Текст песни: A Friend from Argentina + перевод

You live in this bar

That might imply that you are lonely

But it’s not true

Because you are a king

While you’re in this room

You are the spring that conversation flows from

You have the thing most beautiful people desire

A line of the drug

That they do in the movies

In this far flung city

It’s so hard to find

But you found it

In a friend from Argentina

Now one might presume

That your home life is relatively awful

But one should never presume

Well you gave her the house

And you moved into the rental

Close to this bar and the firm you are a partner in

Now, you mellowed out after the separation

Yes you know the kids

Much better than she does

You know that

Josh wants to be a sports commentator

And he’s got your gift for the gab

Sarah wants to start her fashion label

And you’ve got the friends who can make it happen

Everyone lined up in the courtyard

Just after last call

To see you do your backflip trick on the bar

But this time you missed

And you fell on your ass

And when you tried it again you got

Half a bottle lodged in your hand

And it made you remember

When you lived in London

And you were no one

No door would open

To a man from the colonies

Of no money or standing

There was only the shoulder

Of a guy from Argentina

But now the girl that he sent from Buenos Aires

Had a heart attack on the plane

Because the package dissolved

When it got inside her stomach

Now there’s nothing left to sell

In the hottest week of summer

And you’ve got an infection in your hand

So you’re not immune to problems

But your kids are doing well

And you can pay more attention to the firm for a while

Still you can tell some people infer

That your drinking in this bar

Isn’t just to do with your passion for life

But they’re the same kinds of people

People who would assume

That you don’t have a conscience left

When really you do

Really you do

Really you do
