The Stranglers
Norman Normal
I know a man who only lives by crime
In fact, he does it all the time
He has a cat, and he has a dog
Two children and a wife
He was read his rights just before he lay
When the guard was already in intensive care
But his so-called friends were already in Spain
A sailor who fought for me and you
He dresses up all the time
On the Saturday night, in his fishnet tights
He's cute, but way past his prime
And then he found out after all those years
He took his daughter to the station and left his wife in tears
He realised, (he was a ginger beer)
He was homosexual
Take me much higher than I wanted to see the rain
Norman Normal, he's one Hell of a guy
Norman Normal, he's one Hell of a guy
I knew a man, a good old Ulster man
He was always kind to me
His mates were killing indiscriminately
Daily on TV
He went to work just the other day
Turned the key in the car, but blown away
Doesn't God work in mysterious ways?
Take me much higher than I wanted to see the rain
Norman Normal, he's one Hell of a guy
Norman Normal, he's one Hell of a guy
Take me much higher than I wanted to see the rain (Norman Normal, he's one Hell of a guy)
Take me much higher than I wanted to see the rain (Norman Normal, he's one Hell of a guy)
Take me much higher than I wanted to see the rain (Norman Normal, he's one Hell of a guy)
Take me much higher than I wanted to see the rain (Norman Normal, he's one Hell of a guy)
Take me much higher than I wanted to see the rain (Norman Normal, he's one Hell of a guy)
Take me much higher than I wanted to see the rain (Norman Normal, he's one Hell of a guy)
(Norman Normal, Normal, Normal, Normal...)
