Adam Ant - Here Comes The Grump Lyrics
When you get a number one
The only way is down
And if you have a sticky patch
They start looking, start looking around
Take what you want, what you want
What you want, what you want
And throw the rest away
In the night when things go bump
Think of me, think of me (here comes the grump)
Think of me, think of me (here comes the grump)
Think of me, think of me
Here comes the grump
So come inside, come inside
Come inside, come inside
Come inside and die
When you get a number one
The only way is down
And if you have a sticky patch
They start looking, start looking around
In the night when things go bump
Think of me, think of me (here comes the grump)
Think of me, think of me (here comes the grump)
Think of me, think of me
Here comes the grump

Adam Ant Here Comes The Grump Comments
Really stands apart from the other songs on the album. The most downbeat and only song in "English". Marco's sound suits it perfectly
Am I the only one here below 40? I'm 14 years old.
How sweet is the outro? Skills...
Love It! I think I was 12 and dressed up as Adam Ant for Halloween! :)
Brings back so many memories of listening to him growing up. My oldest sister was obsessed and still is 35 years later. She just saw him last night in Chicago! She will love him until the day she dies, I am pretty certain. I am glad she introduced me to his music because it instantly puts me into the best mood.
Think of me
Astoundingly good looking human (I mean, just look at him. He is beautiful whatever your sexuality - he just IS attractive) who couldn't handle it.
Love Marco’s guitar on this
A great song off one of my all time favorite albums!
This sound will resurface again, but when it does few will know where it came from.
... My hearth is always playing like 2 drums when i pump this hit... Tks Ant
Das war ein jeead talkingheadsisapper oas!
schazileinheutauchnoch???? Befürchte es werden nur die spieler getauscht! HUKERSWAS LEIKEVERIMMASCHO!mercy

Always one of my favourite tracks from the album
Great tune -
in my head all day yesterday
LYRICS:When you get a number one
The only way is down
And if you have a sticky patch
They start looking, start looking around
Listen close to what men say
Take what you want, what you want
What you want, what you want
And throw the rest away
In the night when things go bump
Think of me, think of me (here comes the grump)
Think of me, think of me (here comes the grump)
Think of me, think of me
Here comes the grump
Doctors said "Adam, sex kills"
So come inside, come inside
Come inside, come inside
Come inside and die
When you get a number one
The only way is down
And if you have a sticky patch
They start looking, start looking around
In the night when things go bump
Think of me, think of me (here comes the grump)
Think of me, think of me (here comes the grump)
Think of me, think of me
Here comes the grump
Dumb sex kills*
I totally fell in love with this song!!
Adam Ant 2019 tour: Doing the whole, "Friend or Foe" Album, and some other great surprise tunes.....Sept 28th, 2019 Capitol Theater, Clearwater Fla. I can hardly wait. The 2018 Tour, was Fantastic!!
Seeing him Sept 19 here in NYC.
What a great song , can't beat the 80 s , I wish they were here again .
An update to my previous post 'Every time I hear this I go from being 48 to 14 instantly.' - I'm now 50 Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh S&@t
What a great song , I miss them .
Me too (maybe now 50 to 16)
I love this song. Adam Ant is one of my favorite singer and the Ants are a hot band. I do care for the current lineup but this one was just hot. . .
Reminds me of making out in my car when I was in high school
ein Kanon!!!! I love it!!! Encore! Encore! of course!!!!
things that go bump ... im 55 .. but feel like 19 when i hear this...
They start loookin round. Lov it,
i think he had that sticky patch
Good song: good album: I saw it live, at the Arlington theatre, in Santa Barbara, CA.. INXS opened: they were promoting their album "Shaboo Shabaa."
Doctors say, "Adam, sex kills." So come inside and die. Best lyric ever!
I only discovered this one recently! I'm a fan from the 1980's! Love this one! Had to listen to it a three times! Yeah!!!
Remember buying the Friend Or Foe album from Woolworths in 1982 Hard to believe it was so long ago...
ouch i forgot, i forgot, . . . this song for 40 years...
Played it on the Radio yesterday got a call in about a Grumpy Guy in a Office who was always Grumpy so i gave this a blast and the Reaction was Brilliant
People asking for the name of the Track and were can they get this Track.
As a freshman in school, my friends older sister gave me this on cassette. Now 49, I go back to 15 in a moment. The early 80's. AHhh.....
The perfect song for the movie
The fickle nature of the music 'business' as told by one who's been right up there and nowhere.
Direct nick from the Danger Man theme - a good nick though :)
Zsémbes morogj (Hungarian translation)
Felértél, a csúcson vagy
Az út már nincs tovább
A sors ha rajtad
Csorbát ejt
Majd néznek más
Néznek más után
Felértél, a csúcson vagy
Az út már nincs tovább
A sors ha rajtad
Csorbát ejt
Majd néznek más
Néznek más után
Figyeld jól a széljárást
Tán hasznot hoz, hasznot hoz
Hasznot hoz, hasznot hoz
S vesd a többit el
Figyeld jól a szél járást

Friend or Foe is such a great album! Such a great song!!
We'll he's got it all and still has when I saw him in London last yr
Funny... you get to a certain age!!!..
I'm there
One of the Greatests
Quintessential Marco guitar on this.
I often think of The Good, the Bad and the Ugly and other spaghetti westerns when I hear Marco play. Love it!
Yes yes yes :-)
you posted a song about me? :P
Live in NZ ! 10th of October in Wellington ! Who's going as well ?
Doctors say Adam sex kills!!! So come inside!! ...... legend!!
This album has a special place in my life.
After his previous releases in which he created momentum and a larger than life character based on his tastes, intellect and demeanor...FOF feels linked to statement.
Kings: We are Touched with Fire
PC: Art is our aura.
FOF.. It all has a price. we might use it as medicine.
"Here comes the grump" has power of boosting my joy. no matter when.
I bought the album for "Goody Two Shoes" and this song instantly became my favorite off the album.
Greg Scott GTS is a little overrated (compared to his other songs)
Love love love Adam Ant 🖤
I'm such an avid Adam Ant fan, and Marco Pirroni was such a factor to his sound
Marco is brilliant.
But all those no1's Adam.
Marco is a GENIUS
Yes he is.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE THAT SONG!!!!!!!! MAKES ALL MY PROBLEMS DISAPPEAR!!!!!
Me too Benj.
Hands down... this is his best. Great melody, great lyrics and, as always, Marco makes everything sound beautifully spooky. Love this man.
Omg loved this one! Lyrics are great!
Every time I hear this I go from being 48 to 14 instantly.
Plenty of gold music there - keep digging!
Reply to self: I'm now 50 - AHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!
Awww damn George Orwell.....2 years later and I sit here saying the same thing....I feel 14 again listening to this, not 48.
I feel the same..except I was 16. I have tickets to see him in Philly this Friday....finally! Been listening a lot to the old stuff again.
(and familiarizing myself with the more recent stuff) . It amazes me how the lyrics stay with you forever....just pop right back into your head as soon as the music starts!
Great track!
Genius... YES. This is an Adam Ant top 5!
I recon it might have made No 1
ilove ant music
love it such a gorgeous man
always loved this one,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
The mood of the whole album is summed up in this song. Upbeat but sad. That must be hard to do. Greatness it is. Horribly overlooked nowadays.
music genius
He was diagnosed as bipolar, so a song for mood swing sufferers.
THAT documentary on the guy was mindblowing
ferocel, your comment really nails it. That is one of my biggest takeaways from the best 80s music I love most, the whole ebb & flow thing of upbeat yet melancholy, too. It will never be duplicated and luckily the garbage trash "artists" out these days have no desire to re-create the talent of days gone by, so we are safe.
A couple days ago I walked into a record shop looking for this one. No dice but I’ll keep looking. I ended up buying a Misfits reissue and some cool sunglasses.
i crank this song while smoking bowls before i go surfing
4952 i have this playing at the gym
the percussion the lyrics guitar all work beautifully the meaning is deep and heartfelt ! long live ant !
+Emery Harris Favourite song on the brilliant album. Love how it didn't have any brass, loved Wiczling's aggressive old Antmusic drums. Marco shines, love the sad tune and lyrics. This is a top 5 Adam song.
aaaaaaaaargh what a grrrrreat song
One of the very best
Indeed Ant-man
Such a great song. Brilliant guitar chords. Very melancholic.
Agreed.
What can I say that I haven't already said before.........just the best ever.
