The Outfield

The Outfield are an English pop rock/power pop power trio based in London, England. The Outfield are unusual for a British band in that they enjoyed commercial success in the U.S., but never enjoyed a similar success in their homeland. They began recording during the mid-1980s, and they released their first album, Play Deep, in 1985 through Columbia Records. The album reached No. 9 on the Billboard 200 list and then reached triple platinum in America. Their single "Your Love" reached No. 6 on the Billboard Hot 100 as well as No. 7 on the Mainstream Rock chart, and it became their signature song. It went on to be featured in a number of 80s-themed compilation albums, and over 1,000 covers and remixes by other artists have been released physically and/or online… more »

I still remember what I saw last night 
Three small kids stealing money from a poor man 
Now that ain`t right no that ain`t right 
I`m still thinking `bout the things I heard 
Poor old man - he was frightened and afraid of every word 
And it`s all so absurd 

But times are changing now an d I still care 
There must be something we can do out there 
I`m like a stranger in my own town baby 
I`m like a stranger in my own town baby 

I keep on walkin` through these run down streets 
Graffiti walls this ain`t nothing like it used to be 
Not for you or for me 
This town`s never been so down before 
Looks like a photograph - someone mighta taken in 
the second world war 
Oh but what was that for 

So many people gave their lives for this 
There`s nothing left for us to reminisce 
I`m like a stranger in my own town baby 
I`m like a stranger in my own town baby 

When those sad days were over 
I`m sure they all thought that weld won 
But now as I look around 
We`re still invaded by everyone 

Things won`t ever be the same again 
I`ve not lost a town I`ve lost my only friend 
Oh but where does it end 
We`ll never change these times with good intent 
But right now I know I don`t feel content 

I`m like a stranger in my own town baby 
I`m like a stranger in my own town baby
