Stranglers, The - London Lady Lyrics






Little lady
With Dingwall's bullshit
You're so stupid
Foetid brainwaves
Little lady
What really happens?
When you see mirrors
You get the shivers

Aaaah!

Making love to
The Mersey Tunnel
With a sausage, have you ever been to Liverpool?
Please don't talk much
It burns my ears
Tonight you've talked for a thousand years

Plastic's real when you're real sick
Plastic's real when you're real sick
Plastic's real when you're real sick

Plastic's real when you're real sick
Plastic's real when you're real sick
Plastic's real when you're real sick
Plastic's real when you're real sick
Plastic's real when you're real sick

Tell me what you've got to look so pleased about
Tell me what you've got to look so pleased about

Oh London Lady
Why did you lay me?
Your head is crowded
With the names you've hounded
The lines around your
Eyes they show me
You realise the party's over, London Lady
Party's over, London Lady

Tell me what you've got to look so pleased about
Tell me what you've got to look so pleased about

    i think some of you guys have got mixed up with the term "making love to... the Mersey Tunnel".

    have you ever slept with a girl with a big fanny.. and i mean 'wide' big. i used to come from there and it was a joke with us that some girls "were no virgin cos she had a minge as wide as the mersey tunnel". [this is where the thought police under the politically correct act 4.71-g start whining].

    it's about shagging a girl who's been about a bit. usually the girls by the docks. and i've known a few of them. even been on the ships with them cos they were worried cos it was polynesian or far eastern/turkish and they were afraid they'd get carted off to the white slave trade so wanted a coupla mates to escort them. some girls would do a whole tanker for a bargain £1000 for the whole crew. THEY were "London Ladies" types.

    ffs, it's about shagging a girl who has a wide vagina [if i say 'fanny' then yanks will think arse... then again, that's a yank thing.. they even fuck each other up the ass if they got an excuse, ie, prison?].

    now that means 'wide' in contrast to 'long'. you cannot pound a girl if your cock is 10 inches long. you'll just hurt her cervix. if she is , say, 6' 2" tall then she can take a 9 incher wo hurting the cervix [ie, you can pound her over the washing machine]

    how the flying fuck did you get the idea it was about sticking your dick into the Mersey Tunnel? it's about fucking a girl who can't get enough and with anyone with a swinging dick.

    i have deffo gone into too much detail here but so many ppl don't 'get' Strangler's lyrics.

    eg, Golden Brown WAS about heroin but was denied by them [when Hugh was with them] but they later admitted it was, after Hugh had left, because Hugh always had time for chemical romances and had served time for possession of a bagload of C, H and, you fkn name it, he had it.
    but Dave and JJ always went thru several groupies nightly.

    Hugh was a big drug user. altho i wouldn't say ABuser. still it created friction sometimes with JJ who was the opposite, being into karate, judo etc and keeping the body in perfect shape etc.

    i dug this up from about .. i dunno... hundreds of sources when i was digging around about other bands of the 70s and 80s.

    i fank yew! i fank yew!

    +Narred Darr err...ok

    N.... D....

    +Narred Darr PhD paper on the Sexual Exploits and Fantasies of Rock Stars :)

    N.... D....

    Have you ever been to Liverpool? EVERYONE'S been to Liverpool. Get it?

    N.... D....

    We used to say..it's like chucking a sausage up the High Street.

  21. G.... G....

    saw them live twice at Glasgow apollo which aint there now
    this was a fav song for sure

    G.... G....

    seen them there too one of a few class songs , liked down in the sewer was always a great song to end a gig s1v

  22. Z.... M....

    each to there own I guess. I was there last year and the only thing I really felt like doing was putting my cock in the mersey tunnel! Although I've got to be honest on a good day we're only talking about an inch and a half of chunk

  23. H.... ....

    with a sausage.. have you ever been to Liverpool?

    funny enough, I ended up at Liverpool university 3 years after this was released, and I never felt like making love to the Mersey tunnel..

  24. R.... R....

    aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh makin love 2 the mersey tunnel:))))))
