                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)
           (Try something like this close to the end of the song)
