The Futureheads Stranger In A New Town Lyrics

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 face staring the opposite way

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
