Top of the Bottom

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 want to work at the local avatar

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

That's how I got from

The bottom to the top

A businessman with a very young dolly bird

Talked through the set, liked what he thought he heard

Dropped some names he claimed to represent

And asked me if I had any management

Well two weeks later, I'm signing on ??docubine??

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

That's how I got from

The bottom to the top of the bottom

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

I partied by the pool and then arrest for necrophilia

News travels fast like electricity

A bad mug shot, 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

That's how I got from

The bottom to the top of the bottom

The label ??Empeola?? 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

That's how I got back from

The bottom to the top of the bottom

On the way down people tend to leave you where you fall
