STRANGE TOWN

Lyrics

Found myself in a strange town  
Though I've only been here for three weeks now  
I've got blisters on my feet  
Trying find a friend in Oxford Street  
I bought an A to Z guide book  
Trying to find the clubs and YMCAs  
But when you ask in a strange town  
They say don't know, don't care  
And I've got to go, mate  
  
They worry themselves about feeling low  
They worry themselves about the dreadful snow  
They all ignore me 'cause they don't know  
I'm really a spaceman from those UFOs  
  
You've got to move in a straight line  
You've got to walk and talk in four four time  
You can't be weird in a strange town  
You'll be betrayed by your accent and manners  
  
You've got to wear the right clothes  
Be careful not to pick or scratch your nose  
You can't be nice in a strange town  
Cause we don't know, don't care  
And we got to go, man  
  
Rush my money to the record shops  
I stop off in a back street  
Buy myself a snort  
We got our own manifesto  
Be kind to queers  
And I'm so glad the revolution's here  
It's nice and warm now!  
  
I've finished with clubs where the music's loud  
Cause I don't see a face in a single crowd  
There's no one there  
I look in the mirror  
But I can't be seen  
Just a thin, clean layer of mister sheen  
Looking back at me  
Oh, oh  
  
Found myself in a strange town  
Though I've only been here for three weeks now  
I've got blisters on my feet  
Trying find a friend in Oxford Street  
  
I bought an A to Z guide book  
Trying to find the clubs and YMCAs  
They say don't know, don't care  
And I've got to go, mate  
  
They worry themselves about feeling low  
They worry themselves about the dreadful snow  
They all ignore me 'cause they don't know  
I'm really a spaceman from those UFOs  
  
Strange town  
  
Break it up  
Burn it down, shake it up  
Break it up
