Stranglers, The - Sweden (All Quiet On The Eastern Front) Lyrics






Let me tell you about Sweden
Only country where the clouds are interesting
Big brother says it's the place to go

Too much time to think, too little to do
Too much time to think, too little to do
Too much time, too little to do
'Cos it's all quiet on the Eastern front

Fluctuations at a minimum
Hypochondriac tombstone
Sense of humour's gone astray somewhere

Too much time to think, too little to do
Too much time to think, too little to do
Too much time, too little to do
'Cos it's all quiet on the Eastern front

Cumulus nimbus floats by

Fluctuations at a minimum
Hypochondriac tombstone
Big brother says it's the place to go

It's all quiet on the Eastern front
(All quiet on the Eastern front)
It's all quiet on the Eastern front
(All quiet on the Eastern front)
It's all quiet on the Eastern front
It's all
Quiet

    Big brother was The disco back then. There I heard for the first time pinhead by ramones and get a grip by Stranglers. Great place. We did pogodancing there for the first time in my history. Unforgettable. Thank you SIDNEY

    Let me tell you about Sweden
    Only country
    Where the clouds are interesting.
    Big Brother says it's the place to go. Too much time to think
    Too little to do!
    Cos it's all quiet on the eastern front!

    Fluctuations at a minimum
    Hypochondriac tombstone
    Sense of humour's gone astray somewhere.
    Too much time to think
    Too little to do!
    Cos it's all quiet on the eastern front!

    Cumulo-nimbus floats by
    Fluctuations at a minimum
    Hypochondriac tombstone
    Big Brother says it's the place to go
    It's all quiet on the eastern front
    It's all quiet!

  25. I.... R....

    Hugh we love you.

  26. F.... D....

    Let Me Tell you about Sweden 0:08

  27. P.... D....

    keyboards are brilliant.

  28. l.... t....

    Real Punk!

  29. R.... T....

    Killer bass from JJ on this.

  30. K.... Y....

    I've heard about this obscure song since Stranglers haydays of the 70s/80s (some of the members had earlier lived in Sweden). I had most noticed the observered boredom. Now I suddenly realise, that the sharpest observation is - the fact that Sweden actually WAS the Eastern front during the cold war - no matter what was presented officially!

    K.... Y....

    Hugh was a science teacher in Sweden for a few years

  31. A.... G....

    When Sweden was good

  32. b.... b....

    In my opinion , the stranglers were prophetic...

    b.... b....

    What do you mean

  33. l.... ....

    With Trump's comment telling supporters, "Look what's happening last night in Sweden." (nothing, more made-up Trump bullshit). The Journalist David Emmett tweeted that remark brought him to this video for a listen and now me too.

  34. t.... p....

    where the fuck is the original video in surgical outfits?!
    ppl, I tell u
    someone is fucking us around !

  35. N.... W....

    Full point ...Cheers

  36. C.... G....

    My dad had a JJ jumper made for him, awesome, also says the stranglers were by far the best punk band by a mile, their songs are timeless classics, I love them, better than some of the dirge of today.

    C.... G....

    They are a great band but the Clash were the best x

    C.... G....

    Anyone who thinks The Clash are shit knows nothing about music.

    C.... G....

    The Clash arent shit by no means.....just not as good as The Stranglers.

    C.... G....

    Ciara Gibbons Too right!

  37. s.... ....

    i wanted a jumper like JJ, never happened

  38. G.... ....

    I can tell you about Sweden.
    The clouds are NOT even interesting.

    G.... ....

    She was NUTS going to Netherlands to meet that strange guy @Trance_World_Artists 2014

    G.... ....

    @Kelly14UK men and women try to fall in love, even though they are not suited in the long run....nature makes us do rash things when it comes to sex, in order for the species to continue via men making their new girlfriend pregnant.

    G.... ....

    r/wooosh (clouds aren't interesting) 😂

    G.... ....

    @alex brown thats racist.

    G.... ....

    How true!

  39. S.... B....

    Thankfully, Hugh got bored doing research in Sverige and switched career paths.

  40. d.... ....

    I know exactly what you mean.I wish I hadn't taken so many drugs the time I saw them play and could actually remember it.They were brilliant I Do recall that.I could listen to this over and over.

  41. l.... t....

    I will never tire of this amazing, amazing, amazing band!

  42. N.... A....

    Too much time to think, too little to do.

    That applied to all of Scandinavia during the cold war.

    N.... A....

    @Disky World My father told me about this. He didn't make it up.

    N.... A....

    @rolf bay Hmm. Sverige is a little national socialist, ubur trusting "Svensk System" and all that. You know that government sterilised independent thinkers til '79? Anyway, we Brexit in a few weeks. Norge should build up ties again. Still won't forgive you for the Norman conquest though ;)

    N.... A....

    @Disky World I had nothing to do with the Norman conquest.

    N.... A....

    @rolf bay ;D But your uncle's ancestors did. You know I found this music group one week ago? All I'm listening to now.

    N.... A....

    @amy6ful Beats getting invaded.

  43. l.... ....

    Too much time to think, too little to do............... 

  44. J.... H....
