Jawbreaker

  35. S.... S....

    who is the original?

  36. T.... O....

    seen em with frank turner and social d! best concert ever fo sho

  37. t.... ....

    P.S. - /watch?v=5ukoUQVrGWg

    I think it's much better live.

  38. t.... ....

    Criticizing someone's vocals - ironic from a Jawbreaker fan.

    Please note - I'm a JB fan, too. I just think it's funny that you pick the vocals to take offense to.

  39. C.... B....

    your name makes your opinion irrelevant

  40. S.... H....

    so brutallly good. love this.

  41. d.... ....

    so these guys really are the southern version of jawbreaker

  42. N.... ....

    everyone has a right to an opinion. and everyone interprets a song their own way. i like both versions for what they are

  43. N.... L....

    @teskourneofgoldshire no one likes a purest. cant you just enjoy this for what it is? lucero isnt even in the same genre as JB. they put there own spin on it, which is what a cover is and its pretty badass i think.

  44. l.... ....

    i like this version better

  45. j.... ....

    This covers alright. Pales bigtime in comparison to the original...

  46. C.... ....

    @MrKamakazi21 yeah, same I still like the original, but this one I prefer...

  47. M.... ....

    I like this version better.

    Yeah! I said it!

  48. M.... M....

    An amazing band covering the song of another amazing band.
    It doesnt get much better then that.

  49. C.... ....

    @pinetone000 Then get some fucking awesome speackers,
    or put the gain up abit (20db max) always works xD.

  50. C.... ....

    @keir193 haha 100% with you,
    most decent bands don't care either, just seeing them live is what really gets them the money and everyone gets some of the best times of their lives from live concerts.

  51. C.... ....

    @pinetone000
    Listening to music, is like fantasizing about seeing the artist live,
    thats why I listen to music everyday, and go to every concert of a band that I like I can xD

  52. A.... N....

    @pure4sure13 Ben's voice puts me to sleep every night :o)

  53. C.... B....

    LOL JK I DONT BUY ANY MUSIC

  54. C.... B....

    @pinetone000 i always buy my music!

  55. P.... O....

    one person wishes they were kissing you

  56. C.... K....

    Probably the best Jawbreaker cover that has ever been made.

  57. P.... L....

    HELL YES!!!

  58. I.... H....

    @flemingia this is a good one, but in my opinion the brendan kelly f(from the lawrence arms) is better, but this one is still damn good

  59. j.... ....

    @pure4sure13 for sure lucero is the best band ever, when i listen to it i remember all the stupid shit ive done while listening to lucero, Best band ever.

  60. I.... F....

    This has got to be the best cover I've heard of this song. I never thought that Lucero would be the one to do it.

  61. a.... ....

    great cover. does it justice well. i like it about as much as jeff ott's cover of better half.

  62. R.... S....

    Amazing cover... think I'll check Lucero out because of this.

  63. S.... A....

    i prefer the falling out of love cover to be honest.

  64. J.... J....

    I can appreciate this cover.

  65. S.... ....

    sparta does an excellent cover of the original

  66. A.... N....

    You can't really even compare this version to the original...two totally different styles both have their pros and cons. I personally think Lucero is miles better, but I think anything Ben does is pure gold! The cover by the foo fighters is just a shame..lol

  67. I.... ....

    a fun take on the original
