A year has passed since I broke my nose (wrote my note)

Hearing the words “broke my nose” when I heard the song for the first time, I thought it had to do with being drunk and disorderly – the singer breaking his nose either in a boozy fight, or stumbling and falling in a drunken stupor. The message obviously was that the bottle was bad for him. Its effects scared off his friends and made him lonely. And now he wanted to warn others of the dangers of drinking – he really hoped that someone would get the bottle’s message. It is possible I was having a pint or two at the time.
