WHISKEY BOTTLE ARISTOTLE (DON'T GIVE UP)
- WORDS & MUSIC BY KENNY HOGAN ©2007
From the album Frank's Imperial
SO YOU'RE...SITTIN' AT THE TABLE, HEAD IN YOUR HANDS,
SO LOST AND LONELY, AND YOU CAN"T UNDERSTAND
WHY YOUR LUCK RAN OUT, AND YOUR WORLD IS CAVIN IN,
HOLDIN THAT BOTTLE LIKE IT'S YOUR ONLY FRIEND,
YOUR THOUGHTS ARE ALL FOGGY, YOUR LYRICS DON'T RHYME,
YOUR PILLOW'S ALL SOGGY, FROM THE LEAK IN YOUR WORRIED MIND
TOSSIN' AND TURNIN', WAITIN' FOR THE NIGHT TO PASS,
WITH A HOLE IN YOUR SOUL, AND A HEART FULL OF BROKEN GLASS...
Chorus:
DON'T GIVE UP, (UP)
DON'T GIVE IN (DON'T GIVE IN)
GET BACK UP!
GET ON YOUR FEET AGAIN
WHISKEY BOTTLE ARISTOTLE, WHAT IS IT ALL ABOUT?
(you better work it out)
WHISKEY BOTTLE ARISTOTLE, YOU BETTER WORK IT OUT
(what is it all about)
STOP.
LOOK AT THE PROBLEM,
BREAK DOWN THE PIECES OF IT,
LOOK AT THE PIECES NOW, AND SEE WHERE THE PIECES FIT,
LITTLE BY LITTLE ...BIT BY BIT
GONNA GET IT TOGETHER BABY,
MOVE ON AND DON'T EVER QUIT
Chorus:
DON'T GIVE UP, (UP)
DON'T GIVE IN (DON'T GIVE IN)
GET BACK UP!
GET ON YOUR FEET AGAIN
WHISKEY BOTTLE ARISTOTLE, WHAT IS IT ALL ABOUT?
(you better work it out)
WHISKEY BOTTLE ARISTOTLE, YOU BETTER WORK IT OUT
(what is it all about)
[BRIDGE]
DON'T TRY TO TELL ME THE WORLD'S GONNA END, YOU CAN'T TAKE IT,
(ANYMORE)
GET THROUGH TONIGHT, AND YOU'RE BOUND TO SEE THE LIGHT
YOU CAN MAKE IT, YEAH!
YOU CAN MAKE IT IF YOU TRY.
WHISKEY BOTTLE ARISTOTLE, PONDER MY PHILOSOPHY
LIFE IS WHAT YOU MAKE IT BABY, NOTHING GOOD COMES EASILY ,
WHISKEY BOTTLE ARISTOTLE, YOUR LUCK'S GONNA TURN AROUND,
PICK YOURSELF BACK UP AGAIN,
AND NEVER LET THE BASTARDS GET YA DOWN!
Chorus:
DON'T GIVE UP, (UP)
DON'T GIVE IN (DON'T GIVE IN)
GET BACK UP!
GET ON YOUR FEET AGAIN
WHISKEY BOTTLE ARISTOTLE, WHAT IS IT ALL ABOUT?
(you better work it out)
