Strange Girl -Al Stewart Capo 2 Intro: (4x) You’re a strange girl you come from a strange family You’re a strange girl I don’t understand your vanity Your mother’s taking pills although she’s looking to escape Your uncle’s in the County Jail for statutory rape Just another runner never made it to the tape Your cousin gets his kicks setting everything on fire Your little brother always lets the air out of my tyres Your sister wants to prove that she’s an object of desire You’re a strange girl you come from a strange family You’re a strange girl I don’t understand your fantasy Your father’s a collector and his things are a delight He likes cameras and binoculars and everything in sight He collects them in a wagon in the middle of the night Every holiday’s a nightmare and it’s giving me the chills Everybody ends up fighting I remember it still The only thing that they agree on is it’s me they want to kill You’re a strange girl you come from a strange family You’re a strange girl I don’t understand your vanity I think we ought to break up I could really use the rest Everything I like to say is something you detest But every time I try to leave you say you love me best I was looking for some mystery I thought you’d be the girl I really must admit you were like nothing in this world I finally got the oyster but I never found the pearl You’re a strange girl you come from a strange family You’re a strange girl I don’t understand your vanity You’re a strange girl you come from a strange family You’re a strange girl I think you’re headed for calamity Strange strange...girl Strange strange...girl Strange strange...Most peculiar! Strange strange...girl

La chanson parle d'une jeune femme issue d'une famille peu ordinaire, dont les membres sont tous plus déroutants les uns que les autres. Le narrateur exprime son incompréhension face à sa vanité et aux comportements étranges de sa famille, où l'on trouve des situations délicates comme des conflits familiaux, des comportements disfonctionnels et des passions destructrices. Il se sent perdu dans cette dynamique et envisage de mettre fin à leur relation, tout en se rendant compte qu'il a cherché quelque chose de mystérieux chez elle, mais n’a pas trouvé ce qu’il espérait. Le contexte semble refléter des relations compliquées, où l’amour se mêle à la frustration et à l’absurdité d’une vie familiale chaotique. C'est un tableau aussi fascinant qu'inquiétant des liens familiaux et des attentes déçues.
