Stranglers - Get A Grip On Yourself lyrics

rate me

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
