Is He Strange

Is He Strange - John Grant

Lyrics by：John Grant

Composed by：John Grant

Produced by：Paul Alexander/John Grant/Matt Pence/Benge

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

And I only hope that you can see

That you've transformed

This heart inside of me
