penny and baby are lovers relying on the transient warmth of the bottle to carry them over what they might forget. love might be hopeless but it's always better than the absence of same. this song also provided an excuse to use yadda yadda yadda in a lyric.
lyrics
screw top wine
here from what i don't remember
penny drops her thoughts for dimes
baby laughs and both look over
top to the belly with screw top wine
they sing all the songs about
the things they talk about
in rings they cannot move without
the sting of penny tasting doubt
there you see a book of lovers
touching pages, tales entwine
baby laughs and both look over
made with a belly full of screw top wine
they sing all the songs about
the things they thought about
the strings they cannot live without
the ring of penny bells
i don't believe in all of me i'm meeting
i don't believe in all the food we're eating
it's easy then, to hope for more tomorrow
it's easy then, but hope is time we borrow
i need to learn, in peace, in kind and keeping
i need to learn, yadda yadda yadda
buying in to names not who's behind them
buying in by faith in love and nothing less
here from there i lost december
penny drops her name and signs
baby laughs for crying out christmas
up to his belly in the screw top wine
they sang a little song about
the things they would have talked about
which brings us all back without
her wings when penny fell
