The Go-Betweens - Draining the Pool For You lyrics

rate me

Lyric: Robert

Remembered your name

Evidently, you've forgotten mine.

You know a lot of people

I know, a mind dulled by work and wine.

I got hired but I got tired of draining the pool for you.

I got tired but not so blue,

To see the cracks in you.

I got hired against my wish,

With better prospects, after this.

Ten leaves,

Ten leaves, on a river bank.

Just like the glass

>From the champagne bottles smashed where they sank.

chorus

Your interest in freaks

The side show, the low life holds nothing for me.

Because I have seen it

Almost been it, and it's not my cup of thrills.

chorus

Fade: on swimming pools, hiring and tiring, and

anything after this.
