Who's that stranger walking out in the cold?
|
Standing on the corner with his Kodachrome roll?
|
He may be a psychopath, he's acting so strange,
|
Lying to himself, saying nothing has changed.
|
He stares across at a house on the block,
|
Trying to find the courage to go over and knock.
|
What will he say when they open the door?
|
"This was my home, but it ain't no more."
|
|
He can't get Brixton, out of his system.
|
It seems so pathetic, yeah, but it's hard to forget it.
|
|
Way back in '59, a young boy was crying, he didn't want to leave, but what could he say?
|
Jumped into the lorry, left there in a hurry, never knowing he'd back some day.
|
|
Stranger in my home town, I'm just a stranger in my home town.
|
Could this street be a part of me? I can't believe it - this ain't no place to be.
|
|
Who's that Peeping Tom climbing the wall?
|
Staring at the back yard, he's gonna fall.
|
He looks so suspicious, I should called the law,
|
I wish I could remember where I've seen him before.
|
|
Sunrise to sundown, stumbling through London town.
|
He acts like he's stranded, but that's how he planned it.

Stranger in my home town, whoo! Stranger in my home town. I'm just a stranger.

I'm a stranger, a stranger - I'm a stranger, a stranger ...
