Lyrics Draining the Pool for You - The Go-Betweens

Draining the Pool for You

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.
