MR. STRANGEWAYS (Ron Griffiths)
[rough demo from "Someday We'll Be Known" bootleg CD]

Mr. Strangeways walks down the road

On his way to work

Though he's dressed in crazy clothes

He hasn't gone berserk


You see, Mr. Strangeways is a funny little man

He's not like you and me

He runs a little curio shop

With his wife named Emily


His customers are just as strange

They come to purchase dreams

They come and go, day in, day out

Endless as it seems


You see, Mr. Strangeways is a funny little man

He knows it all, you see

He'll fix you up with a whadda-you want

Too bad it's make-believe!


BRIDGE:

Mr. Strangeways, strange

Mr. Strangeways

Ahhhhhhhhhh-ahhhhhhhh

Ahhhhhhhhhh-ahhhhhhhh

Ahhhhhhhhhh-ahhhhhhhh


Thought I'd take a walk down there

'Cause I've a broken heart

I told him all about little you

He said, "Let's make a start"


Mr. Strangeways, sell me your dream

Mr. Strangeways, any old thing

Mr. Strangeways, make me feel bright

Mr. Strangeways.
