Stranglers, The - Always The Sun Lyrics






How many times have you woken up and prayed for the rain?
How many times have you seen the papers apportion the blame?
Who gets to say?
Who gets to work and who gets to play?
I was always told at school, everybody should get the same.

How many times have you been told if you don't ask you don't get?
How many lads have taken your money? Your Mother said you shouldn't bet.
Who has the fun?
Is it always a man with a gun?
Someone must have told you if you work too hard you can sweat?

There's always the sun.
Mmmm
There's always the sun.
Always, always, always the sun.

How many times have the weathermen told you stories that made you laugh?
You know its not unlike the politicians and the leaders, when they do things by halves.
Who gets the job?
Of pushing the knob.
That's what responsibility you draw straws for if you're mad enough.

There's always the sun.
Mmmm
There's always the sun.
Always, always, always the sun.

There's always the sun.
Mmmm
There's always the sun.
Always, always, always the sun.

    Always loved the guitar solo and the special effects on the vocals. At least there’s memorable lyrics and you can hum the tune. You can’t do that with doof-doof music now can you? 🤷🏻‍♂️🙄

  14. S.... F....

    Hi Colin beautiful song for a beautiful son

  15. L.... M....

    These guys are awesome. They should have been a bigger act but anybody who listened when they were around knew their talents. Mind you there were many talented groups in the 80's that were SO superior to today's crap.

  16. D.... O....

    The end of the video is symbolic and beautiful... they are walking out from the dark straight to the light.
    There is always the sun, never be afraid and always find the light in your heart!

  17. B.... N....

    BELÍSSIMA !! SÃO PAULO - CAPITAL - BRASIL ! 2019 .

  37. S.... B....

    Many must have realized this version is, basically same yet, different in rifs, chorus voices, and sounds good more like human driven. I wonder if this is available as audio cd etc.

  38. c.... m....

    the original is ..https://youtu.be/7IGd38SdM80

  39. M.... H....

    Another Stranglers masterpiece , I'm so pissed that I never seen them play live .

    M.... H....

    My dad did, and the crowd were jumping up and down and spitting at the band, so the lead singer stopped the show for a minute and said he'd "...take the band off if the crowd didn't stop the fucking spitting."

  40. G.... W....

    What a band they were

  41. A.... K....

    I always loved the guitar solo beginning at 02:28

  42. E.... W....

    I'd forgotten just how good this song is. Thanks for reminding me!

  43. e.... b....

    it might be the official video, but is NOT the original version.

  44. J.... G....

  60. W.... ....

    they used to make music that makes up fly with our mind

  61. C.... ....

    "All the best bands are British!" someone said. They forgot to mention how many of those great bands had immigrants, foreigners or immediate descendants.
    Tony Iommi, Ronnie James Dio, Francis Rossi, Paul MCartney, John Lennon, Stewart Copeland, Warren Cuccurullo and Simon Le Bon from Duran Duran, Paul Di'anno from Iron Maiden, Phil Manzanera, Roland Orzabal, George Michael, Freddie Mercury, Phil Lynott, Gary Moore and Scott Gorham who weren't British, and neither were Lizzy.

    C.... ....

    Yes true - but they were British, don't tell immigrants they're not British

    C.... ....

    @Basil Watchfair British citizens yes, but multi-cultural, meaning British and Other.

    C.... ....

    Roland Orzabal

    C.... ....

    @Xavier Urrutia Added to list.

  62. M.... K....

    I'll miss you after the Brexit

  63. T.... S....

    Still one great song.

  64. R.... F....

    No toilet paper?, There's always the sun.

  65. a.... m....

    rip mum

  66. T.... F....

    The Stanglers...certainly one of the most underrated bands

  67. T.... H....

    Grant beating up Eddie in Eastenders brought me here.

  68. C.... G....

    There's always the sun. C'è sempre il sole... The Stranglers are my favourite band.

    Ciao dall'Italia

    C.... G....

    Ciao dall'Australia where there's always the sun 😌

    C.... G....

    Ciao dall' U.K. I AM FREEZING MY ASS OFF. but great track anyway.

  69. P.... 7....

    "There's Always the Sun"
    Nice sentiment, one I've lived by for several decades.
    Whatever Shit life hurls in your general direction....
    I think it was the Carthaginians/Phoenicians who worshipped Baal the Sun-God?
    Along with many other Religions.
    I'm thinking they were absolutely correct.

    ps: I can SEE the Sun. That's a positive, surely. (Unlike several other conventional religions I could name !)

    P.... 7....

    True Faith cannot be exercised by what we see with our eyes. That is called idolatry!

    P.... 7....

    @Robert Roberts Faith can be applied to any proposition you care to dream up. Nor is it a particular virtue, given the billions who have been killed in its name.

  70. m.... n....

    Brilliant Song.

  71. D.... D....

    GREAT 4 ever, regards...

    How many times have you woken up and prayed for the rain?
    How many times have you seen the papers apportion the blame?
    Who gets to say?
    Who gets to work and who gets to play?
    I was always told at school, everybody should get the same
    How many times have you been told if you don't ask you don't get?
    How many lads have taken your money, your mother said you shouldnt bet
    And who has the fun?
    Is it always a man with a gun?
    Someone must have told you, if you work too hard you can sweat
    There's always the sun
    Mm-hmm, there's always the sun
    Always, always (always the sun)
    How many times has the weatherman told you stories that made you laugh?
    You know it's not unlike the Politicians and leaders, when they do things by half
    Who gets the job
    Of pushing the knob?
    That sort of responsibility, you draw straws for it if you're mad enough
    There's always the sun (always the sun)
    Mm-hmm, there's always the sun
    Always, always (always the sun)
    There's always the sun (always the sun)
    Mm-hmm, there's always the sun
    Always, always (always the sun)
    There's always the sun (always the sun)
    There's always the sun
    Always, always (always the sun)
    There's always the sun (always the sun)
    There's always the sun
    Always, always (always the sun)
    There's always the sun (always the sun)
    There's always the sun
    Always, always (always the sun

  83. J.... G....

    Brilliant song and a great band.

  84. R.... R....

    Hugh Cornwell has always had a unique, distinct image and voice that I tried to emulate in my late teens, early twenties.

  85. D.... B....

    This VEVO version sounds as if it has been re produced and has totally spoiled what is a thoroughly beautiful track. The original is on Youtube but it has far less views.
    Nevertheless, I was in my gym the other day and suddenly the karaoke version came on. I was walking out, as I was about to leave after my session and just found an excuse to hang in the gym fully clothed because I had to listen to it. It was just too awesome

  86. J.... M....

    That song just feels so good

  87. U.... C....

    Life time guarantiee!!

  88. D.... B....

    I was born in 80.fantastic song.grande canzone
