Found myself in a strange town
Though Ive only been here for three weeks now
Ive got blisters on my feet
Trying find a friend in oxford street
I bought an a to z guide book
Trying to find the clubs and ymcas
But when you ask in a strange town
They say dont know, dont care
And Ive got to go, mate
They worry themselves about feeling low
They worry themselves about the dreadful snow
They all ignore me cause they dont know
Im really a spaceman from those ufos
Youve got to move in a straight line
Youve got to walk and talk in four four time
You cant be weird in a strange town
Youll be betrayed by your accent and manners
Youve got to wear the right clothes
Be careful not to pick or scratch your nose
You cant be nice in a strange town
cause we dont know, dont care
And we got to go, man
Rush my money to the record shops
I stop off in a back street
Buy myself a snort
We got our own manifesto
Be kind to queers
And Im so glad the revolutions here
Its nice and warm now!
Ive finished with clubs where the musics loud
cause I dont see a face in a single crowd
Theres no one there
I look in the mirror
But I cant be seen
Just a thin, clean layer of mister sheen
Looking back at me
Oh, oh
Found myself in a strange town
Though Ive only been here for three weeks now
Ive got blisters on my feet
Trying find a friend in oxford street
I bought an a to z guide book
Trying to find the clubs and ymcas
They say dont know, dont care
And Ive got to go, mate
They worry themselves about feeling low
They worry themselves about the dreadful snow
They all ignore me cause they dont know
Im really a spaceman from those ufos
Strange town
Break it up
Burn it down, shake it up
Break it up
The lyrics STRANGE TOWN of THE JAM is also present in the album Snap! (1984)
The Jam sono una leggendaria band punk rock britannica formatasi nel 1976 a Woking, Surrey, grazie all'iniziativa del poliedrico Paul Weller. Influenzati da artisti come The Beatles, The Kinks e The Who, hanno saputo coniugare sonorità melodiche con un ritmo deciso e una carica punk che li ha resi uno dei gruppi più importanti della scena musicale britannica degli anni '70 e '80. La formazione originale, composta da Weller (chitarra, voce), Bruce Foxton (basso) e Rick Buckler (batteria), è rimasta costante durante i sei anni di attività del gruppo. I The Jam hanno pubblicato sette album in studio, tra cui il loro capolavoro "Sound Affects" (1980), che ha raggiunto la vetta delle classifiche britanniche. I brani più rappresentativi includono "Going Underground", "Town Called Malice", "The Eton Rifles" e "Start!" . Dopo lo scioglimento del gruppo nel 1982, Paul Weller ha continuato una carriera di successo come musicista solista, mentre Foxton e Buckler hanno intrapreso diverse collaborazioni musicali.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
