Strawberry Man - Mike Scott

Strawberry Man on top of the hill

out of your van on lager and pills

placing your girth slap bang in my way

I hear what it is you’re trying to say

Stop the world!

I want to get on

I’ve a story to tell

and if I don’t tell it pretty soon it will be gone

Strawberry Man fighting your war

I’m wandering what the hell are you for?

The sound of your drums is one bum boogaloo

Still your message comes thundering through

Stop the world!

I want to get on

I’ve a story to tell

and if I don’t tell it pretty soon it will be gone

And when he’s feeling glum

he looks just like his mum

And when he’s feeling sad

he looks just like his dad

just like his dad…

Strawberry Man at the end of the day

your and your band need somewhere to stay

Take my car keys, keep my shoes

One day I may need a favour from you

Stop the world!

I want to get on

I’ve a story to tell

and if I don’t tell it pretty soon it will be…
