THE STRANGLERS - NICE 'N' SLEAZY

40 years on and The Stranglers are still one of the best live bands around.  The current Ruby tour sees them dipping into each one of their 17 albums and playing two hour sets.  Nice 'n' Sleazy below is taken from a 1978 Top of the Pops performance.

Song of the Week - The Stranglers - Don't Bring Harry

Harry and me we live in a dream
With a friend like him I don't need enemies

I don't know where morning is
It might not come today
That's the trouble when harry's around
He forces me to play

I should have refused to meet this midnight cheat
He likes to prey on my mind with his own special treat

I don't know when morning comes,
It might not come today.
Harry likes to play all night
I'll do what harry says

Don't bring harry I don't need him around
Don't bring harry I don't need him around

Ah you've met harry - I can see by your eyes
If once there was life there, now there's compromise

Harry is a beast of luxury
He just wants my body and soul - leaves the bones behind

Ah you've met harry - I can see by your eyes
If once there was action - Now there is no life

Don't bring harry I don't need him around
Don't bring harry I don't need him around
