Lyrics Tim Buckley – Ain’t It Peculiar
Text:
Ain’t it peculiar, darlin’
How our love goes on and on
Ain’t it peculiar, honey
We take the bad with the wrong
You know that time after time
A misfortune smiled
Ain’t it peculiar, woman
You know we’ll laugh our way through
When will this long night of a prison ever end?
When will this long night of a prison ever end?
You know I’m ready to say that
?
Lord, you’re the talk of the town
The next minute, you’re busted
Just listenin’ to that jailhouse sound
You know that time after time
A misfortune smiled
Ain’t it peculiar, woman
How we’ll just laugh our way through
When will this long night of a prison ever end?
When will this long night of a prison ever end?
You know, double-talk is poison
But that’s the rule of the game
Instead of back-stabbing, they practice
All the little things that drive you insane
You know that time after time
A misfortune smiled
You know, it’s so peculiar
I can still laugh my way through it
When will this long night of a prison ever end?
Ain’t it peculiar…
