Al Stewart - Strange Girl

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!
