Joe Jackson - Strange Land Lyrics






Thought there was a right turn here
Turns out to be wrong
Thought there was a short cut there
Seems to be so long
I study the lines on the map
And the lines on my face
Am I out of time or out of place

Is this a brave stand
Or am I in danger
How are we supposed to know
When to stay or go
Is this a strange land
Or am I the stranger

Rainy Sunday afternoon
Looking for a toast
All the whisky's Japanese
The bars are full of ghosts
Here in the City of Light
I'm looking for a cave
Am I soul who can be saved

Is this a brave stand
Or am I in danger
How are we supposed to know
When to stay or go
Is this a strange land
Or am I the stranger

Is this a brave stand
Or am I in danger
How are we supposed to know
When to stay or go
Is this a strange land
Or am I the stranger

    Bravo à vous Mr. Joe Jackson. It makes me happy to hear this great voice and piano. Super génial. ça change de toutes les immondes variétoches insipides que l'on peut entendre sur les radios. (surtout en France où le bon goût a foutu le camp depuis des lustres...)

    I love all Joe Jackson songs. The new and the especially the old...in Montreal, I hope he will play my favorites, "Sunday Papers," for example. That means tabloids. And broadsheets. Big respect.

    This man's ability to bring emotion out of a keyboard defies words.

  26. S.... V....

    Hoping to go see him in Syracuse

  27. M.... M....

    Good to hear this man, as ever.

  28. M.... S....

    Wow I am floored. I loved Joe Jackson right up till Nght and Day. I tried to keep up with his body of work but I gravitated to other new artists because I just could find anything in his music that kept my attention. I still loved him for the first 4 or 5 albums But this record is simply a gem. This is a masterpiece. His best work since Night and Day. I am so glad he found his old self again. I am so proud of him. Something big must have happened in his life to bring so much emotion to his new music. Whomever this person is that passed away and is mentioned at the end of the new songs must have been a big influence. Thank you Joe for this amazing record.

  29. F.... C....

    B.... M....

    What songs would you suggest me to listen to from the Fast Forward record? I'm going through many of his music these days.

    B.... M....

    The title track is great. I love "So You Say", "Junkie Diva", "Blue Time", "Neon Rain" (pretty heavy for a Joe Jackson song), "Far Away", "Good Bye Johnny" and "If I Could See Your Face". Also "If It Wasn't For You". Great record.
