Lyrics
A Most Peculiar 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.
He was a most peculiar man
That's what Mrs. Riordan says
And she should know, she lived upstairs from him
She said he was a most peculiar man
He was a most peculiar man
He lived all alone, within a house
Within a room, within himself
A most peculiar man
He had no friends, he seldom spoke
And no one in turn ever spoke to him
‘Cause he wasn’t friendly and he didn’t care
And he wasn’t like them
Oh, no, he was a most peculiar man
He died last Saturday
He turned on the gas and he went to sleep
With the windows closed, so he'd never wake up
To his silent world and his tiny room
And Mrs. Riordan says he has a brother somewhere
Who should be notified soon
And all the people said
What a shame that he's dead
But, wasn't he a most peculiar man?
