Wildman / Marsden / Downing / Downing · Lyrics: Wildman
From the 1996 sessions · Reconstructed 2026 · A Bottle And A Suitcase
So cold and lonely You slip right out of town Left before the life you've left behind Landed in a strange place Just a bottle and a suitcase Never knew that life was so unkind Never got to be a movie star Never got to drive a groovy car Never figured out who you really are Getting all your gear on tick But you couldn't get the hit But you played a mean guitar You played a mean guitar I just want somebody to teach me When things are getting rough I just want somebody to teach me And I've had enough I've had enough Wish I could get inside your head and see the light That shines so bright behind your eyes I should have listened when you said the world is shite It's gonna be a low until you die It's gonna be a low until you die It's gonna be a low until you die It's gonna be a low until you die

- Original
Exile, failed stardom, gear, disappointment and the need for guidance gather around the image of a bottle and a suitcase — the phrase that supplied the companion album’s former working title.
