 (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)
