Hard On Me — Richard Thompson

Hard on me, hard on me Why do you grind me small Hard on me, hard on me At every fence I fall

I bite my rage I stop my breath I shake my cage I swim with emptiness

Hard on me, hard on me Like they were hard on you Hard on me, hard on me So I can stumble too

My circuits seize My senses jam I don't know who to please Trapped inside the Wicker Man

You're so hard on me You're so hard on me You're so hard on me

Hard on me, hard on me Why do you grind me small Hard on me, hard on me At every fence I fall

Unzip my heart Unbraid my veins Unstitch my wantonness And loosen up my reins Before I dare Go on that hill In dumb despair Unfreeze my will

You're so hard on me You're so hard on me You're so hard on me
