John Grant - Is He Strange (Official Audio)

Lyrics: Licorice and nuts There are no if's 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 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
