The Stranglers - calling any fans to answer Q for me...

[iheartruby]

There are 3 Stranglers songs that I love and was wondering if there was an album on which all 3 appear:
Strange Little Girl
Better watch out for the schoolies
Golden Brown

And if No more heores and Peaches is on it too, all the better! I have found a greatest hits one but can't see schoolies on there.

Thanks

Never heard of the schoolies

I like a bit of London lady

Treat yourself to the Greatest Hits album, and listen to track 9. I think you will find the track you are thinking of is "Skin Deep" not "schoolies"

PMSL

i should have picked up on that lol

Hi iheartruby. Is 'Better watch out for the schoolies' definately the correct name of the song? I can't see it on any Stranglers album. I looked on itunes too and although it lists 150 songs, none of them are called that.

[iheartruby]

hi guys, i must be mistaken - either by the group who sing it or by the song title - i heard it last night and i ask someone was it the stranglers and they said yes! i seem to remember it from the 80s and that was in the chorus ...."better watch out for the schoolies..." any ideas folks??

[Reverandfunk]

Burger me Ruby

Iamblue has already told you the answer!!!

[iheartruby]

this guy mentions it too - but saying he got the lyrics wrong - i'm sure we can get to the bottom of this....

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 recieving the signals they send
Cos 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

Better watch out for the skin deep
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

Better watch out for the skin deep
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

(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
