The Stranglers - (Get a) Grip (On Yourself) (sNEaKY Proj 5MiX)

3rd one from me of this brilliant band, probably the song that made The Stranglers so popular, closely followed (in my opinion) by Hanging Around, there are the obvious songs like `Peaches` and `No more heroes`, actually the list just goes on and on. Anyway enJoy my offering of HD Widescreen Audio remix. Thanks for all your comments and ratings.

Excellent vid, excellent track. This was shot in the basement of The Hope and Anchor, Upper St, Islington. Went there a few months back and there`s a huge pic on the wall taken whilst this song was being filmed. Brilliant. http://www.youtube.com/user/manwithnoname65

Lyrics

Didn't have the money round to buy a Morry Thou
Been around and seen a lot to shake me anyhow
Begged and borrowed sometimes I admit I even stole
The worse crime that I ever did was play some rock 'n roll.

But the money's no good
Just get a grip on yourself
But the money's no good
Just get a grip on yourself

Suffering convictions on a two-way stretch inside
The air in here is pretty thin, I think I'll go outside
Committed for insanity and crimes against the soul
The worst crime that I ever did was play some rock 'n roll.

But the money's no good
Just get a grip on yourself
But the money's no good
Just get a grip on yourself

And you should know

Now I find from week to week the sentence sticking fast
Turn the corner, rub my eyes and hope the world will last
Stranger from another planet welcome to our hole
Just strap on your guitar and we'll play some rock 'n roll

But the money's no good
Just get a grip on yourself
But the money's no good
Just get a grip on yourself

And you should know
