Stranglers, The - Tramp Lyrics






Takes the time to stay one place
Though his clothes aren't finest lace
Read the lines on a tramp's face
Taking his time just like you just like me
Wandering so fancy free
Searching for love in the call of the wild
Travelling lost like a child
Law has missed him every day
Doesn't need it anyway
Life is the next meal away
A lost woman long ago
Does she miss him does he know?
Does it matter in the snow?
Taking his time just like you just like me
Wandering so fancy free
Searching for love in the call of the wild
Travelling lost like a child
Taking his time just like you just like me
Wandering so fancy free
Searching for love in the call of the wild
Travelling lost like a child

    Can anyone hear Made of Stone in this. Cornwell's vocals in the verse.

    Would and should of been another big hit if used as follow up to GB

    Blame JJ Burnel he wanted La Folie instead and it’s one of the reason High left eventually

  3. I.... R....

    the Stranglers missed out on another top 10 single by not putting this out after Golden Brown as the follow up single.I wonder if JJ ever regrets this.

    I.... R....

    I think this is one of the reasons why Hugh Cornwell left the Stranglers because JJ wanted La Folie instead of this as the follow up he says so In His autobiography

  4. L.... B....

    Should have been the follow up to Golden Brown.

    Love this album! I was into them since I was 12 even though the djs never announced their name on the radio. Couldn't believe a band called The Stranglers could do beautiful songs like Golden Brown & Always the sun. BRILLIANT!
