funny ways

In an interview with Derek and Ray Shulman of Gentle Giant on Songfacts, it is said of Funny Ways: "Is their any other song that better illustrates Gentle Giant's signature style? Xylophones and violins are part of this lengthy, four-movement composition that is defiantly anti-commercial."

Sorry to have been so much of a bore But in my own funny ways I find I learn much more I realise what you think from your eyes But in your own funny ways I find I learn much more My ways are strange They'll never change They stay strange ways Sorry to be so close from the start But for all that I care we could be miles apart I understood that you never would Understand a way of life I never could My ways are strange They'll never change They stay strange ways Go your own way or wait for me Go your own way or wait for me Go your own way or wait for me Go your own way or wait for me And so you see what happened to me Since the time when I judged my life in nights and days I realised that my life was lies So you see what I mean with all my funny ways Sorry to have been so much of a bore But in my own funny ways I find I learn much more Funny ways Funny ways Funny ways Funny ways
