[00:00.177] The Tender -Mick Flannery
[00:10.00] Keep their spirits up Frank
[00:12.71] For some and some for all
[00:14.484] The only spirits here man are hangin'
[00:17.790] Off the wall
[00:19.231] Yeah you know well as I do
[00:21.700] That we don't serve up cheer
[00:23.868] When they come for anaesthetic
[00:26.323] And it's been this way for years
[00:28.938] They empty out their glasses
[00:31.252] The fill 'em up with tears
[00:33.703] One for the road one for the road
[00:36.126] That leads them right back here
[00:39.243] To rain on their troubles
[00:43.150] Wash 'em down deep
[00:45.839] And play in the puddle
[00:48.991] Till they're fast asleep
[01:02.905] Now Joe he lost his woman
[01:05.208] Some big shot business man
[01:07.187] He said I trusted love not money
[01:10.32] And now look where I am
[01:11.938] You've had enough Joe
[01:14.564] You gotta go now
[01:16.736] You've had too much Joe
[01:19.08] I send you home now
[01:21.834] He says please Frank
[01:27.104] Please Frank
[01:31.814] But I am just the tender
[01:33.761] I don't give counsel I don't get close
[01:36.334] And I'm on no rescue mission man
[01:39.52] I'm in no rescue boat
[01:42.89] I'm here to make money
[01:45.810] Wages plus tips
[01:48.626] For pouring water
[01:51.751] Into sinking ships
[02:25.121] Please Frank
[02:29.971] Please Frank
[02:34.535] But I am just the tender
[02:36.532] I don't give counsel I don't get close
[02:39.67] And I'm on no rescue mission man
[02:41.783] I'm in no rescue boat
[02:44.863] I'm here to make money
[02:48.601] Wages plus tips
[02:51.211] For pouring water
[02:54.442] Into sinking ships
