Strange Little Girl Lyrics
One day you see a strange little girl look at you,
One day you see a strange little girl feeling blue.
She'd run to the town one day,
Leaving home and her country fair,
Just beware...
When you're there.
Strange little girl.
She didn't know how to live in a town that was rough,
It didn't take long before she knew she’d had enough.
Walking home in her wrapped up world,
She survived but she's feeling old,
'cos she found... all things cold.
Strange little girl, where are you going?
Strange little girl, where are you going?
Do you know where you could be going?
Walking home in her wrapped up world,
She survived but she's feeling old-
'Cos she found... all things cold.
Strange little girl, where are you going?
Strange little girl, where are you going?
Do you know where you could be going?
Strange little girl, where are you going?
Strange little girl, where are you going?
Do you know where you could be going?
One day you see a strange little girl feeling blue.
Leaving home and her country fair,
Just beware...
When you're there.
Strange little girl.
It didn't take long before she knew she’d had enough.
Walking home in her wrapped up world,
She survived but she's feeling old,
'cos she found... all things cold.
Strange little girl, where are you going?
Do you know where you could be going?
She survived but she's feeling old-
'Cos she found... all things cold.
Strange little girl, where are you going?
Do you know where you could be going?
Strange little girl, where are you going?
Do you know where you could be going?

I think it's about a guy who is kind of infatuated/intrigued by this girl who has come into his life. She is "strange" which isn't really a positive word, but he likes her because she hasn't become hardened like everyone else around him.
She's moving on again and going elsewhere to escape her problems, so he is saying "Do you know where you could be going?", like she is so innocent and naive, she could be going somewhere worse.
She is "strange" perhaps because she's like no one he's ever met, her naive nature and goodness are what make him notice her and want to watch out for her.

The Goblin stole the fairy’s trust He took her to perdition For years and years he sang her woes But she was locked in Hell and never knew And never could unlock his heart And set him free from sin
The Goblin stole the fairy’s trust He took her to perdition For years and years he sang her woes But she was locked in Hell and never knew And never could unlock his heart And set him free from sin
For years and years he sang her woes But she was locked in Hell and never knew
For years and years he sang her woes But she was locked in Hell and never knew
One day a man unlocked her gates And she found the way to go Back to the spiteful Goblin prince who’d locked her up for years
One day a man unlocked her gates And she found the way to go Back to the spiteful Goblin prince who’d locked her up for years
She asked his help to lift her curse But he could only...
She asked his help to lift her curse But he could only boast Of women he’d had yester year That didn’t mean a thing —
Alas Dark prince, your Goblin trait Has lost you faith and favour Sad Fairy Lass will seek elsewhere To find her lasting past release And quiet, trust, and favour
Did you ever think that what meant naught to you Might pain and cast asunder The trust and faith that you had wrought From Little Girl the Stranger?

rumour has it this song was abour a real girl but Hugh never let on who it was, ten
The song was written about a girl Hugh dated, she would part with him to go back to her country home to muck out her horses and such at the weekends. He was curious as to why. This I know as I own a signed copy of his book that contains meanings and information about what the band were up to around the time of recording etc
