Lyrics

Strange Pursuits

Intersecting love lines

Drew us closer every day

Always kept your distance

When you felt my presence near you

Love keeps on rolling over

You'd fly in retreat

I would follow without shame

A stupid spud staggering to the flame

To be had and rehad

An innocent victim of the pain

Now it's strange

It's a strange pursuit

I come running like the fat boy in lead shoes

Like the fat boy i'm huff puffing after you

It's hopeless to hope for

The one thing that i'm wanting

'cause it's strange

It's a strange pursuit

Darling i'm dazzled

But you know i'm too frazzled

I've taken my mind apart

And lost some of the pieces

It never gets tough

When you're gettin' real rough
