Taken from "Dreamtime" this song, for me, aptly fitted some footage I recently did for my son and shows the 1938 London underground trains that the Isle of Wight have been using for donkeys years and are still using to thsi day !

I know the song was written about the state the band were in at the time (according to Hugh) and it's a long track but I hope you enjoy it ??

I always thought this was about doing H as well as blow, with the references involved! Cleminblack

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.......

too precious could be a great james bond theme tune

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

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

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