The Tender (Live at Cork Opera House) - Mick Flannery

作曲：Mick Flannery

Keep their spirits up frank all for some so some for all

The only spirits here man are hangin' off the wall

Yeah you know as well as I do that we don't serve up cheer

When they come for anaesthetic and it's been this way for years

They empty out their glasses

Fill em up with tears

One for the road one for the road

That leads them right back here

To rain on their troubles

Wash em down deep

And play in the puddle

Till they're fast asleep

Now joe he lost his woman to some big shot business man

He said I trusted love not money and now look where I am

You've had enough joe you gotta go now

You've too much joe I send you home now

And he says please frank please frank

But I am just the tender

I don't give counsel I don't get close

I'm on no rescue mission man I'm in no rescue boat

I'm here to make money

Wages plus tips

For pouring water

Into sinking ships

Please frank please frank

But I am just the tender

I don't give counsel I don't get close

I'm on no rescue mission man I'm in no rescue boat

I'm here to make money

Wages plus tips

For pouring water

Into sinking ships
