Stranglers - Walk On By
If You See Me Walking Down The Streets
And I Start To Cry Each Time We Meet
Walk On By
Ah, Walk On By
And Make Believe
That I Can't See The Tears
Now Let Me Grieve In Private
Cos Each Time I See You
I Just Want To Cry
Walk On By
Walk On By
Walk On By
I Just Can't Get Over Losing You
And So If I Seem So Broken In Pieces
Walk On By
Ah, Walk On By
And Foolish Pride
If I Can't See The Tears
And Let Me Hide All The Tears
And The Saddness You Gave Me
When You Said Goodbye
Walk On By
Walk On By
Walk On By
Just Go For A Stroll In The Trees
Walk On By
Ah, Walk On By
And Make Believe
That I Can't See The Tears
Now Let Me Grieve In Private
Cos Each Time I See You
I Just Want To Cry
Walk On By
Walk On By

Let me down easy, let me down easy
Let me down easy, let me down easy
When I rest my weary head after all the words are said
When my eyelids close with the weight of a hundred years
Please let me down easy, let me down easy
My boat can slip away into a calmer sea, let me down easy
I know there'll be nothing to fear
Let me down easy, let me down easy
Let me down easy, let me down easy
My body slips away out into weightlessness, let me down easy
Now I know that there's nothing to fear
Let me down easy, let me down easy
Let me down easy, let me down easy
When I rest my aching heart, after it's been torn apart
When my tears have flowed on the tide of a hundred seas
Please let me down easy, let me down easy
Affection slips away into my memory, let me down easy
There's a better time waiting for me
Let me down easy, let me down easy
Let me down easy, let me down easy

Stranglers - Cruel Garden
Better Get Out Of The Woods Today
Plenty Danger Waiting There
Plenty Hungry Madames Out Today
Eat You Up As Soon As Stare
Cruel Garden
Cruel Garden
Birds Of Prey Are On The Wing
Cruel Garden
Cruel Garden
Hope I Can Survive The Spring
If You're Walking In The Woods Tonight
Watch Out For A Madames Eyes
One Jumped Up and Grabed Me What A Fright
Said that I Was Just Her Size
Cruel Garden
Cruel Garden
Birds Of Prey Are On The Wing
Cruel Garden
Cruel Garden
Hope I Can Survive The Spring
Oh Oh Oh OhOh Gotta Get Home In The Light
Oh Oh Oh OhOh Shouldn't Be Down Here At Night
Cruel Garden
Cruel Garden
Birds Of Prey Are On The Wing
Cruel Garden
Cruel Garden
Hope I Can Survive The Spring
Oh Oh Oh OhOh Gotta Get Home In The Light
Oh Oh Oh OhOh Shouldn't Be Down Here At Night

| European Female | |
|
I knew she was a feline
She moved with ease and grace
Her green eyes they held mystery
No emotion on her face
The european female she's here
She speaks her lips are kissing
The air around her face
I don't always understand her
I love her air and grace
The european female she's here
The european female's here
We'll be together for a thousand years
And do you really fear
That you might fall?
I saw her in the Strasse
And in the Rue as well
Persued her in the high street
She had me in her spell
The european female she's here
Chorus
Keyboard solo
Chorus
Repeat Chorus until fade

Stranglers - Always The Sun
How Many Times Have You Woken Up And Prayed For The Rain?
How Many Times Have You Seen The Papers Apportion To Blame?
And Who Gets To Say?
Who Gets To Work And Who Gets To Play?
I Was Always Told At School Everybody Should Get The Same
How Many Times Have You Been Told If You Don't Ask You Don't Get?
How Many Liars Have Taken Your Money? Your Mother Said You Shouldn't Bet
But Who Has The Fun?
Is It Always A Man With A Gun?
Someone Must Have Told You If You Work Too Hard You Can Sweat
There's Always The Sun
There's Always The Sun
Always, Always, Always The Sun
How Many Times Have The Weathermen Told You Stories That Made You Laugh?
You Know it's Not Unlike The Politicions And The Leaders When They Do Things By Half
And Who Gets The Job?
Of Pushing The Knob
That Sort Of Responsibility You Draw Straws For If You're Mad Enough
There's Always The Sun
There's Always The Sun
Always, Always, Always The Sun...

Stranglers - Strange Little Girl
One Day You See A Strange Little Girl Look At You
One Day You See A Strange Little Girl Feeling Blue
She'd Run To The Town One Day
Leaving Home And Her Country Fair
Just Beware
When You're There
Strange Little Girl
She Didn't Know How To Live In a Town That Was Rough
It Didn't Take Long Before She Knew She Had Enough
Walking Home In Her Wrapped Up World
She Survived But She's Feeling Old
Cos She Found
All Things Cold
Strange Little Girl
Where Are You Going?
Strange Little Girl
Where Are You Going?
Do You Know Where You Could Be Going?
Walking Home In Her Wrapped Up World
She Survived But She's Feeling Old
Cos She Found
All Things Cold
Strange Little Girl
Where Are You Going?
Strange Little Girl
Where Are You Going?
Do You Know Where You Could Be Going?
Strange Little Girl
Where Are You Going?
Strange Little Girl
Where Are You Going?
Do You Know Where You Could Be Going?

Stranglers - Princess Of The Streets
She's Gone And Left Me
I Don't Know Why
That Girl She's Crazy
She Made Me Cry
She's Gone And Left Me
I Don't Know Why
Yeah She's The Queen Of The Street
What A Piece Of Meat
She's Real Good Looking
She Makes Me Sigh
Blue Jeans And Leather
Her Heels Are High
She's Real Good Looking
She Makes Me Sigh
Yeah She's The Queen Of The Street
What A Special Treat
She's No Lady
She'll Stab You In The Back
She's No Lady
She's Princess Of The Pack
With Words Of Fire
She'll Make You Small
With Eyes That Smile
She'll Make You Tall
With Words Of Fire
She'll Make You Small
But You Would Rather Wait A Year
Till She Gave You A Call
She's Gone And Left Me
I Don't Know Why
That Girl She's Crazy
She Made Me Cry
She's Gone And Left Me
I Don't Know Why
But She's The Queen Of The Street
What A Piece Of Meat
She's No Lady
She'll Stab You In The Back
She's No Lady
She's Princess Of The Pack

Stranglers - Golden Brown
Golden Brown
Texture Like Sun
Lays Me Down
With My Mind She Runs
Throughout The Night
No Need To Fight
Never A Frown
With Golden Brown
Every Time
Just Like The Last
On Her Ship
Tied To Her Mast
To Distant Lands
Takes Both My Hands
Never A Frown
With Golden Brown
Golden Brown
Finer Temptress
Through The Ages
She's Heading West
From Far Away
Stays For a Day
Never A Frown
With Golden Brown

Stranglers - Old Codger
What An Old Codger I Am
What An Old Codger I Am
What An Old Codger I Am
What An Old Codger I Am
What An Old Codger I Am
What An Old Codger I Am
Communion's Got A Lot Of Grace
It's Got Style And Bread And Wine
But They're Not Mine
You Know What I Like
What An Old Codger I Am
What An Old Codger I Am
What An Old Codger I Am
What An Old Codger I Am
What An Old Codger I Am
What An Old Codger I Am
I May Be Long In Tooth And Jaw
But I've Got A Lot Of Nerve
When It Comes To An Angel Boy
Pray For Me
What An Old Codger I Am
What An Old Codger I Am
What An Old Codger I Am
What An Old Codger I Am
What An Old Codger I Am
What An Old Codger I Am
When The Choir Is Singing In The Aisles
And The Moon Comes Over The Steeple
I Might Just Turn Into A Bol-Weevil
And Creep Up On You With My Beef-Jerky
Hey Baby
We're Gonna Shave 'Em Dry
You Don't Know What To Shave 'Em Dry Is?
You'll Learn
Mmmm That's Good That's Good
Yeah That's Very Good
Just Close Your Eyes Baby And Think Of England
Well Why Not? I Always Keep My Socks On
