Strange Girl (Bombastic Version) Lyrics
It was an old song from,"Kiss me, Kiss me, Kiss me" that she sang
It was an old line
I kept it with me, with me, with me when she left
You're such a strange girl
You're such a strange, strange girl
You're such a strange girl
Its all been erased
Everyone is telling me
It's slightly deranged
Everyone is telling me
We traded blindness for some wisdom
And some lines around our eyes
But you just act like it was a fact of life
It didn't come as a surprise
You're such a strange girl
You're such a strange, strange girl
You're such a strange girl
And no you can't ever go home
Everything has changed and your people are gone
So you close your eyes
You try to summon a song
And you feel your life falling under you like a slide,
Like a slide
It was an old song
I once knew every note and every line
It was a long night when I carried you and you carried you for a time
You're such a strange girl
You're such a strange, strange girl
You're such a strange girl
Its all been erased, everyone is telling me
You're slightly deranged,
Everyone is telling me
I dreamt of your face
And what the song was telling me
Time has made it all obscene
And trapped us in our dream

A "Strange Girl" with "Lines around here eyes" who listened to "Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me"
and I think "It's all been arranged" not erased.
In his youth, ATE frontman Mikel Jollett was a fan of The Cure and this song is a nod to the UK gothic rock band. "You miss being 16 and loving anything that much, anything that makes you feel that overwhelmingly for a song, and it's like the most consistent feeling you have sometimes," he explained to UK newspaper The Independent.
