Ain’t It Peculiar

By Tim Buckley

On Look at the Fool

Ain't it peculiar, darlin'

How our love goes on and on

Ain't it peculiar, honey

We’ll take the right with the wrong

You know that time after time

A misfortune smiles

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 sail her

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 smiles

Ain't it pecular, woman

How we'll just laugh our way through it:

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

The little things that drive you insane

You know that time after time

A misfortune smiles

You know, it's so peculiar

I can still laugh my way through it

When will this long night of a prison ever end?

When will this long night of a prison ever end?

Ain't it peculiar (6 x's, fade out)
