Hollies Stranger Lyrics

Stranger Lyrics

(clarke / sylvester / hicks)

Down down down town, east side of the
river

Bowery boys are living off the street

There stands a stranger
all dressed in black

He's looking for someone - he's gonna knife 'em in
the back

Hit man, g-man, con man, watch it man, he might be from the
cia

Sneaky pete's using his feet, getting off the street 'cos

He's
got something to hide



Danger, there's a stranger

Intruding
in your own backyard

But stranger, there's a danger

Don't come
across nobody hard



So tough mixing it rough down in harlem

There's no honky boys for miles around

But there's that stranger all
dressed in white

He's looking for someone

He's gonna show 'em the
light, yeah

He's gonna show 'em the light, oh yeah



Don't
feel safe using the face of fifth avenue

Pin stripe suits ain't no
disguise if you're not a man that's true

Hit man, g-man, con man, watch
it man, he might be from the cia

Sneaky pete's using his feet, getting
off the street 'cos

He's got something to hide



Chorus
