Stranger In A Strange Land

3 Juli 2008 8 Komentar

Ini adalah lagu kesembilan di album kedua U2, October.
Judul lagu ini diambil dari judul buku Robert Heinlein dan boleh dibilang ini adalah lagu yang tidak mengumbar iman kristiani Bono, The Edge dan
Larry Mullen Jr, khususnya pada album ini.
Konon, Bono menuliskan lagu ini untuk mengisahkan U2 ketika masuk ke Berlin dari arah Jerman Timur. Waktu itu Jerman masih terbagi dua, Jerman Barat dan Jerman Timur.

Lagu yang tercatat baru pertama kali dimainkan secara live yaitu di Vorst National, Brussels Belgia pada 28 Oktober 1984 ini menurutku adalah lagu awal yang dijadikan U2 untuk mengangkat
isu politik dan perdamaian dunia.

Berikut ini adalah lirik lengkapnya:

Stranger In A Strange Land

Stranger
Stranger in a stange land
He looked at me like I
Was the one who should run
We asked him to smile for a
photograph
Waited a while to see if we could
Make him laugh

A soldier asked for a cigarette
His smiling face I cant forget
He looked like you across the street
But thats a long way here

And I wish you were here
And I wish you were here

Stranger
A stranger in a strange land
He look at me like I
Was the one who should run
I watched as he watched us
Get back on the bus
I watched the way it was
The way it was when he was with us

And I really dont mind
Sleeping on the floor
But I couldnt sleep after what I saw
I wrote this letter to tell you
The way I feel

I wish you were here
I wish you were here
To see what I could see
To hear
And I wish you were here
