| It's not a mean idea. The idea of "cruel to be kind," is like doing an unwanted reality check with a friend if they are doing something destructive like drugs or a mother bird tossing her baby out so it learns to fly. You have to do that if you really care... "In the right measure...it means that I love you..." |

| This is not seventies music; this is what gave those of us who survived the seventies hope that the eighties would be better. Just like The Clash, The Police, Elvis Costello, Springsteen and the Ramones were out before 1980. |

| I'll be cruel but kind to you relala so you don't embarrass yourself anymore. The lyrics make it quite clear the girl is saying this to Nick and he is struggling to understand her point. |
