Bottle on the Beach - Kurt Chaboyer

If push comes to shove, I’ll defend ya,
handcuffs, stress-tested, perp walks, I’m your man.
I don’t wish I hadn’t a-let you make me wanna befriend ya,
but I’m gonna get a chill, if they make me remember.
I gave you my love, I’ll defend ya.

Bottle out of the reach of my hand,
beach-banged by the waves, battered by Otis and Stan.
If you see a squid on a stretcher,
better hope that Suzie come to fetcha, the Yakuza out to get ya.
Hold my soul, or my soul’s a-gonna freeze.

Bottle on the beach, bottle in the sand,
If push comes to shove, I'm your man.

You asked for my love, my love I lent ya,
With no terms or conditions, of my own volition, I did so.
When you handed me the keys to the hacienda,
looking pleased to help, I was happy to lend ya.
You asked for my love and you spent it on a shovel for a hole.

Bottle, empty, beach, sand,
beach-banged by the waves, flattered by a well-dressed man.
If you thought you were better,
better hope that Suzie come to fetcha, the Yakuza out to get ya.
Hold my soul, or my soul’s gonna freeze.
