about

A dance-pop epic about the fact that you can never feel too lost or alone whilst you have great friends.

With an (admittedly) dreadful pun as the title!

Now with added explosions & orchestra hits!

lyrics

Feeling lonely? And like nobody could give a damn?
(YES!)
Well - you're wrong, you know
It may seem hopeless
But - well, yes, all right, it sometimes is!

When you're facing life's uncertainties
You can ALWAYS come and talk to me

And I swear I'll never turn you away..

(I'll never turn you away..)

Did they hurt you?
Leave you feeling like chewed up gum?
(Spat out, trampled on)
Just forget them!
And then get yourself straight down the pub!
(Where you know there'll be)

Friends, food & flowing wine
Tell me yours - I'll tell you mine

And we can both feel lonely (but not so alone..)

(I'll never turn you away..)

So we say "Goodbye", "so long" and
"Thanks for the chat"
Well, a friend in pain is a friend in need
And I'll do all that I can!

Though it won't change a single thing

I say

"Thank you for listening" : )

(I'll never turn you away..)

about

A Short Dark Stranger image

A Short Dark Stranger Leeds, UK

A Leeds based purveyor of pumping power pop!

80s / 90s style throbbing, crashingly catchy synth-pop epics with cathartic, heartfelt, emotionally honest, cynical yet wittily pithy, observational and self deprecatingly amusing lyrics.

Whew! That was a lot of adjectives!

Have a listen & if you like what you hear, why not support me by buying some tracks? You know it makes sense! ; ) ... more
