Artist/Band: Gilbert O'Sullivan
Lyrics for Song: Number 4
Lyrics for Album: A Stranger In My Own Back Yard [1974]



Number 4 In the beginning

There was one--

Himself had just began

Then along came Number 2--

The other way round is your clue

And after that came 3--

Written by you know me

Now I'm not saying anymore

Except to tell you

That this is not Number 1: number2:

Number 3: or Number 5 But Number 4


Number 4

Number 4 stands as a notable song in Gilbert O'Sullivan's 1974 album, A Stranger In My Own Back Yard. During this period, the English singer-songwriter continued to refine his signature blend of piano-driven pop and soulful balladry. Known for his distinctive falsetto and intricate melodies, O'Sullivan crafted a body of work that resonated deeply with audiences across the globe. This recording captures his ability to weave personal narratives into accessible, emotionally charged compositions. While the album explores themes of displacement and introspection, Number 4 contributes to the cohesive sonic landscape that defined his mid-seventies output. The track remains a testament to his enduring songwriting craft and his significant impact on the British pop canon.
