A Most Peculiar Man — текст песни (Simon and Garfunkel)

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?
