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.

way back in ´59, a young boy was crying, he didn´t want to leave, but what could he say?

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.

stranger in my home town, i´m just a stranger in my home town.
stranger in my home town, whoo! stranger in my home town. i´m just a stranger.
