Just a little something for the pain
Hospital food getting you down?
Honey now I'm not one to complain
But this hangin’ around
Is wearing me out
So patch me up boys take me home
Are you not hearing a word I say?
She sounds so different on the phone
I just sink like a stone
Back to the bay
Tell me something
Tell me something
I don’t already know
Tell me something
Tell me something I don’t know
Don’t seem to have that much to show
For all the hard work, the sweat and toil
You say ‘well that’s right’, and you should know
Oh now
You’ve been there before
You’ve basked in the glow
You’ve stood in the roar
You’ve tasted the snow
Tell me something
Tell me something
I don’t already know
Tell me something
Tell me something
I don’t already
Seeing it all so beautiful
The way it oughta be
Seeing it all so beautiful
And turning away
Turning away
Turning away
Turning away
(Tell me, tell me, tell me)
(Tell me, tell me, tell me)
Tell me something
Tell me something
I don’t already know
Tell me something
Tell me something
I don’t already know
Already know
