The Hollies – Stranger Lyrics  Share

(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

[Chorus:]
Danger, there^,s a stranger
Intruding in your own backyard
But stranger, there^,s a danger
Don^,t come across nobody hard

[ Stranger lyrics from
http://www.musiclyricsnow.net/h/hollies/stranger/ ]
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]
