The Stranglers - Golden Brown ..... ....... ....... Texture Like Sun

[SNoraWotzThat]

youtube Golden Brown, The Stranglers Haven't heard this for years.

Summery, hazy days of 80's......la la la la, very pop mainstream, but you have to love it.

It was released as a 7" single in January 1982

7" single - lol

I used to love that song, you really need to hear it with headphones on though, it sounds so much better.

It was about heroin, wasn't it?

never a frown.
that's golden brown.
heroin? or cannabis?

wouldn't call it pop mainstream, really.

Nothing else like it.

love Omar's version too, beautiful song.

lovely song.

I heard No More Heroes fairly recently as well, and forgot what a great tune that is. Makes me want to leap up and dance every time!

We had Rattus Norvegicus in the car a few weeks ago. Sadly, I had to remove it because the DCs were starting to pick up the lyrics of Peaches, and were singing them in Sainsbury's!

lol, ImPink!

DD(3) sings 'Pimper's Paradise' by Damian Marley very sweetly.

DD's classic howler -she thought Gordon Brown was a song by the Stranglers.....

I used to think it would be a good campaign song for Gordon Brown!

Texture like...?

i couldn't think of that - just the "Never a frown" line
Ironic cos he is always frowning!

So he should!!

OK
"Gordon Brown

lays me down, with my taxes he runs
throughout the night
no need to fight
always a frown
with GB"

Gordon Brown
Once Tony's chum
etc!

Gordon Brown
Once Tony's chum
Wears me down
with my taxes he runs
Into the night
No end in sight
Always a frown
with Gordon Brown!

lol
Very good with Gordon Brown

wiki - called it pop mainstream
