Cover art for They'll Need A Crane lyrics by They Might Be Giants

Yeah i think the line: "They'll need a crane, they'll need a crane To pick the broken ruins up again To mend her heart, to help him start to see a world apart from pain" sums up the song really. The relationship is in ruins and it will take a big force to help them get over it/move on (the crane)
