Favourite Stranger — текст песни (Fish)

(dick/usher)



Some times I feel I lost something

In gaining everything,

But I cant put my finger on what it was,

Its just one of those nagging feelings,

Like sitting with your back to an open door

Waiting on a favourite stranger.



I find it hard to talk about, its not easy

As you might expect

Just sitting here waiting, trying to accept

That theres something missing,

That theres something not quite there

And thats why youre sitting there.

Listening to me as I try to explain that



Chorus: youre my favourite stranger

But dont read between the lines,

I could say that I love you at this moment

In passing time,

But I could honestly tell you

I dont know why Im here,

Sharing all my problems with you

When youve already got your own share,

From favourite strangers.



Maybe its just I need an audience to

Pretend its all an act,

But all I gain is your confidence

And a number in a filofax

On the terms that its a first name

Thatll run one day in split champagne

And Ill recollect and just accept

That you were one of my favourite strangers.



(chorus)



Sometimes I know I lost everything

In gaining something,

But I cant put my finger on what it was

Its just one of those nagging feelings

Like sitting with your back to an open door,

Expecting favourite strangers.
