abstract	Song Name: Strange Pursuit [ AKA Strange Pursuits] Artist: DEVO Years Performed: 1979 Run Time: 2:45 Writing Credits: Gerald V. Casale/Mark Mothersbaugh Sung By: Mark Mothersbaugh (lead), Gerald V. Casale (backing) Alternate Versions: None Known Demo Versions: Strange Pursuit (demo) Run Time: 2:31 * Demo recorded during late 1978 to early 1979 DNFTF album sessions and appears on Recombo DNA . * Titled "Strange Pursuit" on the original WB release and "Strange Pursuits" on some overseas releases. * The first two verses are included in the block of lyrics printed on the Duty Now For The Future LP inner sleeve. Mark's recorded vocals have some minor lyric differences. * G.V.C.'s backing vocals ("it's a strange pursuit") overlap Mark's vocals in the final verses of the song. * Mark sings the first three lines and then his (double-tracked) vocals become increasingly frantic till he shouts the final verses. Intersecting love lines drew us closer every day Always kept your distance when you felt my presence near you Love keeps on rolling over You'd fly in retreat I would follow without shame A stupid spud staggering to the flame To be had and rehad An innocent victim of the pain Now it's strange It's so strange (It's a strange pursuit) (It's a strange pursuit) (It's a strange pursuit) I come running like a fat boy in lead shoes But like the fat boy I'm huff puffing after you It's hopeless to hope for the one thing that I'm wanting 'cause it's strange, it's so very strange (It's a strange pursuit) Darling I'm dazzled but you know I'm too frazzled! (It's a strange pursuit) Taking my mind apart and lost the little pieces! (It's a strange pursuit) You know it's getting tough when you're getting real rough! (It's a strange pursuit) Darling I'm dazzled but you know I'm too frazzled! (It's a strange pursuit) Taking my mind apart and lost some of the pieces! (It's a strange pursuit)
