Clean Break

(album: I've Suffered A Head Injury - 1992)

I think you need some assistance
to keep yourself at a distance
it's harder when she's beautiful
it's easy when she's waking next to you

if you're gonna make a break, make a clean break
if you're gonna make a break, break clean
if you're gonna make a break, make a clean break
if you're gonna make a break, make a clean break

i can see the tables turning
homefires lit, your house is burning
it's harder in the evening but
it's easy in the early afternoon

[repeat chorus]

sure there is an easy out by staying in
for one more session
you justify it all by seeing her in moderation
no opportunity for her to start a new relation
you help yourself because you're sensing
obligation

i think it's great the way you handle
both ends of a burning candle
it's harder when she's easy but it's easy
when she's just as hard on you

[repeat chorus]
