(Riff 2)
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, yea, but it's hard to forget it
(Riff 3)
Way back in fifty-nine, a young boy was cryin'
He didn't want to leave, but what did he say
Jumped into the lorry, left there in a hurry
Never knowing he'd back some day
(Riff 4)
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
(Riff 1 x4)
(Riff 2)
Who's that peeping tom climbing the wall
Staring at the back door, he's gonna fall
He looks so suspicious, I should call the law
I wish I could remember where I've seen him before
Sunrise to sundown, stumbling through a London town
He acts like he's stranded, but that's how he planned it
(Repeat Way back in fifty-nine & Stranger in my home town)
[Solo] (Riff 1 x8)
