Stranger On The Town

Stranger On The Town

Damned (The)
(album: Strawberries)

Did you ever see a man turned inside out
He can come and go without a sound
They say ok when they turn you down
´Cos someones always smiling when they really frown

You turf me out can´t keep me down
´Cos I´m a stranger on the town
Don´t put me down

And I only want a place to rest my head
But if looks could kill I might as well be dead
Get me on my feet take me to the door
I´ll face the law might even get a bed

You turf me out can´t keep me down
´Cos I´m a stranger on the town
Don´t put me down
You turf me out can´t keep me down
´Cos I´m a stranger on the town
Don´t put me down

Don´t need me
Won´t feed me now
Just say the word
Just smile as I´m thrown out

You turf me out can´t keep me down
´Cos I´m a stranger on the town
Don´t put me down

And the city´s new so the faces change
I know they´re different yet they act the same
I´ve read the script and I know the score
I know it´s only time before I´m shown the door

You turf me out can´t keep me down
´Cos I´m a stranger on the town
Don´t put me down
You turf me out can´t keep me down
´Cos I´m a stranger on the town
Don´t put me down

I´ve got some money
So do you love me now?
Now will you run me out
And they wonder why I shout

Even in a crowd when you´re all alone
It´s so far from home there´s faces all around
They stare mean and proud you´ve gotta get away
You gotta get away

So I´m a stranger
And though you put me down you know I
Aint no clown and you´re a stranger
´Cause I´ll see you around
When the chips are down

And I´m a stranger on the town....

Ooh ooh the city´s new the faces change
I know they´re different yet they act the same

´Cos I´m a stranger on the town

And I only wanna place to rest my head
If looks could kill I might as well be dead

´Cos Im a stranger on the town
Yes I am

And everyone tries to put you down
Nobody wants to have you around

´Cos I´m a stranger on the town
Yes I am
