Some Kind Of Stranger (Early)

Got any interesting thoughts on a set of lyrics? Any that don't involve the word "indeed"? Find yourself struggling to decipher all those obtuse references Von makes? Read "1959 And All That" and still no clearer? Nope, us neither. Postcards found lying in a skip around the back of the Chemists can be found here... Don't say you weren't warned.

Bloody great instrumental

In England in the morning
I haven't slept for days
I haven't kept the promise made

And I know the world is cold but
If you hold on tight to what you find
You might not mind too much though
Even this must pass away
And memories may last for years
But names are just for souvenirs

Let me Look into your eyes

And I don't care what you're called
Tell me later if at all
I can wait a long, long time
Before I hear another love song
Don't give me whys and wherefores
Reason for surprise
I don't care for words that don't belong

Come here I think you're beautiful
My door is open wide
Some kind of stranger come inside

I think you're beautiful
I think you're beautiful
I think you're beautiful, angel come inside

I think you're beautiful
My door is open wide
Some kind of stranger come inside

I think you're beautiful
My door is open wide
Some kind of stranger come inside

I think you're beautiful
My door is open wide
Some kind of stranger come inside

I think you're beautiful
My door is open wide
Some kind of stranger come inside

I think, I think you're beautiful
Some kind of stranger come inside

I think you're beautiful
My door is open wide
Some kind of stranger come inside

Come here I think you're beautiful
I think you're beautiful
Some kind of stranger come inside

Come here I think you're beautiful
Come here I think you're beautiful
Come here I think you're beautiful
Angel come inside

I think you're beautiful
I think you're beautiful
Some kind of angel come inside

Come here I think you're beautiful
My door is open wide
Some kind of stranger come inside

Come here I think you're beautiful
I think you're beautiful, beautiful
Some kind of angel come inside

Come here I think you're beautiful
My door is open wide
Some kind of angel come inside

Come here I think you're beautiful
I think you're beautiful, beautiful
Some kind of stranger come inside

One extra verse.
If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.

That song was one of the subjects at Eldo´s spontaneous reediting night, I presume?

Where the demos lyrics start is pretty much where i think the album version really starts to pick up. Without those first parts of the song it sounds more like a heartland era tune rather then anything on FALAA and, quite frankly, thats how i want it.

The song needs to be beaten proper, instead of the albums consistent guitar twangling. It deserves it.

What *is* going on with that ghastly guitar wailing in the background? It sounds like a very small dog whining. Did :von: sit on a puppy?

This is one of my favourite song by The Sisters, I think that the raw and unrefined sound melds with the descent into the depraved chanting of the 'Come here I think you're beautiful' perfectly. But that's just me, and I do agree the the guitars don't sound that very good. Further, I believe that AE would likely slap me and walk away if I said this to him. Haha.

The first line sounds to me like "From England in the morning.

Could be wrong though

I love evrything about this song, I wouldn't change anything from the original version.
I love the guitars through the whole song (Sorry EB), it is a masterpiece in my ears and always will be.

My understanding on the theme of it is either a one-night-stand (or even maybe just a brief meeting) that didn't work out or develop further
"And yes I belive in what we had, but words got in the way"
They found out that they weren't going to be compatible longterm.

She's explaining to him why they wouldn't work together, but he doesn't want to hear that,
"Don't give me why's and wherefores, or reasons for surprise, I don't care for words that don't belong".

Or it was wishful thinking,
"Come here I think you're beautiful, my door is open wide, some kind of stranger come inside"
He's seen someone who he'd like to have a relationship with and he's hoping she feels the same.

Just my thoughts on it.

I don't think he's interested in it working out. He's not even interested in her name. He just wants comfort in one night with a beautiful stranger.
Any more of that and we'll be round your front door with the quick-setting whitewash and the shaved monkey.

YEAH! I noticed too. I love to have this demo, but "that" sound really kills it. It just keeps whining in the back ground. Try it with headphones!! :urff:

Personally I think the particular tone on that wailing guitar as he sings "before I hear another love song" is sublime, just sublime.
