Total Stranger

"Total Stranger" is a song from the fifth album "Fan the Flame (Part 1)" of the music band Dead or Alive.

## Description

The song has a slightly daring lyrics. Basically try that the person who likes most prefers to be with someone else, with a total stranger. Therefore he can not stand that, he feels jealous and he does not support lies, not even infidelity.

## Single & Music Video Cancelled

Originally, the band intended to publish the song as a single, but nothing came back. It was going to be the second single of the album, but that project was canceled, only a remix was made included in the single "Unhappy Birthday".

Likewise, a music video for the song was being recorded, which was to be the continuation of the video of "Your Sweetness (Is Your Weakness)" (in which parts of the video show short scenes of what was going to be the music video for "Total Stranger"). The video was incinerated, until in 2015 a user uploaded to YouTube several scenes recorded on a VHS of the canceled video.

Finally it was going to be part of a compilation album of Greatest Hits, but it was also canceled.

As an extra curious fact, Pete told in an interview that this song planned to be reworked for the album "Nukleopatra" (a remix), but what they did was to be inspired by some sounds of the song to create the song "I'm a Star. "

## Lyrics:

*Written by P. Burns, S. Coy and P. Oxendale*

It's funny, with you
I really felt secure

Because I wanted to

Who is zoomin' who

But I really must explain

That I can't hide the pain

When you enjoy yourself

With someone else

But there's one thing

That you should know about me

That I can't stand the lies

That I can't take the infidelity

I know you've been seeing

A total stranger
(A total stranger)
All the love we built
Has been tumbled down
'Cause of a total stranger
A total stranger
I know (I know)
You've been seeing
A total stranger
(A total stranger)
Everything we had
Has been thrown away
'Cause of a total stranger
A total stranger

What's good for you
Is good for me, too
And I've had enough
Of your lying
Enough is enough
I've taken to much
You've made your mistake
Now you're crying

You better beware
When I come to town
I'm gonna paint it so red
You'll think it's burning down
That's how I got my name
(How I got my name)
And some things never change
And so I'm going home
Into the party zone

But there's one thing
You've got to know about me
That I can't stand the lies
That I can't take the infidelity

And I know you've been seeing
A total stranger
(A total stranger)
All the love we built
Has been thrown away
'Cause of a total stranger
A total stranger
I know, I know
You've been seeing
A total stranger
A total stranger
Boom, boom
With a total stranger
A total stranger

What has been done
Should never have been
You were just headed for heartbreak
I won't pretend
That I'll be your friend
You pay for mistakes

Now I know your game
I know what must be done
I'm gonna fan the flame
You will remember my name

Oh baby, I know
You've been seeing
A total stranger
In the boom-boom room
With a total stranger
A total stranger

And all of the time
That you were out all night
Well, I already knew
It was me who's fooling you

And I know you've been seeing
A total stranger
(A total stranger)
All the love we built
Has been thrown away
'Cause of a total stranger
A total stranger
I know, I know
You've been seeing
A total stranger
(A total stranger)
Boom, boom
With a total stranger
A total stranger

I know what you've been doing
With a total stranger
(A total stranger)
Everything we had
Has been thrown away
But it was me who was fooling you

Now, baby, and I know
I'm gonna, I'm gonna fan that flame
Because I'm goin' home
To the party zone

I know, I know, I know, I know
You've been seeing
A total stranger
(A total stranger)
Everything we had
Has been thrown away
And so I'm goin' home
To the party zone

And that's how I got my name
(How I got my name)
I'm gonna fan that flame
(Gonna fan that flame)
I know your game
So I know what must be done
But I was foolin' you
