Stranger on the town
The Damned

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

chorus

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

repeat chorus twice

don't need me, won't feed me now

just say the word, just smile as i'm thrown out

repeat chorus

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

repeat chorus twice

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 i'm 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
