Stranglers, The - Long Black Veil Lyrics






Life was good for a short while
Hot sweet nights days that were fine
Spent many hours just looking at you
Heart stopped beating for a moment or two
Long black veil now you are mine

Sun went down never to rise
Lost in tears filling my eyes
Saw my love trampled deep in the dirt
Overwhelmed by the bitterest hurt
Long black veil now you are mine

I've lately felt a stirring
Of ghosts around my mind
And I'm frightened of the things that I might find
The veil of black that claimed you
And took you from my sight
Has marched across the sands of time tonight

    Tasty!!!

    Funny after 15 yrs The Stranglers w/ Paul Roberts deliver their , by far , best work ... then he quits . He had a hard , perhaps toughest position in Rock Music to fill - Replace Hugh Cornwell ... even I was finally coming around . Bought this album & enjoyed very much . I was there from the beginning & his beginning as well but their were some stinkers . I think missed The Simple Masculinity took it for granted . Had he been cool and subdued , acted and performed with a suave tough demeanour he'd have had a completely different career . How he missed that is beyond me !!

    The Freddie Mercury tribute act rally didn't work. As you say cool and detached.

    I think/feel when he knew that Baz had intentions of singing....he was fast becoming the 3rd singer for The Stranglers,mate....and that's a lousy place to be when you are 'LEAD' singer in a band.- Just my opinion.

    He was a dork !
