Stranger Lyrics & Tabs by Ben Caplan & The Casual Smokers
Stranger
guitar chords lyrics
When I was a child my mother
Would talk me into bed
And each night as she kissed me
These are the words that she said
She said
Don't go to bed with strangers
Don't play with the dead
Always keep your wits sharp
Like an axe inside the shed
[Yay diridiri day diridiri day]
[Yay diridiri day daydaday]
[Yiridaydayday yirididaydayday]
[Dayday dayday dayday]
When I was just a schoolboy
My father, he spoke unto me
[Dayday dayday dayday]
When I was just a schoolboy
My father, he spoke unto me
He said, "Voychik, my son
Don't trust anyone
And remember that nothing is free
"And the world is full of strangers
The world is full of dread
The world is full of sharpened wits
And millions of tears you will shed"
[Yay diridiri day diridiri day...]
Well, when I was a young man
My professor at university
Said advice is corrupting
Don't ever be trusting
Don't show your emotion
You're somebody in an ocean
And it's dark as the bottom of the sea
And there's no such thing as a stranger
They're equally backwards and round
Shapened axe is not wits,
Cause I've broken my sticks
And you never be free till you're strong
[Yay diridiri day diridiri day...]
Well, young men grow older
And the world gets colder
Though it never was warm to begin
Don't let down your guard
For the reaper works hard
And he will not take pause till you're dead
Now I'm old and I'm rusty
My troubles like sand on a beach
They can't be calculated
I always have waited
For something just out of reach
And I to myself am a stranger
My heart is an island of lead
My world is resounding
With miseries unbounding
There's only one thing to be said
I'll say [hay diridiri day diridiri day...]
