Strange Glue

About Strange Glue

"Strange Glue" is a song by Welsh rock group Catatonia. Written by guitarist Owen Powell, it was the band's fourth single to be released from International Velvet and charted at No. 11 on the UK charts. As a solo artist Cerys later sang Strange Glue merged with the song Galway Shawl in concert. The controversial b-side, "That's All Folks", was originally intended for the International Velvet album and had appeared on promo copies around the time of "I am the Mob" (but was later replaced by "My Selfish Gene" as the album's closer). The song was a scathing attack on their American label, Warners, written in 1997 when the band feared that they were to be dropped by the label or were to split up. Irish rock band Aslan recorded a cover of the song, included on their 2009 album, Un'cased. more »

It was strange glue that held us together
While we both came apart at the seams
She said your place or mine while we've still got the time
So I played along with her schemes
But I don't have the right to be with you tonight
So please leave me alone with no saviour in sight
I will sleep safe and sound with nobody around me

When faced with my demons, I clothe them and feed them
And I smile, yes I smile as they're taking me over
And if I can not sleep for the secrets I keep
It's the price I'm willing to meet
The end of the night never comes too quickly for me

But I don't have the right to be with you tonight
So please leave me alone with no saviour
I will sleep safe and sound with nobody around me

When faced with my demons
I clothe them and feed them
And I'll smile, yes I'll smile
As they're taking me over

And if I cannot sleep for the secrets I keep
It's the prize I'm willing to steal
Oh the end of the night never comes too quickly for me
And I smile . . .
The end of the night never comes too quickly for me
I smile, smile, I smile as they're taking me over
I smile
The end of the night never comes too quickly for me
Never comes too quickly for me
