(Difford/Tilbrook)

You get your trunks
Out of the drawer
You see yourself
As once before
Strong in reason
Strong in reason
The empty box
Lies on the chair
Another steroid
Grease your hair and you're
Strong in reason
Strong in reason

The sun-ray lamp
Is put away
There is no need
To be afraid
Strong in reason
Strong in reason

So fix yourself
Into a shape
Your audience
Is half awake and you're
Strong in reason
Strong in reason

The time has come
To flex your back
Another day
For you, meat-rack
Strong in reason

Strong in maker
Strong in arm
Strong with almost perfect charm
Strong intention
Strong in strength
Strong in almost every sense

Strong in reason
Strong in reason
Strong in reason
Strong in reason

And on the stage
The lights are green
It's one step forward
Now you've been seen
Strong in reason
Strong in reason

The right arm up
The left arm down
Open mouth
The vacant crowd
Strong in reason
Strong in reason

The chest of wax
Flips like a coin
Into the rhythm
Into the join
Strong in reason
Strong in reason

The ladies in
The comfortable seats
They look at you with
Eyes so deep 'cause they're
Strong in reason
Strong in reason

Well take a bow
Because you'll get the sack
I'm pleased to slag you off
Meat-rack
Strong in reason
Strong in reason

Strong in maker
Strong in arm
Strong with almost perfect charm
Strong intention
Strong in strength
Strong in almost every sense

Strong in reason
Strong in reason
Strong in reason
Strong in reason
