Stranglers, The - All Roads Lead To Rome Lyrics
The streets of tarmac are straight as a die
With steel fingers clawing at the sky
Inside the wall of the citadel
Yellow chariots race
Peasants and their peasants' smells
The beasts from the end of the century
Adorn themselves with jewellery
Inside the wall of the citadel
Yellow chariots race
Peasants and their peasants' smells
Hungry enough to touch your face.
Their eyes they change colour from grey to green
And when they're blue they weigh the scene
Remind me all roads lead to Rome.
Inside the wall of the citadel
Yellow chariots race
Peasants and their peasants' smells
Hungry to touch your frightened face.
All roads lead to Rome
All roads lead to Rome
All roads lead to Rome
All roads lead to Rome

Nutrition. 💜
Its true !!!
Nice Kraftwerk spoof.
For me this seems like a band that has been at the top at a crossroads not knowing which way they should be going, didn't stay there long though.
Inside the walls of the citadel yellow chariots race. Genius
Though not their best, I am very fond of the album Feline which this song comes from. It's the ultimate celebration of the European sound. All the songs flows well into eachother, great cohesion and feel. The music matches the album cover perfectly I would say.
I love the way he says Peasants and their peasant smells hahha x
Thats you fool !!!
Thats you !!!
@Jemma Schuurmans How sweet of you to stalk me!
@Jemma Schuurmans I thought your taste in music was usually young women who have voices sound like they have inhaled helium! You got that feelin, that Beatboy feeling! SO sweet. Just embrace what you are and quit bullying me darling
One of most beautiful songs I ever heard ! 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
Great song
They're eyes turn from blue to green
four horsemen.
Actually, all roads lead to Tal-y-Bont - if you're driving through mid Wales. No escape.
Guess the black Mustang was rented that day
Although this song does call for a yellow chariot!
goodbye Toulouse. peasant in the big shitty. curfew. genetix. four horsemen. how to find true love and happiness in the present day. all roads lead to rome. spain. mayan skies. man of the earth.
Is it only my impression that this track was heavily inspired by Kraftwerk? 🤔
Perhaps not. This band is much more poetic in their lyrics. And they certainly didn’t need to mimic, they are too great.
love the Stranglers!
Where was this filmed?
New York
they just wrote better music with hugh in the band
The music was consistently high quality in the early days. But if I had to choose between material like "Let's Celebrate" and "Out of my Mind" from the final Stranglers/Hugh album "10", and the music they are producing now, I'd take the latter. Wouldn't you?
a classic illustration of British "subjects" being unable to grasp the concept of Life Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness...look at their drab faces..there's no queen to bow down to..despite the punk ethos
Hah good one.
Incredible piece of work. It's just a shame the track keeps skipping.
All roads lead to Juneau, Alaska.
where's Michael Douglas?
I love this.
tutte le strade portano a Roma. awesome.
could Hugh not have made some attempt to sing this instead of talking?
I love his talking, very sensual! La Folie without talking??
same jacket Huge as SLG...not your best...and certainly a cheapie video...
01:31 it reminds me a Mario Bros xD
The thing is all road`s do not lead to Rome?Love The Strangler`s though.
inside the wall of the citadel. yellow chariots race .
mr greenfield is my hero.....
Janice Lehane jet black is my hero
Janice Lehane jj burnell is mine
Hugh is my dad
Sonic the hedgehog sound effects kick in at 1:32 way ahead of its release 👍
haha - boss comment that, Gaz!
Well observed!

All Roads Lead To Rome along with European Female and Golden Brown is among my most favourite Stranglers tracks. I had no idea there was a video for this STUNNING piece of heaven x
and 'northwinds blowing' ???

Stranglers 1982 "All roads lead to Rome"
One of my favourite bands of the "punk" era and this video clip of the British band is filmed in New York with of course the twin towers featuring amongst many yellow chariots (taxi's). It just came into my mind as I was listening and watching your vid Casey.
they aint punk hun...punk was a fashion inspired movement ....stranglers are alternative
Maybe that's why zwerina used inverted comma's? anyway nowhere near New York either - somewhere on the Pacific West Coast, anyone know where that is they're driving around? hard to locate a building from a Google Search. looks a bit like San Diego or Long Beach from the Hilton and Palm Trees but can't be sure?
Total greatness
Oh hello, first time seeing the video for this. Takes me back
