Stranger Than The Stranger On The Shore Lyrics - Squeeze

(Difford/Tilbrook) 

Acid casualties and angry young men 

The litmus test of a guitar and pen 

Revolve around date sheets lost lonely rooms 

And this is my home and I will leave soon 

For a house with a tower 

Where there's visiting hours 

And the day leaves its taste on a spoon 

The black eye of the camera bruised by my blush 

Leaves another chin and another hair cut 

The image in focus the shot aims to kill 

And I'm cropped at the waist as I run through the mill 

So I'm lost for an encore 

The kodachrome wants more 

Now I'm snapped with my head in the still

The contract's been signed with a stroke of my blood 

I'm drowned by the name that sinks in the mud 

Thrown from emotion to swim back to the shore 

Where the sound of a drum beats time to applause 

Now my life's in danger 

Of ending up stranger 

Than the stranger who walked on the shore 

Photos 

Stranger than the stranger 

Who walks by my bed 

Shares in my life 

Lives although dead 

Stranger than the stranger I am sure 

Stranger than the stranger on the shore
