Strangeways
Strange, strange
I was born into confusion
My mother said to me
"When you become a man
You'll understand"
But it's still a mystery
And if you want to get ahead
Get some decent clothes
The only way to make it
Dress the part
That gets right up my nose
And I think to myself in this river of doubt
This is something I can do without
But strangeways is what I got
The Indians are comin'
I saw it on TV
They're twenty thousand strong
But they always get depleted
By the cavalry
Salvation is at hand
It's guaranteed
Just send a donation
Straight to god, one-eight hundred
Toll free
And I think to myself in this academy of fear
Where am I going? What am I doing here?
But strangeways is all I got
Have you seen the headlines?
"Princess engaged"
Three million out of work
But that's on
The second page
The alien has landed
His finger in his ear
Can't hear a word I'm sayin'
But maybe
That ain't such a bad idea
And I think to myself in this cradle of lust
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust
But strangeways is all you get
