Draining the Pool for You Songtext
von The Go‐Betweens

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

And 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


Your interest in freaks
The side show, the low life holds nothing for me
Because, 'cause I have seen it
Almost been it, and it′s not my cup of thrills

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

After this
I got hired
I got tired
I got hired
After this
Right after this

Draining the pool
Draining the pool
Pool the pool
After this
After this
After this
