Whereare you going I don't mind
I've killed my world andI've killed my time
Sowhere do I go what do I see
I see many people comingafter me
Sowhere are you going to I don't mind
If I live too long I'mafraid I'll die
So Iwill follow you wherever you go
If your offered hand isstill open to me
Strangerson this road we are on
We are not two we are one
Soyou've been where I've just come
From the land that bringslosers on
So wewill share this road we walk
And mind our mouths andbeware our talk
'Tillpeace we find tell you what I'll do
All the things I own Iwill share with you
If Ifeel tomorrow like I feel today
We'll take what we wantand give the rest away
Strangerson this road we are on
We are not two we are one
Holyman and holy priest
This love of life makesme weak at my knees
Andwhen we get there make your play
'Cos soon I feel you'regonna carry us away
In apromised lie you made us believe
For many men there is somuch grief
And mymind is proud but it aches with rage
And if I live too longI'm afraid I'll die
Strangerson this road we are on
We are not two we are one
Strangerson this road we are on
We are not two we are one

Strangers (link): This is one of Dave Davies' best songs andoriginally appeared as the second song on the first side of Lola Versus PowermanAnd The Monegoround, Part One (Kinks, 1970), where it supplements (and in some wayscompletes) the album's psycho-autobiography research effort. Strangers is the face side of a coin displaying on its reverse Mean Disposition (link).
