Remember the Christmas tree that barely lasted half a week
The bristles all fell to their knees and collapsed on the kitchen surface
It was all a blur to me from Christmas Day to New Year’s Eve
I was watching late TV with no one to be seen
Searching for grass that’s green I left the house at rapid speed
Halfway to the Brockwell Seam I collapsed on my closest friend again
It wasn’t the only time I drank all of the cooking wine
Shrugged you off with tear-filled eyes and headed for the Parkside roundabout
It must’ve been awfully strange seeing your old friend look that way
It must’ve been awfully strange, it must’ve been awfully strange
It must’ve been awfully strange seeing your old friend look that way
You must think I’m awfully strange, you must think I’m awfully strange
It must’ve been awfully strange seeing your old friend look that way
It must’ve been awfully strange, it must’ve been awfully strange
Remembering Halloween, taking pills and making scenes
Everyone looked so happy, at least that’s how it looked from outside-in
Searching for lasting peace I jumped out from the creaking tree
Spent the day in frantic teams searching through the deep blue ocean
A vivid dream where I apologise for all the things I’ve done
Stand up on the table in the bar, in front of everyone
And when I wake, the driver shakes his head and turns and then we fly home
It must’ve been awfully strange seeing your old friend look that way
It must’ve been awfully strange, it must’ve been awfully strange
It must’ve been awfully strange seeing your old friend look that way
You must think I’m awfully strange, you must think I’m awfully strange
It must’ve been awfully strange seeing your old friend look that way
It must’ve been awfully strange, it must’ve been awfully strange
It must’ve been awfully strange seeing your old friend look that way
It must’ve been awfully strange, it must’ve been awfully strange
