Ed Harcourt - Strangers lyrics

Deliciously

I drink up all your tears

On a piano ouy 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

Ferociously

We fumble in the dark

Two lovers acting like strangers

Society won't cage us

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
