Graham Parker

Did they tear it out with talons of steel, and give you a shot so that you
Wouldn't feel?
And washed it away as if it wasn't real?
It's just a mistake I won't have to face, don't give it a name, don't give
It a place
Don't give it a chance, it's lucky in a way.
It must have felt strange to find me inside you, I hadn't intended to stay,
If you want to keep it right, put it to sleep at night, squeeze it until it
Could say
You can't be too strong, you can't be too strong, you can't be too strong,
Can't be too strong, you decide what's wrong.
Well I ain't gonna cry, I'm gonna rejoice, and shout myself dry and go see
The boys,
They'll laugh when I say I left it overseas
Yeah babe, I know it gets dark, down by Luna Park, but everybody else is
Squeezing out a spark,
That happened in the heat, somewhere in the dark.
The doctor gets nervous completing the service, he's all rubber gloves and
No head,
Yes, he fumbles the light switch, it's just another minor hitch, wishes to
God he was dead.
But you can't be too strong, you can't be too strong, you can't be too strong,
Can't be too strong, you decide what's wrong
Can't be too hard, too tough, too rough, too right, too wrong (etc)
