Strange Arrangement Songtext
von The Waterboys

It′s a strange arrangement
I don't claim to understand it
I know I created it
But I never planned it

It′s a strange arrangement
And I'm not proud
Well perhaps a little ashamed
If ashamed is allowed


At the death of the year
In a crucial hour
I exchanged the power of love
For the love of power
The invisible captain
Must be laughing out loud
I feel as if I'm wrapped inside a
Cloud within a cloud

It′s a strange arrangement
And it′s fascinating to see
Which way the worm turns
Especially when the worm is me

Runaway child
I wish you were here
The weather is uncommonly mild
For this time of year
But it's no cause for pity
And it′s no reason to weep
Worse things can befall a man when he's
In his bed counting sheep


It′s a strange arrangement
An accommodation deluxe
I'll send you a postcard
When I′ve had enough
