Lyrics

Translation
Bilingual
Remember when I drew a bath
Then threw up and fell asleep
You got me into bed
Started cleaning
And on the playground
Behind our house, late at night
They shot a burglar down
I was sleeping
It was the neighbor who say him from a distance
He told the cops to come round
And everyone gathered to talk about
The stranger in our part of town
I bought a bicycle
Red and black, with old money
Then I totalled it
Two miles from the store
Once I stared at the moon
Jesus' blood never failed me yet
Cargo boat glided by
Then I cried
And when I walked back home the streets all seemed different
Stopped dead in my tracks to look around
And for the first time I became
A stranger in our part of town
Remember the festival
Bagpipes, Guinness
Fell into the water
Nearly drowned
It wasn't the end
Perhaps a beginning
Of a long and unspoken goodbye
Now when I go back home the streets all look different
Young kids are playing around
And people wave from a distance
To the stranger in our part of town
