Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Arnold Layne
Had a strange hobby
Collecting clothes
Moonshine, washing line
They suit him fine
[Verse 2]
On the wall
Hung a tall mirror
Distorted view
See through baby blue
He dug it
[Verse 3]
Oh, Arnold Layne
It's not the same
Takes two to know
Two to know
Two to know
Two to know
Why can't you see?
[Verse 4]
Arnold Layne
Arnold Layne
Arnold Layne, Arnold Layne
[Verse 5]
Now he's caught
A nasty sort of person
They gave him time
Doors bang, chain gang
He hates it
[Verse 6]
Oh, Arnold Layne
It's not the same
Takes two to know
Two to know
Two to know
Two to know
Why can't you see?
[Verse 7]
Arnold Layne
Arnold Layne
Arnold Layne
Arnold Layne don't do it again
