♪♫ Bitching 'bout the things we've seen
Bitching 'bout the things we've been
Bitching 'bout the loves we've had
My oh my it wasn't so bad
When we had that to loosen our minds
Hey little baby in the front row be kind

Bar bitching: telling you the gospel truth
Bar bitching: why don't you all go get screwed?
Bar bitching: why don't you tell me something new?
Bar bitching: Bar bitching

Bitching 'bout the Windsor C
Bitching 'bout the Western Sea
Why can't you all be like a Grainger man?
Or be even a Pheland man?
I'll tell you what we'll meet in Amsterdam
Yeah then you'll see what should be really can

Bar bitching: telling you the gospel truth
Bar bitching: why don't you all go get screwed?
Bar bitching: why don't you tell me something new?
Bar bitching: Bar bitching That's what I'm talking about


Got anything to say

No

Well shut up


There's a place with a lot of eyes
Strange smoke perfume around the peacock guys
And the girls they move their heat
To the impulsive compulsive beat
But that's another place another time
Maybe we'll meet there in quite a short while

Bar bitching: telling you the gospel truth
Bar bitching: why don't you all go get screwed?
Bar bitching: why don't you tell me something new?
Bar bitching

I really don't know what to say
It's gonna happen to us all one day
And when it does you could have me too
But until then I really don't know what to do
I'm just gonna keep on

Bar bitching: telling you the gospel truth
Bar bitching: why don't you all go get screwed?
Bar bitching: why don't you tell me something new?
Bar bitching

Cheers! Can't beat a bit of Strangs...the final 5 seconds or so reminds me of part of the soundtrack to the film 'The Warriors' ;-j

Yep, isnt it strange that they dont have the awards they deserve. I dispise people in the music industry like Bono and Sting who hang on the coat tails of politicians/leaders like Nelson Mandela. The Stranglers - Varied music unique in its delivery

[1SAW2]

Lol back at the Apollo,Ardwick. Great tune from a great and very underestimated group. The MIB take some beating!

[SagesOfL33T]

Thumbs up if you hate Youtube's new design
