Lyrics
I’ve fallen yet again for a captivating con,
sucked back into that sad old siren song.
I fell in love, I fell away, I fell behind, I fell apart.
What can I say? I am not strong.
Now I’m not falling on my sword, I’m just falling on my shins -
sweet moonshine, wash away my sins!
Big strawberry moon, save my soul;
let my body break, but you stay whole.
The city of stairs doesn’t want me,
I am a ghost with a bottomless cup.
I’m not stocious, I’m just hurting -
but all I have to do is look up.
Big strawberry moon, save my soul;
let my body break, but you stay whole.
I have no need of paradise, I have no need to roam;
big strawberry moon, take me home.
So throw on your cloak and come down and join me,
witness my struggles firsthand.
I’ll stay young and handsome, sleep forever in your light,
I’ll give you daughters, give you sons - we’ll form a band!
I’m just dressing for the weather, and the forecast is for pain.
The dark listens to the dark, night fosters night - my ripe, rose love keeps me sane.
Big strawberry moon, save my soul;
let my body break, but you stay whole.
I have no need of paradise, I have no need to roam;
big strawberry moon, take me home.
I see you and you see me;
I am bound and broken, you are free.
There’s grace on the ground, and grace in the hall.
I see you, you see all.

I’m getting old. Not much still excites me. But Arab Strap do. They really do. Make me feel alive and that is wonderful.

I feel SO honoured to be one of the ‘hen party’ dancers as an extra in the creation of this awesome video. Such a cool vibe on the day and we danced for 6 hours but made the final cut so it was worth it. I’m the growling one channeling my inner Mad Max sexy dancer. Thank you Arab Strap, it’s up there with one of my best memories ever! 🩸🙏😘

[@toddmichaeljohnson7139]

Hell yes! Awesome work on a fantastic music video 👍🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@ciaraodoherty76]

Arab Strap might be the best band in the world right now.

[@michaelkennedy8270]

If You put Father Ted and Garth Marenghi's Dark Place into a food blender, whacked it on full, topped it up with an unhealthy volume of Buckfast and then downed it under the light of a full moon, then this is what you'd get. One hell of a night with a biting hangover.

[@goodgovernors]

I don’t think it’s very nice of Arab Strap to got even better after their long hiatus and dropping such dense, beautiful, and surprising music as they get older. Was not prepared for this at all. Can not wait for this record.

[@MrAriksan]

coming back after years and bringing us such wonderful tunes and going on tours again? How cool is that? I love them since more then 20 years! thanks so much Aidan and Malcolm for making me feel alive! Love from Switzerland

[@petereplica]

Superb. They only album I'm looking forward to in '24

[@belindacole1699]

So glad I just discovered this band. Got me feeling feral & alive 🐍🙏

[@getthoseskills4451]

[@paulbateman8412]

Pre ordered vinyl after only listening to the first single. I just knew this band are creating some of the best music of their career right now. 2nd single & this one are superb.

[@dominicskelton3031]

Got this as a KZbin advert and immediately had to search it out. Top stuff.

[@michaelaitken1287]

World-weariness with an edge of terror -what's not to love!

[@damor8856]

Fantastico ... AWESOME track ... love the sideways glances when at the bar - hilarious ... does not stand up to a Duran Duran vidayo ... well I think we all accept that reality :) ... and as a side-bar .. you LEGENDS are reportedly gracing Galashiels again with your presence (a grateful 'nation' thanks you :) )

[@usunns2773]

Oh my lord it’s just so perfect as usual 🎸

[@PanthaAhimsa]

Pure decay is constant, and life never escapes it. Decadence is one because it allows for pure decay, without any complexes like religion. And religion wants purity, the one thing we can't abide when we only need to get off. One sip, one chug, one kiss: waves of decay. One thought, one mind, one world: the strife of purity. O that we were one.

[@olivierphilippe7853]

stylé

[@ineedathneed]

Sounds like The National with a dance track

[@garyriggans4155]

Awesome,😂

[@kaijusushi]

ummmm... did they use a bass sample from The Cult's "The Witch"?

[@vickibrown-dx1bh]

Looks awfully familiar 😄.

[@oliverkohring7691]

watch all Buffy episodes again...

[@MrCraigmackenzie]

Its Marty!

[@tomkat69pc]

the intro is from New Order i think .. .

[@KOBEKINO71]

si @tomkat69pc la intro tiene beats de confusion 83 tipo electro arthur baker. y las guitarras sucias post punk recuerdan a everything's gone green. Además ellos siempre han sonado neworderish: girls of summer or turbulance remix gran tema y vídeo arab strap forever.

[@geoffallan]

Teen Wolf Malc

[@sergejisd]

It reminds me of The Stranglers

[@ralfmalf5828]

Sounds a lot like I wanna dance with somebody by Whitney Houston 😂

[@jamesisabeastieboysfan]

New Easter chune?

[@Mhor_Al]

10 seconds posted and already 45 veiws 😂 yyyyaaaassd lads

[@tbwatch88]

love many many of their songs but this one not on. shall give the LP a chance though.

[@-chrisburke]

Absolute tosh. Aidan spends too much time on X and not enough time working on music. I was a big Arab Strap fan, but with each release, the quality diminishes. Poor. Very poor.

[@ghostbuttster]

Music video of the year!!! ♡ × ∞
