Stranglers, The - Nice In Nice Lyrics






Just look at that girl
She knows the world owes her something
And she's alright
Just look at that girl
She knows she's got that something
And she's alright
She's got diamond rings from her dad
She's got fancy things from her dad
All the world it wants this lady
All the world it wants her

So nice in Nice, so nice and neat
So nice in Nice, so nice and neat

Just look at that girl
She owns the ground she walks on
And she'll walk all over you
Just look at that girl
She smiles and breaks your heart
There's nothing you can do
She's got diamond rings from her dad
She's got fancy things from her dad
All the world it wants my baby
All the world it wants her

So nice in Nice, so nice and neat
So nice in Nice, so nice and neat
Don't tell me lies
You can't support
I wouldn't believe you
I wouldn't believe at all
Even if I saw

Just look at that girl
Where once she wore leather jackets
Now she's wearing furs
Just look at that girl
She walks around owning everything
That's not even hers
She's got diamond rings from her dad
She's got fancy things from her dad
All the world it wants my baby
All the world it wants her

So nice in Nice, so nice and neat
So nice in Nice, so nice and neat

She walks straight ahead
And walks all over you
She smiles and breaks you heart
But that's OK

Stranglers, The Nice In Nice Comments
  1. G.... e....

    On a perdu les strangers

  2. y.... ....

    Well that's one funny video ;-)

  3. D.... D....

    Where the hell's all the United Artists era stuff gone? 'Who Wants The World?', 'Golden Brown', 'Bear Cage', 'Strange Little Girl' etc, etc?

  4. g.... j....

    Just think... Nice was the base Laance Armstrong and teammates like Frankie Andreu resided in when they went to Europe. Had a house there and all.

  5. f.... ....

    nice in nice is nice

  6. V.... D....

    The Stranglers were the Rimbauds of the Punk vibe Nobody got them enough

  7. B.... S....

    So rad 👌

  8. s.... ....

    Another little bit of Dave borrowing a bit of another song with the keyboard at 0:45 from Dagenham Dave, and repeated in other verses

  9. J.... S....

    JJ in drag at the end? lol

  10. S.... W....

    So nice in Greece

  11. M.... L....

    Not good stranglers I hear the commercial, mixed with the nonchalant and probs by then fed up!

  12. C.... S....

    Hugh & dave have the best trousers

  13. C.... D....

    The Stranglers need more views.

  14. b.... r....

    actually as a dedicated stranglers fan i pretty much hated this stuff but it is a catchy tune but it was like "Sugar Sugar" a song you couldnt forget no matter hard you try. Actually now i can listen to this and enjoy certain aspects of the song ...Just wondering is the prison outfits and "nice in Nice" song a piss take of when they all got locked up when touring france because they got blamed for the students smashing all the windows in the university or something....incitement through music. punk days?

  15. E.... ....

    I might be wrong but I see a parallel with the INXS with them.Even the (great) pitch of voice.

  16. H.... M....

    i do not understand why the band are dressed as convicts in this video

    H.... M....

    Harriston Miller
    3 of them (Burnel, Black & Cornwell) were briefly jailed in Nice 1980 (France) for falsely inciting a riot (caused by the fans) at one of their Gigs The Vid's a dig about it

  17. I.... P....

    It is not nive and sleazy though

  18. �.... �....

    Just a great song from a super cool band

  19. E.... E....

    Tune!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  20. g.... j....

    Great song. How great were The Stranglers? Really.

  21. D.... C....

    Proper song from the 80s

  22. Y.... ....

    I'm silent over this.

  23. R.... T....

    Both the Stranglers and Wire were old skool punk bands whose musical achievement kept them going as well are their tenacity. How odd in retrospect that this now reminds me of Wire's "Eardrum Buzz" which is from only two years earlier!

  24. s.... m....

    i wonder if jet black had the same color striped underpants on

  25. W.... ....

    Absolutely brilliant

  26. P.... W....

    handsome as well as talented

    P.... W....

    P Wood Hugh or JJ?

  27. I.... M....

    I remember the day they got kicked out of Nice, Jets bro told me how upset they where, Not!

  28. P.... S....

    31 years ago

    P.... S....

    eh oui ça nous rajeunie pas, la claque.

  29. P.... S....

    Just look at the girl
    She knows the world owes her something and she's alright
    Just look at the girl
    She knows she got that something and she's alright
    She's got diamond rings from her dad
    She's got fancy things from her dad
    All the world, it wants this lady
    All the world, it wants her

    So nice in nice (so nice in nice) so nice and neat (so nice and neat)
    So nice and nice (so nice in nice) so nice and neat (so nice and neat)

    Just look at that girl
    She owns the ground she walks on and she walks all over you
    Just look at that girl
    She smiles and breaks your heart, there's nothing you can do
    She's got diamond rings from her dad
    She's got fancy things from her dad
    All the world, it wants my baby
    All the world, it wants her

    So nice in nice (so nice in nice) so nice and neat (so nice and neat)
    So nice in nice (so nice in nice) so nice and neat (so nice and neat)

    Do not tell me
    Lies you can't support
    I wouldn't believe you
    I wouldn't believe at all
    Even if I saw

    Just look at the girl
    Well, where once she wore leather jackets, now she's wearing furs
    Just look at that girl
    She walks around owning everything that's not even hers
    She's got diamond rings from her dad
    She's got fancy things from her dad
    All the world it wants my baby
    All the world it wants her

    So nice in nice (so nice in nice) so nice and neat (so nice and neat)
    So nice in nice (so nice in nice) so nice and neat (so nice and neat )

    She walks straight ahead (so nice in nice)
    Walks all over you (so nice and neat)
    She smiles and breaks your heart (so nice in nice)
    But that's ok (so nice and neat)

    (So nice in nice)
    (So nice in nice)
    (So nice in nice)

  30. T.... ....

    Not a bad little song ruined by stinky 80's production

    T.... ....

    TrainInVain true

  31. m.... c....

    love this song and the stranglers were the most underrated band to come out of the uk

    m.... c....

    Underrated????? Fuck off........

    m.... c....

    Love this song

    m.... c....

    I think Crazyhead, Terrorvision & New Model Army were most underrated bands in UK; Stranglers had a fair bit of 'success'? - but there's probably other groups we never even heard of.. ; )

    m.... c....

    ha ha....the number of people who overuse the word underrated is astoniishing. When Bowie died, millions of people claimed he was the most underrated singer in the UK in his lifetime! The bulshit one comes across sometimes....

    m.... c....

    @binitials David Bowie underated never , he was awesome so sad of his passing , hope he's in a good place rip Dave !

  32. A.... B....

    their worst video...terrible...but great 1977-82 band...wheels totally fell off here...JJ...or John..really? Life certainly does show no mercy...

    A.... B....

    Their best video.

    A.... B....

    I reckon not as good as the quite funny Duchess or Nuclear Device videos (hard to find but you can still buy the dvd), or even Golden Brown. They never took videos all that seriously

    A.... B....

    JJ wrote this little song about his wife at the time, and it was all Hugh who storyboarded the whole video in the first place... why blaming JJ then ffs?

  33. a.... ....

    saw the Stranglers on the no more heroes tour 1978

    a.... ....

    I saw them when ever I could, you name the tour I was at it

  34. w.... ....

    STRANGE CLOTHES..................

    w.... ....

    wagsouza they got chucked out of Nice idiot

    w.... ....

    This was a total piss take. They were jailed for inciting a riot between students. It was just an excuse, the students wanted to riot anyway and this was their chance. Hence the prison clothes

  35. c.... b....

    Walking past the meanies, looking at Burkinis, yeah!

  36. d.... ....

    I don't know (and care) whether it was a fake flag or not: the truth is we got 80 bodies, and That the government tells us we must get used to this....

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

    Love the strangler`s music and sense of humour which not many people got?

    S.... B....

    So nice in nice getting banged up!$

  38. d.... ....
