@ARTIST: Stranglers, The @ALBUM: La Folie 1981 EMI music @SONG: NON STOP Dedicated emancipated Claims she waited her life for her man Loves to pray every day Says she's not frustrated in any way Dressed in a black cotton sack Pledges herself and she never looks back She's a non stop nun She's a non stop nun She's a non stop nun And she's running/running/running/running/running Enlisted sister knows her mister Never two times with the rest of the clan In her eyes you sympathise The afterlife holds a better plan She's a non stop nun She's a non stop nun She's a non stop nun And she gives up her whole life And she'll never be your wife 'Cos she;s got the best lover Better than any other Better than any other She's a non stop nun She's a non stop nun She's a non stop nun And she's running/running/running/running/running Dedicated emancipated Claims she waited her life for her man Loves to pray every day Says she's not frustrated in any way She's a non stop nun She's a non stop nun She's a non stop nun And she gives up her whole life And she'll never be your wife 'Cos she's got the best lover Better than any other Better than any other Better than any other @SONG: EVERYBODY LOVES YOU WHEN YOU'RE DEAD They crucify you when you get it wrong When things are fine they put you ahead They laugh at you with your trousers down They pick the stones and aim them at your head When you're alive they won't care what you said What you deserve and all the blood you bled It doesn't matter what you try to hide The sun comes out and then the truth is read Your fans'll love you when you're alive But the wreaths are laid by the rest instead When you're alive they won't care what you said What you deserve and all the blood you bled 'Cos everybody loves you when you're dead Kneel and pray by the side of your bed And everybody loves you when you're dead Kneel and pray just like your momma said When you're alive they won't care what you said What you deserve and all the blood you bled You'll turn in your grave at what's gonna be said You'll finally be appreciated 'Cos everybody loves you when you're dead 'Cos everybody loves you when you're dead @SONG: TRAMP Takes the time to stay one place Though his clothes aren't finest lace Read the lines on a tramp's face Taking his time just like you just like me Wandering so fancy free Searching for love in the call of the wild Travelling lost like a child Law has missed him every day Doesn't need it anyway Life is the next meal away A lost woman long ago Does she miss him does he know? Does it matter in the snow? Taking his time just like you just like me Wandering so fancy free Searching for love in the call of the wild Travelling lost like a child Taking his time just like you just like me Wandering so fancy free Searching for love in the call of the wild Travelling lost like a child @SONG: LET ME INTRODUCE YOU TO THE FAMILY I love the family Longer than longevity Mother tells me what to be Taller than the tallest tree I love the family Sister loves me tenderly Sitting on my daddy's knee Let me introduce you to the family I love the family/I love the family I love the family/I love the family I love the family/I love the family I love the family Friends will fall for the family Brother you are dear to me Watch it grow the family tree Can't outrun the family It gets me where I want to be Trough thick and thin it will help me Let me introduce you to the family I love the family/I love the family I love the family/I love the family I love the family/I love the family I love the family Repeat @SONG: AIN'T NOTHIN' TO IT Back up boy forty five feet Always looking for a freebie Why don't you let up sometime Hawks out here with his axe n' me with this lead sheet on Trying to scuffle up those two's n' fews For uncle so's I can bail out my full orchestration Looks like he got me but this cat wouldn't feed Grass to a horse in a concrete pasture He's so tight he wouldn't buy a pair of shorts for a flea Just look at him n' dig that vine All off tome his strollers look like he's ready to Jump he's playing ketchup n' I got to tighten his wig Hold it down n' I'll come up with line two like I said Ain't nothin' to it, just here Ain't nothin' to it, just here Ain't nothin' ain't nothin' to it just here I saw that dinner up the street guzzlin' foam in The drinkden and the sharks are droppin' the shucks Like the yellow kid trying to tighten her and Weaving the four f's all around her I nixed her out long ago, man, she's too sometimey She will and she won't She do and she don't always on the fence and Sleeps with her glasses on Man Man Ain't nothin' ain't nothin' to it just here She's faust to me, so skip it and forget it She's faust to me, so skip it and forget it @SONG: THE MAN THEY LOVE TO HATE They woke to grey English morning And to a strange honeymoon The girl who gave him all her love And the man who said it still wouldn't do His parents always worked hard Never went to bed late nd though they were God's own people They're still the ones he loves to hate He never wanted to Suffer this fate All the girls have fallen for The man they love to hate The city is an animal It snores and by day it roars And though he loved to hate it He couldn't live without it's flaws With pastel curtains moaning At a thousand harsh words - then hush The girl she wanted to leave Because she loved the man too much He never wanted to Suffer this fate All the girls have fallen for The man they love to hate His father was a fighter And he practised on his son His mother was just some furniture Who'd lost the will to run The girl she wrote him a farewell note And though he probably didn'y care too much The girl she finally left him Because she loved the man too much @SONG: PIN UP She's a centrespread special size of the month She's the one on the wall Watched by him she's scared to move She's very well known only in the one stance She's the girl that survived over a hundred million glances She's the pin up She's always on his mind a technicolor dream The secret weapon She lives on his locker door She's the girl he dreams of when he's at sea Although she's in 2-D he'd like her at home waiting She's the pin up She's the pin up All over submarines They think she's so serene As a mermaid she don't look much But such a sin could be this year's last year's thing She's a charity gives something for nothing A wallchart for his heart a victim of all his desires Sometimes he dreams of a scratch me scratch me section A rope ladder of hair a Babylon for him to climb She's the pin up She's the pin up All over submarines They think she's so serene As a mermaid she don't look much But such a sin could be this year's last year's thing She's a centrespread special size of the month She's the one on his wall Watched by him she's scared to move She's very well known always in the one stance She's the girl who'll survive over a hundred million glances She's the pin up She's the pin up Repeat @SONG: IT ONLY TAKES TWO TO TANGO It only takes two to tango It only takes two to start the dance You gotta begin with circumstance It takes two to tango It only takes two It only takes two to tango It only takes to to start the war You gotta make do or you gotta get more It take two to tango It only takes two It only took two in ancient history To get to the top of the monkey tree Better wait and see Better wait and see Better wait and see It only takes two to tango It only takes two to start the dance You gotta make do could be your only chance It takes two to tango It only takes two It only took two in ancient history To get to the top of the monkey tree Better wait and see Repeat @SONG: 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 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 With golden brown Never a frown With golden brown Repeat @SONG: HOW TO FIND TUE LOVE AND HAPPINESS IN THE PRESENT DAY Once I knew a man in love with money He said it solved his worries and his cares The one day I heard him say Something I hear everywhere Once I knew a man in love with power He bought a uniform and he kept it clean Then one day I heard him say There's something he's never seen Tell him how to find true love and happiness In the present day Tell him how to find true love and happiness In the present day Then I know a girl in love with living Didn't like to stay in one place long Then one day I heard her say She'd discovered something's wrong Tell her how to find true love and happiness In the present day Tell her how to find true love and happiness In the present day Repeat Tell him how to find true love and happiness In the present day (X 3) @SONG: LA FOLIE Bonsoir Ton vehicule n'a pas l`air d`avoir de passager Peux-tu: Veux tu me recevoir Sans trop te deranger? Mes bottes ne feront pas trop d`echos dans ton couloir Pas de bruit avec mes adieux Pas pour nous les moments perdus En attendant un uncertain au-revoir Parce que-j'ai la folie, oui c'est la folie Il etait une fois un etudiant Qui voulait fort, comme en literature Sa copine, elle etait si douce Qu'il pouvait presque, en la management Rejeter tous les vices Repousser tou les mals Detruire toutes beautes Qui par ailleurs, n'avait jamais ete ses complices Parces qu'il avait la folie, oui, c'est la folie Et si parfois l'on fait des confessions A qui les raconter - meme le bon dieu nous a laisse tomber Un autre endroit, une autre vie Eh oui, c'est une autre histoire Mais a qui tou raconter? Chez les ombres de la nuit? Au petit matin, au petit gris Combien de crimes ont ete commis Contre les mensonges et soi disant les lois du coeur Combien sont la a cause de la folie Parce qu'il ont la folie
