(I'm) Stranded Lyrics
The Saints
Lyrics
Like a snake calling on the phone
I've got no time to be alone
There is someone coming at me all the time
Yeah babe I think I'll lose my mind
'Cause I'm stranded on my own
Stranded far from home, all right
I'm riding on a midnight train
And everybody looks just the same
A subway light it's dirty reflection
I'm lost babe I got no direction
And I'm stranded on my own
Stranded far from home, all right
Stranded - yeah I'm on my own
Stranded - I'm so far from home
Stranded - you gotta leave me alone
'Cause I'm stranded on my own, stranded far from home
Come on!
Look at me looking at you
There ain't a thing that I can do
You are lost, your mind is stuck in a whirl
Yeah honey such a stupid girl
Now I'm stranded on my own
Stranded far from home, come on
Stranded - yeah I'm on my own
Stranded - I'm so far from home
Stranded - you gotta leave me alone
'Cause I'm stranded on my own, stranded far from home
All right
Livin' in a world insane
They cut out some heart and some brain
Been filling it up with dirt
Yeah baby dunno how it hurts
To be stranded on your own
Stranded far from home, all right
Stranded - I'm so far from home
Stranded - yeah I'm on my own
Stranded - you got to leave me alone
Come on!
Stranded - I'm so far from home
Stranded - yeah I'm on my own
Stranded - you got to leave me alone
'Cause I'm stranded on my own
Stranded
Song & Lyrics Facts
The Saints' song "(I'm) Stranded" is a classic punk-rock anthem, released on their 1977 self-titled debut album. The Australian band was formed in Brisbane in 1974 by Chris Bailey (vocals and bass guitar), Ed Kuepper (guitar and vocals) and Ivor Hay (drums).
Written by Bailey and Kuepper with lyrics that express the feelings of alienation and despair common to many young people of the time, the song has become an iconic representation of the punk movement. It was released as a single in 1976 and reached number 4 in Australia and number 7 in New Zealand. The album was re-released in 2006 with bonus tracks including live versions of "(I'm) Stranded", "Erotic Neurotic" and "Messin' With The Kid". The original version of "(I'm) Stranded" still stands as one of the most beloved punk songs ever recorded, and its lyrics remain relevant today.
