Draining The Pool For You – 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

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
