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. |
