Bottles by the Lock
Style: Brass band

[Verse 1]
Bottles roll down by the gate
empty now but they can wait
every one of them was raised
for a year we watched you blaze

[Chorus]
Spencer, light the whole towpath up
raise the horn and raise the cup
two candles worth of noise for you
Spencer, here's to all you do

[Verse 2]
Green glass catching on the stone
proof that nobody stood alone
we came down to toast your name
and the water stayed the same

[Pre-chorus]
So let the tubas take the lead
let the whole bank hear we're pleased
this is the moment we've been building to

[Chorus]
Spencer, light the whole towpath up
raise the horn and raise the cup
two candles worth of noise for you
Spencer, here's to all you do

[Bridge]
However far the water's gone
you're the reason we came along
however loud the band can play
it's smaller than what we'd say

[Chorus]
Spencer, light the whole towpath up
raise the horn and raise the cup
two candles worth of noise for you
Spencer, here's to all you do

[Outro]
The bottles settle on the ground
but you're the best thing we found
