I Haven’t Got My Strange Lyrics
[Verse 1]
When I got back from fixing my hair
You were directing the traffic
Letting your story slip on the snow
As if the transmission was automatic
It's arguable that I shouldn't've been there
It was fortunate timing
I had a hole in the pocket of my favourite coat
And my love dropped into the lining
[Chorus]
(Have you got your strange?) Not on me
I haven't got my strange
(Have you got your strange?) Not on me
[Verse 2]
You can't sleep until you've sat on the steps
To weep 'til you feel like you've wept, yeah
(As long as you don't forget your strange)
[Chorus]
(Have you got your strange?) No, not on me
I haven't got my strange
(Have you got your strange?) Not on me
I haven't got my strange
I've better fetch my strange
I haven't got my strange
I haven't got my strange
When I got back from fixing my hair
You were directing the traffic
Letting your story slip on the snow
As if the transmission was automatic
It's arguable that I shouldn't've been there
It was fortunate timing
I had a hole in the pocket of my favourite coat
And my love dropped into the lining
[Chorus]
(Have you got your strange?) Not on me
I haven't got my strange
(Have you got your strange?) Not on me
[Verse 2]
You can't sleep until you've sat on the steps
To weep 'til you feel like you've wept, yeah
(As long as you don't forget your strange)
[Chorus]
(Have you got your strange?) No, not on me
I haven't got my strange
(Have you got your strange?) Not on me
I haven't got my strange
I've better fetch my strange
I haven't got my strange
I haven't got my strange
About
Genius Annotation
Third track on the single Crying Lightning.
This song is one of Alex Turner’s lyrical masterpieces. The line “I had a hole in the pocket of my favourite coat and my love dropped into the lining” is beyond clever it boggles the mind. The line “You can’t sleep until you’ve sat on the steps to weep until you feel like you’ve wept” just put Turner above all great lyricists, he just dove to the bottom of the pacific ocean my friends, that was DEEP. Absolutely unbelievable.
