[Intro]

[Verse 1]
I'd ask you to be in my radio play
There's just one small problem: you don't know who I am
I work in a pub, the nicer of the two
You come in on occasion, with your friends surrounding you

[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
I wonder if you would recognise me
Or am I just another face in a world with lots to see?
I wanna know, I wanna know

[Interlude]

[Refrain]
We were all strangers once
Oh, Octavia

[Interlude]

[Verse 3]
I'll write you a letter, post it by hand
It says "The borders of this village contain a searching man"
[Interlude]

[Refrain]
We were all strangers once
Oh, Octavia
We were all strangers once
Oh, Octavia
We were all strangers once
