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.

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.

I´m a stranger, a stranger - I´m a stranger, a stranger...
