letra de strange fish - toby martin

as i walked out one summer’s morn
i heard the thrushes singin’
as i came over the top of cop hill
i felt the valley lifting
the c-n-l spooled out like videotape
the road went down and up again
a smell came up so fragrant
i felt a strong belonging

as i opened up my shutters one morn
i heard the neighbour knock
he’s asking for my wifi password
for his illegal skybox
his daughter’s doing the gcse
so i feel responsibility
and he still owes me thirty pounds
so i do it for his family

and if the romans were herе for four hundred years
and nevеr were called british
what hope do we have
to ever be more than strange fish?
strange fish
strange fish
strange, strange fish
as i walked out one summer’s morn
i heard a lass a-cryin’
and by the time i got in the door
by her brother’s bar, he was lyin’
i held his son because i got out my phone
and tried to staunch the bleedin’
and by the time the ambulance came
he was in the pub a-drinkin’

and the newspaper headlines:
“brave mums and knife crimes”
standing in the way of the people’s wish
call me ‘pal’, call me ‘buddy’, don’t look at me funny
like i’m some strange fish
strange fish
strange fish
strange fish
strange fish
strange, strange fish
