Is He Strange

  • Licorice and nuts
    There are no ifs and
    There aren't any buts
    He was just there
    He was just standing there
    He was on an island
    In the North Atlantic Ocean
    Just minding his own
    He was just doing his thing
    And in that moment
    Everything changed

    Is he strange
    Or is it you, who never
    Saw the light?
    Decades of everything wrong
    Give way to everything right
    But that don't mean that it will stick
    He's not some flower you can pick

    Purples, reds and blues
    You act like you have
    Never read the news
    Now you must choose
    What are you going to do?
    It's just good to know that
    You can love while you are
    Letting go, look at the snow
    Look at it swirl and blow
    And you never thought
    That tree would grow

    Is he strange
    Or is it you, who never
    Saw the light?
    Decades of everything wrong
    Give way to everything right
    But that don't mean that it will stick
    He's not some flower you can pick

    Brown Norwegian cheese
    Don't worry who you do
    And do not please
    At the very least
    You've got other dead horses to beat
    You can't win or lose
    You simply are, and that's how
    He is too, and you're never
    Through, nobody said that
    It would be smooth
    Now close your eyes
    And concentrate on this
    Groove

    Is he strange
    Or is it you, who never
    Saw the light?
    Decades of everything wrong
    Give way to everything right
    Baby you're not strange
    You are the only one
    Who's ever been right
    I'm just sorry that I let you down
    And that's what keeps me up at night
    (not just the Common Snipe)
    And I only hope that you can see
    That you've transformed
    This heart inside of me Writer/s: John Grant
