Stranger In My Home Town

[00:04.57] Dave Peverett - Riff Bros. Music - ASCAP
[00:16.35] Who's that stranger walking out in the cold?
[00:20.95] Standing on the corner with his Kodachrome roll?
[00:24.50] He may be a psychopath, he's acting so strange,
[00:28.16] Lying to himself, saying nothing has changed.
[00:31.70] He stares across at a house on the block,
[00:35.79] Trying to find the courage to go over and knock.
[00:39.36] What will he say when they open the door?
[00:42.18] "This was my home, but it ain't no more."
[00:45.77] He can't get Brixton, out of his system.
[00:52.02] It seems so pathetic, yeah, but it's hard to forget it.
[00:59.32] Way back in '59, a young boy was crying, he didn't want to leave, but what could he say?
[01:08.37] Jumped into the lorry, left there in a hurry, never knowing he'd back some day.
[01:15.66] Stranger in my home town, I'm just a stranger in my home town.
[01:21.94] Could this street be a part of me? I can't believe it - this ain't no place to be.
[01:33.66] Who's that Peeping Tom climbing the wall?
[01:51.71] Staring at the back yard, he's gonna fall.
[01:55.36] He looks so suspicious, I should called the law,
[01:58.98] I wish I could remember where I've seen him before.
[02:02.66] Sunrise to sundown, stumbling through London town.
[02:08.95] He acts like he's stranded, but that's how he planned it.
[02:16.13] Way back in '59, a young boy was crying, he didn't want to leave, but what could he say?
[02:26.14] Jump into the lorry, left there in a hurry, never knowing he'd back some day.
[02:31.60] Stranger in my home town, I'm just a stranger in my home town.
[02:38.89] Could this street be a part of me? I can't believe it - this ain't no place to be.

[03:17.09] Stranger in my home town, I'm just a stranger in my home town.
[03:25.23] Could this street be a part of me? I can't believe it - this ain't no place to be.
[03:35.28] Stranger in my home town, I'm just a stranger in my home town.
[03:43.31] Stranger in my home town, whoo! Stranger in my home town. I'm just a stranger.
[03:51.56] {Dave - Solo}
[04:06.95] I'm a stranger, a stranger - I'm a stranger, a stranger ...
