Steve Lillywhite - Bottle of Smoke lyrics

Thanks and praises, thanks to Jesus I bet on the Bottle of Smoke I went to hell and to the races To bet on the Bottle of Smoke The day being clear, the sky being bright He came up on the left like a streak of light Like a drunken f** on a Saturday night Up came the Bottle of Smoke Twenty-f**ing-five to one Me gambling days are done I bet on a horse called the Bottle of Smoke And my horse won Stewards inquiries, swift and fiery I had the Bottle of Smoke Inquisitions and suppositions I had the Bottle of Smoke f** the stewards, a trip to Lourdes Might give the old f**ers the power of sight Screaming springers and stoppers and call out coppers But the money still gleams in my hand like a light Twenty-f**ing-five to one Me gambling days are done I bet on a horse called the Bottle of Smoke And my horse won Bookies cursing, cars reversing I had the Bottle of Smoke Gla**es steaming, vessels bursting I had the Bottle of Smoke Slip a fifty to the wife And for each brat, a brand new five To give me a break on a Saturday night When I had the Bottle of Smoke Twenty-f**ing-five to one Me gambling days are done I bet on a horse called the Bottle of Smoke And my horse won Priests and maidens, drunk as pagans They had the Bottle of Smoke Sins forgiven and celebrations They had the Bottle of Smoke f** the Yanks and drink their wines The moon is clear, the sky is bright I'm happy as the horse's sh**e Up came the Bottle of Smoke Twenty-f**ing-five to one Me gambling days are done I bet on a horse called the Bottle of Smoke And my horse won Thanks and praises, thanks to Jesus I bet on the Bottle of Smoke I went to hell and to the races To bet on the Bottle of Smoke The day being clear, the sky being bright He came up on the left like a streak of light Like a drunken f** on a Saturday night Up came the Bottle of Smoke Twenty-f**ing-five to one Me gambling days are done I bet on a horse called the Bottle of Smoke And my horse won Twenty-f**ing-five to one Me gambling days are done I bet on a horse called the Bottle of Smoke And my horse won
