Graham Parker = one of the best songwriters in the business today
		and sad to say, many people have NEVER heard any
		of his music.  Here's a sample lyric - the music
		is even better...







		    YOU CAN'T BE TOO STRONG

			 Graham Parker


           Did they tear it out with talons of steal?
           And give you a shot so that you couldn't feel?
           And wash it away as if it wasn't real?

           Well 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 have found 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 decide what's wrong

           
           Well I ain't gonna cry, I'm going to rejoice
           And shout myself dry and go see the boys
           They'll laugh when I say I left it overseas
           
           Yea 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 this service
           It's out of his gloves and no head
           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 decide what's wrong
           You can't be too rough, too tough, too right, too wrong....
