Strangers - Ed Harcourt

Deliciously

I drink up all your tears

On a piano out of tune

I sit and persevere

Deliriously

I eat up all your words

And jumble them around

'Til they become absurd

Remember how it was

They said it wouldn’t last

You proved them wrong

Took on everyone

Like a clock that can’t keep time

Bad thoughts to hide

Or a poem that won’t ever rhyme

Now strangers sing, this song for her

Mao mao etc. etc.

Oh remember how it was

they said it wouldn’t last

You proved them wrong

Took on everyone

Remember how it was

Remember how it was
