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. 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. 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. 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. On swimming pools, hiring and tiring, and Anything after this. --- Draining the Pool for You - The Go-Betweens
