Stranglers, The - Ugly Lyrics

what I though the lyrics were before the internet....

I got afraid of going cold
I shemand the ass
To her observe
And at the moment
There was the good time
Just shaggin’ away
I was here 
And she was here
And being broad of mind and hips
We did the only thing possible…
I guess I shouldn't have strangled her to death 
But I had to go to work and she had laced my coffee with acid.

Normally I wouldn't have minded 
But Im allergic to sulphuric acid 
And besides - she had acne…
And if you got acne well, I apologise, but I dislike you intensely
But its understandable  - acne people get complexes
I mean it seems to me that acne people don’t have a chance

Its only the children of the fucking wealthy tend to be good looking

I know you fart
I tinks your good looking
Check if he’s got money
I know you fart 
I thinks you good looking
Check…if he’s got money 
Its different for juice somehow
I’d like to see a passionate film between 
The two ugliest people in the world 
When I say “ugly”, I don't mean “rough looking”
I mean “hideousssss”
Don't tell me that
The sayings are “So take the good look, know the truth”
When you see that, well I did this.
Marceau Parot, Marceau Parot etc

MUSCLE POWER! MUSCLE POWER! MUSCLE POWER! MUSCLE POWER!

The inside cover shows Cornwell holding his dream lover by the hand. Have you dumped your computer yet Hugh?

Fact in 1977 i was losterning to radio i heard the stranglers peaches heavily censored but blew me away they got me into punk thanks and also your fault lol i was 13 am now 55 i have lived my life outside the normol.all my life

I mean HIDEOUS

Brilliant

"Its only the children of the fucking wealthy that tend to be good looking"-lovely line

One of my favourites from the debut.

The Vocals on this Tune are raw and raffish and exactly this makes this Tune so perfect and especially.

It's still 69-75 Genesis with attitude. Good stuff nevertheless. Edit- It's 80s Cardiacs!

Love it love the words

song goood

May I ask you who is the man on your profile picture?

Martin Rushent R I P .

Im 58 now n remember those hazy days with aching in my heart ..I am the same inside just a different mask oh hum....

dont worry about it - we're all the same. They were the first band i saw live. 1978. Still havent been bettered. Nobody even close.

Timeless really. And I had no idea of the lyrics until i was 50! I thought it was just mindless words with swearing. We used to play the sweary bit in front of little old ladies to shock 'em!

Normally !? NEVER MIND! BEST!!

This is chav shit, what the fuck.

Just plain fuckin' nasty, sheer bloody, raw poetry!

all ways ratz

Friggin awesome song. Love the hilarious rant in the middle of the song! The Stranglers are the best,

i don't mean rough lookin'

I mean hideousssssss!

Raw, visceral, perfect!

You are a silly sausage

Without a doubt one of the Greatest Albums ever released, Ground breaking Music for the 70's

I can listen to this song ten times in a row. I like how hateful they were back then. It came across well in their caustic live shows. They were a tight as fuck live band.

To right best debut ever wendin black

Genesis? Siouxsie & the Banshees? Sweet? Kraftwerk? Nue? Planet Gong?. Come on fella, I was 2 when this came out.

I was just thinking that to myself when I read your comment. It really is one of the greatest album ever. Every track is outstanding, meaning so much to me (from the time). Reminds me of the times but does not seem like 42 years ago....just about 10...

Remember putting speakers on the floor with pillow in between and having this album with volume raked up! Absolute bliss after a week away at engineering college lmao

nice music for fucking

awesome

when im happy-i play this-what a line

wot a tune!

The first "FUCK" I ever heard on a record! Happy days.......
