Stranger Than Love Lyrics

Somewhere...
There is a place for us
Somewhere...
There is a place for us
Somewhere...

This is stranger...
So much stranger than love
This is stranger...

Somewhere...
There is a place for us
Somewhere...

Stranger...
So much stranger than love
This is stranger...

Somewhere...
There is a place for us
Somewhere...
Over the borderline

They say that somewhere
There is a place for us
Take me that somewhere
Over the borderline

This is stranger...
So much stranger than love
This is stranger...
So much stranger than love

They say that somewhere...

Yes we'll run
Like the hunted deer
To that somewhere
Where there is a place for us

To that somewhere
Over the borderline...

We'll reach that somewhere...

Time is within you...
Shines through your eyes
Time is within you...
It shines through your eyes.

We'll kill the world's black letter lies

We'll find that somewhere...
Where there is a place for us
Somewhere
Over that borderline...

This is stranger...
So much stranger than love

This is stranger...

The Resistance of the Cell

As the Veneer of Democracy Starts to Fade

Hysteria

Somewhere...
There is a place for us
Somewhere...
There is a place for us
Somewhere...

This is stranger...
So much stranger than love
This is stranger...

Somewhere...
There is a place for us
Somewhere...

Stranger...
So much stranger than love
This is stranger...

Somewhere...
There is a place for us
Somewhere...
Over the borderline

They say that somewhere
There is a place for us
Take me that somewhere
Over the borderline

This is stranger...
So much stranger than love
This is stranger...
So much stranger than love

They say that somewhere...

Yes we'll run
Like the hunted deer
To that somewhere
Where there is a place for us

To that somewhere
Over the borderline...

We'll reach that somewhere...

Time is within you...
Shines through your eyes
Time is within you...
It shines through your eyes.

We'll kill the world's black letter lies

We'll find that somewhere...
Where there is a place for us
Somewhere 
Over that borderline...

This is stranger...
So much stranger than love

This is stranger...

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

This is one of those songs that is so much more than the lyrics written out would suggest. You can say that about a lot of songs, but here Mark's vocals and the use of Erik Satie quotes really bring out the yearning in this song, which is obviously about star-crossed lovers with no place to safely be together. I see it as something of a continuation of the Pop Group's Savage Sea, which is about the same subject.
