Their only album to date is Remedy, produced in June 2003 under Warner Bros. Records. The band seems now nothing more then the few .mp3s scattered across the forgotten recesses of unplayed directories of those who are actually reading this, as even their old website (http://www.strangecelebrity.com/strangeindex.html) has been reduced to a domain squatter. Eh, too bad, thanks for scrobbling!

Strange Celebrity Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Come and lay me down and ease my worry
Slow my mind and help me
Help me find my release
I am held in the prison cryin'
On my knees prayin' I won't
Die in this moment of grief
Won't you come and carry me
High above so I can see
Pick me up out of this haze
And put your arms around me
Come and lift me up so I can be free
Come my escape
'Cause I try to scream I'm hearin' silence
Beggin' someone help me
Help me find my way
'Cause I'm reachin' out in all directions
Believin' that there's some way
I can live in this moment alone
So I'm hear and I'm waiting
Won't you come carry me
High above so I can see
Pick me up out of this haze
And put your arms around me
Come and lift me up so I can be free
So I'm here and I'm waiting
Won't you come carry me
High above so I can see
Pick me up out of this haze
And put your arms around me
Come and lift me up so I can be free
