We didn't see the summer sun, we didn't speak to any one

The caravan was on it's own, we didn't have a telephone.

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.
