Elvis Costello - Stranger in The House текст песни

This never was one of the great romances

But I thought youd always have those young girls eyes

But now they look in tired and bitter glances

At the ghost of a man who walks round in my disguise

I get the feeling that I dont belong here

But theres no welcome in the window anyway

And I look down for a number on my keychain

cause it feels more like a hotel everyday

Theres a stranger in the house; nobodys seen his face

But everybody says hes taken my place

Theres a stranger in the house no one will ever see

But everybody says he looks like me

And now you say youve got no expectations

But I know you also miss those carefree days

And for all the angry words that passed between us

You still dont understand me when I say

Theres a stranger in the house; nobodys seen his face

But everybody says hes taken my place

Theres a stranger in the house no one will ever see

But everybody says he looks like me
