agreed, TP is an amazing song and the vibe is haunting. One of my fav Strangler songs and sadly overlooked. Probably because of the lengthy instrumental part in the middle. The musicianship and tonality of that song is top shelf.......

The line "The drive is blind when there's snow on the line" is brilliant because the song is about the band and the 'snow' is cocaine

the stranglers really knew how to create suspense and dramatic build-up in a song!

strangely they never did this live as far as i know.
though it is one of their strongest pieces ever
i prefer "too precious" from this LP

yes, i love "too precious" too,
it has such a perfect "last song" feel, it´s so relaxed a swan song
the album dreamtime is a real climax of the band for me
