Nickname Stuck Lyrics
Has the nickname stuck
So far into your arm
Your considerable wit
And undeniable charm
Are not enough to pluck
The sword out of the stone
When the sword is a muscle
Wrapped around a bone
I know that your father
Used up his last favour
Getting you off
With a slap on the wrist
And I know that your mother
Says get a decent supper
Pressing a fifty
Into your fist
She thinks that you'll get better
Is that why you hate her?
Or has the nickname stuck
So far into your arm
Your considerable wit
And undeniable charm
Are not enough to pluck
The sword out of the stone
When the sword is a muscle
Wrapped around a bone
What about your lover?
Shouldn't she be older
It'll be luck if she makes twenty-two
'cause now there's something sharper
Above your bunsen burner
Than the blade she so cautiously withdrew
She's still somebody's daughter
Is that why you caught her?
Is that why you're dragging her down after you

Into the dark
Has the nickname stuck
So far into your arm
Your considerable wit
And undeniable charm
Are not enough to pluck
The sword out of the stone
When the sword is a muscle
Wrapped around a bone
And is the nickname stuck
So deep into the skin
If you still had a choice
You'd prefer to leave it in
