Favourite stranger

(dick/usher)

Some times I feel I lost something
In gaining everything,
But I cant put my finger on what it was,
Its just one of those nagging feelings,
Like sitting with your back to an open door
Waiting on a favourite stranger.

I find it hard to talk about, its not easy
As you might expect
Just sitting here waiting, trying to accept
That theres something missing,
That theres something not quite there
And thats why youre sitting there.
Listening to me as I try to explain that

Chorus: youre my favourite stranger
But dont read between the lines,
I could say that I love you at this moment
In passing time,
But I could honestly tell you
I dont know why Im here,
Sharing all my problems with you
When youve already got your own share,
From favourite strangers.

Maybe its just I need an audience to
Pretend its all an act,
But all I gain is your confidence
And a number in a filofax
On the terms that its a first name
Thatll run one day in split champagne
And Ill recollect and just accept
That you were one of my favourite strangers.

(chorus)

Sometimes I know I lost everything
In gaining something,
But I cant put my finger on what it was
Its just one of those nagging feelings
Like sitting with your back to an open door,
Expecting favourite strangers.
