==Lyrics==<br />
Spec's almost drowned off the coast of California<br><br />
and started this museum<br><br />
to help the shipwrecked remember<br><br />
they grow quiet<br><br />
the sea grows colder<br><br />
drinking the night away<br><br />
burn bridges grow older<br />
<br />
Kent worked at Spec's since 1970<br><br />
right after Haight Street finally choked on its own vomit<br><br />
an impartial smile made him a gentleman<br><br />
some bartenders have the gift of pardon<br />
<br />
A bar has a longer history than a country<br><br />
what keeps the moon chained<br><br />
are ridiculous acts of faith<br><br />
and after a couple of drinks<br><br />
visionary eyes all burn<br><br />
the drunks seem saint-like<br><br />
in their disillusion<br />
<br />
Kent always knew the serious nature of a smile<br><br />
knew the serious nature of the job he was given<br><br />
never told himself there's only so much a man could take on<br><br />
some bartenders have the gift of pardon With the same old tape wearing out in the background<br><br />
Billie Holiday "Solitude"<br><br />
or some sad old Irish folk songs<br><br />
you're not promised the moon<br><br />
or lied to by its distractions<br><br />
you enter the world alone<br><br />
and that's the first and the last thing<br />
<br />
It seems one night he was having a hard time falling asleep<br><br />
and found himself in an accidental shipwreck<br><br />
dreaming he's still at the bar counting sheep<br><br />
the cold ocean threw its chains around his neck<br />
<br />
Never have to worry about counterfeits at 2am<br><br />
'cause that's all there is<br><br />
'cause that's all there is<br><br />
just some old poets drinking<br><br />
the last nightmare in<br><br />
and the comfort of the dark<br><br />
and being forgotten<br />
<br />
Some bartenders have the gift of pardon<br><br />
some bartenders have the gift of pardon<br />
