letra de top of the bottom - john wesley harding
[verse 1]
i started playing guitar by the town memorial
all my songs were singing editorials
and when i’d done the sermon on the mount
i counted my change and put it in my bank account
i didn’t wanna work at the local abattoir
so i left home, expanded my repertoire
i did some gigs, no one booed
i got free beer and i drank it with gratitude
once i started, i couldn’t stop
[refrain]
that’s how i got from the bottom to the top
[verse 2]
a businessman with a very young dolly bird
talked through the set, liked what he thought he heard
dropped some names he claimеd to represent
and askеd me if i had any management
well, two weeks later, i’m signing on a dotted line
offered some drugs, at first i declined
lots of parties where the spread’s incredible
but don’t get close, ’cause the food’s inedible
and i became a spinning top
[chorus]
that’s how i got from the bottom to the top of the bottom
[verse 3]
i got a sweet deal and i moved to america
i fell in love with an heiress called erica
started out smart, soon got silly
a party by the pool and an arrest for necrophilia
news travels fast like electricity
a bad mugshot, it’s good publicity
i laid low for a month or two
and spent my dough building a recording studio
and that’s when it all went pop
[refrain]
that’s how i got from the bottom to the top of the bottom
[verse 4]
the label and payola got me in the charts
my new management had me by the private parts
i went on strike, took the initiative
forgetting that i didn’t have a single thing to bargain with
i lost my nerve, my fall was glorious
the lawsuit was eternal and laborious
my new material was only fair-to-middling
rome was burning and i did some fiddling
and finally, i was dropped
[refrain]
that’s how i got back from the bottom to the top of the bottom
[verse 5]
on the way down, people tend to leave you where you fall
i tried to stand up but i didn’t have the wherewithal
i nearly died in a cab one day
so i swapped my bourbon for a bottle full of perrier
there were rumours about my s-xuality
the video star, k!lled by reality
next thing i know, i’m on my knees
begging the camera, will you vote me off the island please?
but the world forgives a flop
[refrain]
that’s how i got back from the bottom to the top of the bottom
[verse 6]
well, all that exposure and the phones start to ring again
i experience the strange urge to sing again
well, not long ago, i was a boy with a dream
i reacquaint myself with a razor and some shaving cream
look at me, i’m ripe for rediscovery
all i need is mary to mother me
on the tenth green, i was way over par
my partner offered me a tour in jesus christ superstar
and that’s when the penny dropped
[refrain]
that’s how i got back from the bottom to the top of the bottom
[verse 7]
well, we toured all over the states of america
i got a picture of my son from erica
my parents wrote, “since you disappeared
hard to believe, but it’s just been one year”
now it’s back to ale and cakes again
i wonder if i’ll make the same mistakes again
i hope that you’ve enjoyed this tutorial
there’s another busker who is playing the memorial
i’m getting bored of talking shop
[refrain]
that’s how i got back from the bottom to the top of the bottom
to the top of the bottom
to the top of the bottom
