Lyrics
A superfluous man
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Outside looking in, sometimes I feel so low (Repeat)
A self-excluding alien, I'm the stranger at your door
Took me until now to know I'm a superfluous man (Repeat)
It's wanting to be different that makes me what I am
Bullied in my schooldays, well I suffered teenage angst
Work hard at my job but my boss sees talking in the ranks
If you're going to be a loser, you need something to lose
Sometimes I find it hard to live with, living life the way I choose
Some people watch a thing happen, some don't know it's happened at all (Repeat)
But I me I make things happen, I won't be bound by these four walls
Outside looking in, sometimes I feel so low (Repeat)
A self-excluding alien, I'm the stranger at your door
