Stranger In My Home Town (Remastered 2016)
Dave Peverett - Riff Bros. Music - ASCAP
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?
Jump 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
{Dave - Solo}
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
{Dave - Solo}
I'm a stranger, a stranger - I'm a stranger, a stranger .
