A Friend from Argentina Lyrics by Anthonie Tonnon

Successor

2015

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Bridge]
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
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
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
[Outro]
Really you do
Really you do
