Joe Jackson - Stranger Than You Lyrics
At a bar on 43rd at quarter to two
Met my friend the Chinese Elvis and hoisted a few
He talks like Mickey Mouse
And sees with x-ray eyes
Lives in a cardboard house
Until you
Came along - thanks for opening my eyes
Things you do - right or wrong
It should come as no surprise
When you live in a town where there's always somebody
Stranger than you
At 83rd and Amsterdam there's an Indian Jew
Who pierced all his private parts with a permanent screw
Which came from outer space
And in my taller tales
I gave him pride of place
Until you
Came along - thanks for opening my eyes
Things you do - right or wrong
It should come as no surprise
When you live in a town where there's always somebody stranger than you
Stranger than you
I'm not complaining even though I'm not sure what you are
I've got the strangest feeling (good) about this love bizarre
I could have stayed in bed
Hiding from this freaky show
I'm happy that instead
I knew just where to go
When you came along - thanks for opening my eyes
Things you do - right or wrong
It should come as no surprise
When you live in a town where there's always somebody
Stranger than you
Are you a boy - are you a girl
Are you an oyster - are you a pearl
Are you a fish - are you a fowl?
Are you an angel - are you from hell

Joe Jackson Stranger Than You Comments
He is gorgeous!
Love this song. Good memories.
'Hoisted a few' - simple yet brilliant lyric
Joe Jackson's best song in 20+ years - his songs you remember like it was yesterday - if not the best thing since sliced bread. Stranger Than You is Jackson's ace in the hole, larger than life, as good as the day is long. At the end of the day, unlike 90-plus percent of rock bands and blues players, Jackson is 110 percent cliché free and tells it like it is.
@G Dogg I agree with everything you say, man.
girl. oyster. fowl. hell.
I think I'm any oyster, I think I'm a girl, can't be a fish 'cause I'm too fowl.
are you a fish? olol
Are you a fowl?
This is a wonderful song.
This song is the nuts!!! Luv it!!!
