An Outlier by Peter Hammill Lyrics

He never wanted to belong
Longed only to behold
He felt so strongly all along
He never could stand to be told

He played his hand out flippantly
But couldn’t hide the tell
His love was free and consequentially
The story’s priced to sell

He never wanted to belong
His hopes were all on hold;
Before too long he was been and gone
He never wanted to be told
He never wanted to be told
The story’s set to stay unsold

Home
He can’t get home

He never wanted to belong
Longed only to behold
He felt so strongly all along
He never wanted to be told
