From holidays when I was small. the only thing that I recall
Bottleneck at Capel Curig, bottleneck at Capel Curig
Bottleneck at Capel Curig, Neil Morrisey's a knobhead.
I got a job in Aberdeen, I was only seventeen
I met a girl on halloween, she was nowhere to be seen.
Disappeared down a sewer, I sent my brother to pursue her
They ran away and fell in love, I hope they're in the middle of
A bottleneck at Capel Curig, bottleneck at Capel Curig
Bottleneck at Capel Curig, fate decrees they're in Hawaii.
Now I'm living on my own, scared of dying all alone
I haven't got a telephone, if I did it wouldn't ring.
Seeing that I'm on the way out, I'm gonna take me for a day out
I wanna wash away my sin, so I'm not forever in
A bottleneck at Capel Curig, bottleneck at Capel Curig
Bottleneck at Capel Curig, my shame will cause
A bottleneck at Capel Curig, bottleneck at Capel Curig
Bottleneck at Capel Curig - ig - ig - ig - ig.
