Elvis Costello Lyrics for Song: Stranger In The House
 Lyrics for Album: 2 1/2 Years [1993]
 
 
 
 22317>This never was one of the great romances
 
 But I thought you'd always have those young girl's eyes
 
 But now they look in tired and bitter glances
 
 At the ghost of a man who walks 'round in my disguise
 
 I get the feeling that I don't belong here
 
 But there's no welcome in the window anyway
 
 And I look down for a number on my keychain
 
 'Cause it feels more like a hotel everyday
 
 
 
 There's a stranger in the house; nobody's seen his face
 
 But everybody says he's taken my place
 
 There's a stranger in the house no one will ever see
 
 But everybody says he looks like me
 
 
 
 And now you say you've got no expectations
 
 But I know you also miss those carefree days
 
 And for all the angry words that passed between us
 
 You still don't understand me when I say
 
 
 
 There's a stranger in the house; nobody's seen his face
 
 But everybody says he's taken my place
 
 There's a stranger in the house no one will ever see
 
 But everybody says he looks like me
 
 22317>
