Always The Sun - The Stranglers (1986)

how many times have you woken up and prayed for the rain?
how many times have you seen the papers apportion the blame?
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 lads have taken your money?
your mother said you shouldn't bet
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, mm (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 its not unlike the politicians and the leaders
when they do things by half
who gets the job of pushing the knob?
that's what responsibility you draw straws for
if you're mad enough

there's always the sun, mm (always the sun)
there's always the sun
always, always (always the sun)

there's always the sun, mm (always the sun)
there's always the sun
always, always (always the sun)

(solo)

there's always the sun, mm (always the sun)
there's always the sun
always, always (always the sun)

there's always the sun, mm (always the sun)
there's always the sun
always, always (always the sun)

Golden Brown - The Stranglers (1982)

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 the 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

never a frown (never a frown), never a frown
with golden brown (with golden brown), with golden brown

never a frown (never a frown), never a frown
with golden brown (with golden brown), with golden brown

never a frown (never a frown), never a frown
with golden brown (with golden brown), with golden brown

never a frown (never a frown), never a frown
with golden brown (with golden brown), with golden brown

Skin Deep - The Stranglers (1984)

many people tell you that they're your friend
you believe them, you need them for what's 'round the river bend
make sure that you're receiving the signals they send
'cause brother, you've only got two hands to lend

maybe there's someone who makes you weep
and some nights loom up ahead when you're asleep
some days there's things on your mind you should keep
sometimes, it's tougher to look than to leap

(ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) better watch out for the skin deep
(ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) better watch out for the skin deep
(better watch out) watch out for the skin deep
(better watch out) watch out for the skin deep
better watch out for the skin deep

one day the track that you're climbing gets steep
your emotions are frayed and your nerves are starting to creep
just remember the days as long as the time that you keep
brother, you better watch out for the skin deep

(ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) better watch out for the skin deep
(ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) better watch out for the skin deep
(better watch out) watch out for the skin deep
(better watch out) watch out for the skin deep
better watch out for the skin deep

(ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) better watch out for the skin deep
(ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) better watch out for the skin deep
(better watch out) watch out for the skin deep
(better watch out) watch out for the skin deep
better watch out for the skin deep
