The Saints - I’m Stranded 7″
April 11th, 2007 by The Flakes // Drummer
In my world the Ramones - Blitzkrieg Bop was the first punk 7inch released in June(?) 1976
. Then these sleazy aussie guys hit the world in August 1976 with this. One of my all time faves. Can’t listen to I’m Stranded enough. 500 pressed on their own Fatal label before Harvest signed them and quickly released it again with a sleeve. My copy is scratchy and nice.
By the way I haven’t figured out who’ve written the stuff on the b-side. Anyone?
Now over to some real content:
Like a snake calling on the phone
I’ve got no time to be alone
there is some one coming at me all the time
babe I think I’ll lose my mind
’cause I’m stranded on my own
stranded far from home
I’m riding on a midnight train
& everybody looks just the same
a subway light it’s dirty reflection
I’m lost I don’t have a direction
I’m stranded etc etc
Look at me looking at you
there ain’t a thing that I can do
you are lost your mind is a whirl
baby such a stupid girl
I’m stranded etc etc
Livin’ in a world insane
they cut out some heart & some brain
‘been filling it up with dirt
do you know how much it hurts…
to be…stranded etc….
Stranded I’m so far from home
Stranded yeah I am on my own
Stranded why don’t you leave me alone
