DOCUMENT: STRANGE

Another cover song.  This tune really fits the theme of the album and acts as a nice bridge to End Of The World.  It's vastly different from the original as demonstrated below ... Wire's is very moody and there are a couple of minor word changes, but nothing crazy.  As opposed to Superman, this cover finds the band adapting a song to their needs and feeling at the time of recording an album. 





STRANGE
Yeah!
There’s something strange going on tonight
There’s something going on that’s not quite right
Michael’s nervous and the lights are bright
There’s something going on that’s not quite right

There’s something going on that wasn’t here before
Keep your eyes glued to the floor
There’s something strange going on tonight
There’s something going on that’s not quite right, Unh-hunh

Do, do, do, do, do, do, doodoo
Do, do, do, do, do, do, doodoo

There’s something strange going on tonight
There’s something going on that’s not quite right
Michael’s nervous and the lights are bright
There’s something going on that’s not quite right

There’s something going on that wasn’t here before
Keep your eyes glued to the floor
No one’s gonna to say goodnight
There’s something going on that’s not quite right, Unh-hunh

There’s something going on that wasn’t here before
Keep your eyes glued to the floor
No one’s gonna to say goodnight
There’s something going on that’s not quite right, Unh-hunh

Do, do, do, do, do, do, doodoo
Do, do, do, do, do, do, doodoo
Do, do, do, do, do, do, doodoo
Do, do, do, do, do, do, doodoo
Do, do, do, do, do, do, doodoo
Do, do, do, do, do, do, doodoo
Do, do, do, do, do, do, doodoo
Do, do, do, do, do, do, doodoo

Do … do, do … do, do


Very simple with an easy lead ... pure Buck ...
