Lyrics
What?s The Story Frank
Words and Music John McDermott
chorus
? What?s the story Frank ?? she said,
? What?s the Problem now ? ?.
?What?s the story Frank ?? she said,
? And does it matter any how?.
We?ve been fire,
and We?ve been rain,
but mostly we?ve been between,
I can no longer reconcile,
My life and all my dreams
chorus
Recriminations, grow and choke,
Where once we used to play
you were always running at the mouth
and I, I was always running away
chorus
Instrumental Bridge
The little games we play,
Can no longer amuse me,
I?m not afraid any more
And it?s time, for me to leave you
Chorus x 3
repeat Bridge.
