Stranglers, The - Sweet Smell Of Success Lyrics
You get a taste it ain't enough
To eat your fill you need the stuff
You think you're there about to land
But is the trip just what you planned
You're falling, yes you're falling
You're gambling like everyone
Who cares who wins you're having fun
And you'll be back another day
You think you'll win next time you play
You're falling, yes you're falling
For the sweet smell of success
You check your hand you're looking good
You see a path within the wood
She beckons you what can you do
But follow her to somewhere new
You're falling, yes you're falling
For the sweet smell of success

Stranglers, The Sweet Smell Of Success Comments
Always liked this though the album itself was bad, they’d run out of ideas at this point, the daft cover was about the only thing going for it. I can see why Hugh left in 1990. Not seen them myself since then.
My favourite Stranglers album
Really? I think it’s by FAR the Weakest the only song I liked on 10 is 96 Tears and this song is decent but even then it’s weak by The Stranglers Standards. I much Prefer Rattus Norvegicus, No More Heroes, Black and White and The Raven. Are you sure you won’t reconsider saying it’s your favourite Stranglers Album?
Margaret thatcher cameo , woot !
One of the better songs from this album although thats not saying much !
It’s a pretty weak song
music for men's

Last single with Hugh Cornwell in the band
Lord fauntleroy Hugh Looked really bored by this point plus he was just fed up of JJ and everyone else. It’s Sad I wish he’d return and make up with them.
'Brilliant!!'
