The Stranger Lyrics

The plane comes down
Behind enemy lines
The stars shine obscenely above you
You don't speak the language but
You've learned your lines
And you have a gift for making people love you

Now you're a stranger,
Now it feels better, it feels better and better
Till you feel nothing at all

You follow the river until you reach the top
Sleeping rough getting closer to the target
The nights and days have murdered all
Keeping you down, you dreaming like
Of all the things you'll have to forget

Now you're a strange,
Now it feels better, it feels better and better
Till you feel nothing at all
Now you're a STRANGER,
Now it feels better, it feels better and better

There is a billboard by the station
And behind it is the drop
You have one last thing you have to do
If you want all this to stop
Just remember who your friends are
Keep in mind you are the lone
Look inside the envelope, you're never going home

Now you're a stranger,
Now it feels better, it feels better and better
Till you feel nothing at all
Now you're a stranger,
Now it feels better, it feels better and better

The Stranger Song Chart

This song was inspired by vocalist Torquil Campbell's reading about the public school educated British/Soviet double agent Kim Philby, who was one of the most notorious traitors in UK history. "To be English is to have secrets; to be a stranger; so in a way I guess this song is about me," Campbell told The Line Of Best Fit . "But it really started with an image of a parachute in the night sky, and it went from there."

Murray Lightburn from The Dears plays the guitar on the track. "You could argue that me and him are the darkest f--kers on the Montreal music scene," said Campbell. "It's all a bit dark, but quite velvety. Like a nice mug of cocoa with some cyanide in it."
