Stranger in a New Town

The boys on the stairs Ghosts moving, dancing, in black and white Disappearing through the hall Like silhouettes, something from a magazine Wise blood ringing in my ears I didn't want to go home A stranger in a new town This is where it all breaks down One face staring the opposite way One face staring the opposite way One road leading off the estate One face staring the opposite way The band started late, played on into the night Spirit like water building up and knocking down Leading us together, leading us together It's good to be a stranger, every now and then Something, something's getting closer A stranger in a new town This is where it all breaks down One face staring the opposite way One face staring the opposite way One road leading off the estate One road leading off the estate Concrete dust and orange peel Kids rolling down Tunstall Hill A bird crows on and on until A stranger in a new town Your money's no good here A stranger in a new town The language is good here A stranger in a new town I'm falling in love with everything I see A stranger in a new town I've got to get the perfect start A stranger in a new town Your money's no good here A stranger in a new town The language is good here A stranger in a new town I'm falling in love with everything I see A stranger in a new town I've got to get the perfect start A stranger in a new town Your money's no good here --- Stranger in a New Town - The Futureheads
