Dave Peverett - Riff

Bros. Music - ASCAP

Who's that stranger walking

Verse 2
G 
A 
out in the cold?
Bm 
Standing on the corner with
G 
A 
his Kodachrome roll?
Bm 
He may be a psychopath,
G 
A 
he's acting so strange,
Bm 
Lying to himself,
G 
A 
saying nothing has changed.
Bm 
He stares across at a
G 
A 
house on the block,
Bm 
Trying to find the courage
G 
A 
to go over and knock.
Bm 
What will he say when
G 
A 
they open the door?
Bm 
"This was my home,
G 
A 
but it ain't no more."

Get now

Verse 3

He can't get Brixton,

out of his system.

It seems so pathetic, yeah,

but it's hard to forget it.

Way back

Verse 4

in '59, a young boy was crying,

he didn't want to leave, but what could he say?

Jumped into the lorry, left there in a hurry,

never knowing he'd back some day.

Verse 5

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.

A 
Bm 
Who's that Peeping Tom
G 
A 
climbing the wall?
Bm 
G 
A 
Staring at the back yard, he's gonna fall.
Bm 
He looks so suspicious,
G 
A 
I should called the law,
Bm 
I wish I could remember where
G 
A 
I've seen him before.

Verse 7

Sunrise to sundown,

stumbling through London town.

He acts like he's stranded,

but that's how he planned it.

Verse 8

Way back in '59, a young boy was crying,

he didn't want to leave, but what could he say?

Jump into the lorry, left there in a hurry,

never knowing he'd back some day.

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
