Al Stewart (born in Glasgow, Scotland on 5 September 1945) is a British songwriter and musician. He is best known for his 1976 single Year of the Cat and its 1978 follow-up Time Passages (both produced by Alan Parsons). Stewart's inspiration for his songs primarily comes from the past; indeed, he is credited with creating his own genre, "historical folk rock". At one time in his life, Stewart took guitar lessons from King Crimson guitarist Robert Fripp.

Your father's a collector and his things are a delight He likes cameras and binoculars and everything in sight, He collects them in a wagon in the middle of the night Every holiday's a nightmare and it's giving me the chills Everybody ends up fighting, I remember it still The only thing that they agree on is it's me they want to kill
You're a strange girl, you come from a strange family You're a strange girl, I don't understand your vanity
I think we ought to break up, I could really use the rest Everything I like to say is something you detest But every time I try to leave you say you love me best I was looking for some mystery, I thought you'd be the girl I really must admit you were like nothing in this world I finally got the oyster but I never found the pearl
You're a strange girl, you come from a strange family You're a strange girl, I don't understand your vanity You're a strange girl, you come from a strange family You're a strange girl, I think you're headed for calamity AmGEm7F7 Strange strange...girl AmGEm7F7 Strange strange...girl Strange strange...Most peculiar!
