Strong In Reason

Chris Difford


You get your trunks out of the drawer 
You see your self as once before. 
The empty box lies on the chair 
Another steroid grease your hair. 
The sun ray lamp is put away 
There is no reason to be afraid. 
So fix yourself into a shape 
Your audience is half awake. 
The time has come to flex your back 
Another day for you meat rack. 

Strong in vigour 
Strong in arm, 
Strong with almost perfect charm. 
Strong in tension 
Strong in strength, 
Strong in almost every sense. 

Out on the stage the lights are green 
It's one step forward now you've been seen. 
The right arm up the left arm down 
Open mouthed the vacant crowd. 
Your chest of wax flips like a coin 
Into the rhythm into the join. 
The ladies in the comfortable seats 
They look at you with eyes so deep. 
Don't take a bow because your get the sack 
I'm pleased to slag you off meat rack
