“Rich & Strange” is the first track on the Asquarius album, and was also released as a single. It registered Cud's highest chart position of 24 in April '93.
The 12" single release included “The House That Cud Built”, a cardboard cut-out and build house designed by Glyn Dillon.
I'm never fed up,
Because I'm made up,
Head full of loose change,
Because I'm rich and strange.
Holy moses, here we go again,
Headlong into some crazy scheme,
Flushed and brash like an acumen,>
Success no more a pipe dream,
You must remember how,
Wow is to wow,
And a kiss is just too much.
From the cellar of my house comes a bellowing,
It's the tired and lonely tigers that I've kept there,
I can't imagine who the landlord's expecting,
They've been in their since June last year,
You must remember when,
You loved me like a friend,
And a kiss is just too much baby.
You must remember that,
I'm fat but I know where it's at,
And a kiss would be too much baby, let's get out of this town.
