Stretch Lyrics - Shrunken Heads - Ian Hunter

Hunter 

(Strtch) 

Abandoned by, abandoned by, abandoned by your Mother 

Stranded in a boys' home, stranded in a boys' home and never really recovered 

Drain that poison from your mind 

Or it's gonna take you down. 

Stretch 

Stretch, fish outta water, yah swim against the tide 

Ain't no takin' sense to ya 

Jekyll and Jekyll and Jekyll and Hide. 

Oblivious to, oblivious to, oblivious to the danger 

I tried, but I could never, I tried but I could never, I tried, but I could never change ya 

You went your way, I went mine, there was nothing I could do 

You wouldn't listen, no you wouldn't listen to me.

Stretch 

Stretch, always something' eatin' at ya, never towed the line 

Mixed up and dangerous, most of the, most of the, most of the time. 

I can still see you walkin' down the street 

I can still see the placed we'd meet 

I can hear the voices in my head 

One of them yours, even though you're dead. 

Attracted by, attracted by, attracted to the lifestyle 

I could never go the, I could never go the, I could never go the last mile 

The pirate with the silver tongue among my souvenirs 

You wouldn't listen, ah you wouldn't listen to me. 

Stretch 

Pride of the army, hero of the corps 

You hated every minute of it, they gave you two years, you made it four.

I gotta stop hangin' out with ya, perhaps it's just as well 

Now we're both doing stretches, I'm in a limo and you're in a cell. 

I loved you like a brother, deep down sad 

You were the best friend, I ever, I ever, I ever had.
