It's Not Peculiar Lyrics - Husker Du

Is it sensible, life is what it seems 

When you're living in a dream? 

Could you care enough while pausing on a thought? 

Can you think of what you've got? 

(Only you know what matters in your life) 

When it's pouring out, you're pondering inside 

And all the times you shouted and everybody cried 

You got to learn to compromise 

To live inside the others lives 

It's not peculiar 

There's nothing to devise at all, alright 

At all, alright, at all, alright, at all, alright 

On a stormy night, you're sitting on the floor 

Is it nothing anymore? 

Waking up to fix it, making up the fight 

Will it be one more tonight? 

(Some things we said will never wash away) 

Taking all of this into another day 

Recollections of the words we used to say 

The times you looked into my eyes 

Whispered vowing not to lie 

It's not peculiar 

There's nothing to devise at all, alright 

At all, alright, at all, alright, at all, alright 

Near the telephone, it's raining in the fall 

And you hope I never call 

Sending messages that never get received 

But we're trying, I believe 

(Sometimes we wonder what our lives are for) 

Taking all of this is taking all of me 

Sometimes I wish I had the energy 

When it falls apart like fragments of our lives 

Give a little bit and give a lot to die 

It's not peculiar 

There's nothing to devise at all, alright 

At all, alright, at all, alright, at all, alright 

At all, alright, at all, alright, at all, alright, at all
