By the river through cobwebbed crannies we crawl Up against them all Under bridges and over graffitied walls We sin and fall All our craving our midnight ravings our love affairs Were born right there I swear I dont know how it started Or if it's ever gonna end But ever since we parted I've had a feeling that is Strange From the dirty old dealer in his bivouac To the meadow by the river off the beaten track With a pocket full of poison We wont forget this one To the bloody stained floors of the local casualty With television eyes and a loss of dignity To the boys in blue What we gonna do I dont I dont know how it started Or if its ever gonna end But ever since we parted I've had a feeling that is Strange, strange We grew up with this every day But the smiley faces helped us out, in a way We got broken bones, sick on the floor A bloke who thinks he's a matador in the way In our way We got silhouetted, caught light headed in the field Where we lay And i hope your better mate coz i can't stop getting afraid If you ok We were by the river We've got cold steel legs and shivering heads At the thought of how we're coming down We're getting out of this town I dont I dont kniow how it started Or if it's ever gonna end But ever since we parted I've had a feeling that is Strange, strange
