Girl in Need - Graham Parker

When you say you’re weary

You sound like a girl in need

When you say you’re teary eyed

Just let it water a seed

When you say you’re past your prime

Reinvent yourself one more time

Hit the road with a bag of nails

Build a house that withstands the gales and storms

I have lived in darkness

But it wasn’t that bad at all

Coz when the light came shining through

Oh what a wake-up call

I was floating in the amniotic

All too easy so narcotic

I once knew a girl who was quite erotic

But she was vacant like an empty pocket

Punch yourself with both your fists

You’ll find out that it’s nothing like a kiss

It’s more like something to cross off your list

But a girl in need has a list so long

No one can find the time to read it
