Subject: IS IT REALLY SO STRANGE? by The Smiths

Is It Really So Strange?

(Morrissey/Marr)

This is a pretty standard Smiths song. Of course Marr improvises a lot by

bend it (with your pinky) to give it that bluesy flavour.

I left the North

I traveled South

I found a tiny house

I can~t help the way I feel

oh yes you can kick me

and you can punch me

and you can break my face

but you won~t change the way i feel

Cause i love you

And is it really so strange?

Oh, is it really so strange?

Oh, is it really so, really so strange?

I say NO, you say YES

(but you will still change your mind)

I left the South

I traveled North

I got confused- I killed a horse

I can~t help the way I feel

Oh yes, you can punch me

and you can buck me

and you can break my spine

but you won~t change the way I feel

Cause I love you

And is it really so strange?

Oh, is it really so strange?

Oh, is it really so, really so strange?

I say NO, you say YES

(but you will still change your mind)

I left the North again

I left the South again

I got confused- I killed a nun

I CAN~T HELP THE WAY I FEEL

I CAN~T HELP THE WAY I FEEL

I CAN~T HELP THE WAY I FEEL

(I lost my bag in Newport Pagnell)

Why is the last mile the hardest mile

My throat was dry, with the sun in my eyes

And I realised, I realised

That I could never

I could never, never, never go home again
