Stranglers, The - Outside Tokyo Lyrics






Somewhere outside Tokyo
Invented time
Someone in a factory
Invented time
If people wanted proof to
Carry on they'd like to buy one

50 million watches with a
Strap to sell
50 million watches with a
Strap to sell
If people wanted proof to
Carry on they'd like to buy one

If they should ever sell out
That would be the end of (time)
Be the end of (time)
Be the end of time

    Not one of their greatest hits,but for me the ultimate track.

  27. m.... ....

    @almklit I say: this is one of the best songs ever! that´s all!

  28. c.... o....

    I jumped off a 3rd story roof back in 79 or so, and in the loony bin, my best friend gave me this album....he passed away some years later..but he was my door into what has turned out being a joyful music journey... and so were the stranglers...wonderful to hear this tune again. thanks for posting.

  29. e.... ....

    I want to go back to when I was 17 .....I hope Simon Cowell chokes on his money !

  30. S.... ....

    yeah that bass just drops right in with a crunch

  31. M.... ....

    Stranglers!!!!!

  32. M.... S....

    A collection of songs that exudes bleak war torn imagery and references the cold war dystopia to great effect. The black side sought to capture post apocalyptic destruction with a stark sneer of cold command, the white side reflected a libertarian utopian landscape where robots rule and armies conquer. The sleeve depicts the band silouetted against a white background symbolising the intense white light of an atomic explosion, thus reflecting the entrenched paranoia that existed in the 1970's.

  33. o.... ....

    Agree, pure Stranglers!! heavy walking bass, light drumming, off tune vox, melodic keys! I'll be playing this track and the other intrumentals for years to come!! thanks for posting..

  34. L.... ....

    Absolute classic!

    Acquired taste, but pure stranglers!
