People are strange, when you're a stranger
Faces look ugly when you're alone
Women seem wicked when you're unwanted
Streets are uneven when you're down
When you're strange
Faces come out of the rain
When you're strange
No one remembers your name
When you're strange
When you're strange
When you're strange
People are strange, when you're a stranger
Faces look ugly when you're alone
Women seem wicked when you're unwanted
Streets are uneven when you're down
When you're strange
Faces come out of the rain
When you're strange
No one remembers your name
When you're strange
When you're strange
When you're strange
All right, yeah
When you're strange
Faces come out of the rain
When you're strange
No one remembers your name
When you're strange
When you're strange
When you're strange

| ziakut (Chicago, IL) | Posted: Oct 25, 2010 - 11:08 Those same strange people actually like this band. I'm baffled. Jim Morrison...an overrated lyricist and vocalist. Unique though...I'll give him that. No one in the world sounds like him. |

It's funny, because when I was younger, I had only heard Echo & the Bunnymen's version of this song, because all I listened to was college radio. Once I hit actually hit college, I started listening to older classic stuff & heard the original (and much better) version. Jim's great, but so are the rest of the band. Robby's guitar work is VERY underrated, in my opinion. Yeah, Jim even said Robby was great. I think that was after he punched Robbie in the eye, though.  Q - Didn't you appear with a black eye onstage at one point? What was that all about? A - Oh yeah. I got into a fight with Jim. They wanted to put makeup on, but I said no, maybe 20 years from now somebody will be interested and ask me about that. Q - Now there's a question you don't get asked too much. A - Believe it or not, that's one of the most asked questions, (laughs) Everybody always thinks I'll ask him about that. Somebody just asked me about that the other day. http://www.classicbands.com/RobbyKriegerInterview.html |

Maybe it's just that I feel like Morrison had read far too much of his own press... he released a lot of stuff that I think many others would have left on the cutting room floor. "Come on baby light my fire?" Please. Sorry, I don't get it. Shoot me now, I know I have blasphemed.  obviously you weren't around yet, but that's the way people talked then. I too, have always known that Morrison was shitty poet, but at least he had the guts to say what before had been kept silent. Tame by today's standards, but he was in serious trouble with the obscenity police. Killed him. Killed him. BTW "light my fire" was written by Robbie Krieger, guitar god. |

| madaxeman (Scottish west coast) | Posted: Dec 17, 2007 - 14:36 I've never rated The Doors, but I do like this song. |
| eastcoast | Posted: Oct 31, 2007 - 08:16 I've always like the lyrical content and melodies of this band...they definately had their own defined sound. |
| stevetheshoe (wayfaraway) | Posted: Sep 14, 2007 - 09:56 I like the Doors but thay are hardly the best rock band ever, that would be "The Masked Marauders". |

| crinky (New England) | Posted: Jul 09, 2007 - 12:18 I'm not much of a Doors fan but I do like the remixed "Strange Days" on the Thievery Corporation's "Versions". |
| meydele (Par la mer) | Posted: Jul 09, 2007 - 12:15 This is the only Doors song I can tolerate. |
| quesarah (Minneapolis, MN) | Posted: Jul 09, 2007 - 12:14 Thank you, thank you for following up Geo. Winston's somnolent "Crystal Ship" with real Doors. Am I Strange? You Betcha. |

sorry about the format...first post. I'll work on it. p.s. Hi y'all |
| oldviolin (Friend Good) | Posted: Oct 31, 2006 - 09:33 Aw come on Lar. It's in the mix. It's Halloween. It's The Doors. Ride the wave my man. Classic rock lives here too. It's all good. |
| chfLarry | Posted: Oct 31, 2006 - 09:27 I'm always a little bummed out when I hear a tune on rp that I can hear on any classic rock radio station Its just not why I tune in to RP |
| Cruithne3753 (Bristol, UK) | Posted: Oct 31, 2006 - 09:27 
Echo and the Bunnymen's version would get a  if it were here... their version has an extended instrumental break which ironically makes it even more "Doorsy"! |
| TobalMoreno (right behind you) | Posted: Oct 31, 2005 - 09:25 Everyone has to relax, the Doors are clearly the greatest band in the history of rock. Just gotta get away from the "best of"... Soft Parade, Ship of Fools, Wishful Sinful, Summer's Almost Gone, The Spy, The Ghost, Soul Kitchen, Tell All the People, Hyacinth House, The Wasp, Maggie M'Gill, Wintertime Love, Indian Summer, The Changeling, AND THE LIST GOES ON!  |

Jim Morrison's voice is bland at best. Unfortunately I own the best of which I bought under the assumption they may at least be a good band. However, I am yet to hear a doors song that could grip me.
