This is as far as I could get with the intro to Some Kind of Stranger.

| Movitz, I'm not sure this is such a beautiful love story. "Unknown footsteps", "my door is open wide" and "names are just for souveneirs" seem to suggest a tale of promiscuity. | |

| One of the other band members (can't remember who, too lazy to check!) wrote this as a more traditional love song which Eldritch promptly ruined by making it more about how he "wanted to sleep with every woman in the world." | |

| Oh, and I'm pretty sure that "Memories may last for years but/Names are just for souvenirs" is meant to imply that he's more interested in getting freaky than knowing what the person he's getting freaky with is called, since he'll look back on the freak-getting itself and not care what the co-freak getter was called. ...it's about bangin' broads! | |

| the change from "some kind of angel" into "some kind of strange" could a sign on the desperation in the need of love | |

| In the beginning verse I do think he's talking about an actual relationship he had.. one that mean something.. but promiscuity got in the way.. ..the first verse says 'lord i tried to say but i heard a million conversations going where they've been before'... as he was leaving, like he wanted to come clean or go along with the line of 'words got in the way', which usually implies lies or falsehood.. but thinking it useless that would continue but yet another arguement.. so he lingers undecided at the door.. shall he continue or leave? so basically the rest of the song would just conform to the dedication to pleasures of flesh, as teh chorus suggest.. He admits that faithfullness and promises are untrue in his world, but if you 'hold on tight to what you find you might not mind to much' , which is backed up by, " the memories (the ones you get from the ones you love) will last for years.. BUT names are JUST souveiners" still reflecting back on the first verse which implies a relationship that meant something, he starts going on, on these people who he's with he really doesn't care for their names, their stories.. and the line 'i can wait a long, long time before i hear another love song' placed at that point and the way he sings it, would suggest to me that these random people he doesn't want details about are just ways to avoid any real relationship again or to deal with real emotions, maybe because of hurt or bitterness.. this is left unknown.. the way angel is placed at first, it would seem that his door was opened wide looking for some sort of saviour from this to come in.. ..as the last just state stranger.... it would suggest to me a lost of hope.. and just giving in | |
