Lyric Stranger In My Own Town

J. Spinks, T. Lewis


I still remember what I saw last night
Three small kids stealing money from a poor man
Now that ain t right - no that ain t right
I m still thinking bout the things I heard
Poor old man - he was frightened and afraid of every word
- and it s all so absurd

But times are changing now an d I still care
There must be something we can do out there
I m like a stranger in my own town baby
I m like a stranger in my own town baby

I keep on walkin through these run down streets
Graffiti walls - this ain t nothing like it used to be
Not for you or for me
This town s never been so down before
Looks like a photograph - someone mighta taken in
the second world war
Oh but what was that for

So many people gave their lives for this
There s nothing left for us to reminisce
I m like a stranger in my own town baby
I m like a stranger in my own town baby

When those sad days were over
I m sure they all thought that weld won
But now as I look around
We re still invaded by everyone

Things won t ever be the same again
I ve not lost a town - I ve lost my only friend
Oh but where does it end
We ll never change these times with good intent
But right now I know I don t feel content

I m like a stranger in my own town baby
I m like a stranger in my own town baby
