Al Stewart - Strange Girl
текст песни

You're a strange girl, you come from a strange family
You're a strange girl, I don't understand your vanity
Your mother's taking pills all day, she's looking to escape
Your uncle's in the County Jail for statutory rape

Just another runner never made it to the tape
Your cousin gets his kicks setting everything on fire
Your little brother always lets the air out of my tyres
Your sister wants to prove that she's an object of desire

You're a strange girl, you come from a strange family
You're a strange girl, I don't understand your fantasy
Your father's a collector and his things are a delight
He likes cameras and binoculars and everything in sight,

He collects them in a wagon in the middle of the night
Every holiday's a nightmare and it's giving me the chills
Everybody ends up fighting, I remember it still
The only thing that they agree on is it's me they want to kill

You're a strange girl, you come from a strange family
You're a strange girl, I don't understand your vanity
I think we ought to break up, I could really use the rest
Everything I like you say is something you detest

But every time I try to leave you say you love me best
I was looking for some mystery, I thought you'd be the girl
I really must admit you were like nothing in this world
I finally got the oyster but I never found the pearl

You're a strange girl, you come from a strange family
You're a strange girl, I don't understand your vanity
You're a strange girl, you come from a strange family
You're a strange girl, I think you're headed for calamity

Strange strange girl
Strange strange girl
Strange strange
Most peculiar!
Strange strange girl
