lyrics

I had a strange day today
as I went out on my own
rain storm hanging in the clouds
and on the telephone

the shops were all shut and boarded up
the trees scowled into the wind
I walked down that familiar street
and something wasn't the same

I had a strange day yesterday
went for a walk by the sea
ten miles on I was home again
distance caught up to me

suddenly a hole appeared in my shoe
my tie came undone
my scarf unravelled and fell to the ground
and I hurried indoors to hide

I'll have a strange day tomorrow
go out to catch the sun
and if anybody talks to me
I'll say I'm on the run

I'll search for strange days wherever I can
In landscapes twisted and bare
Iron shod and bicycle chained
And devil may care
