Stranglers - Straighten Out lyrics

rate me

And the first commandment reads

That human flesh and blood

Is sacred

Until there is no more food

The break of day has come

I see the cracks have just begun

To line the walls

Line the walls

I want to see the little girls and boys

Destroy their toys

And line the walls

Line the walls

What a fate for little girls

British boys' minds in a whirl

Tell you things that'll make your curls

Straighten out

Straighten out

Straighten out

Straighten out

For twenty years or more

Just tell me what we're living for

So tell me now

Tell me now

Frustrated intellect

That government capitulation

Follows now

Follows now

What a fate for little girls

British boys' minds in a whirl

Tell you things that'll make your curls

Straighten out

Straighten out

Straighten out

Straighten out

The break of day has come

I see the cracks have just begun

To line the walls

Line the walls

I want to see the little girls and boys

Destroy their toys

And line the walls

Line the walls

What a fate for little girls

British boys' minds in a whirl

Tell you things that'll make your curls

Straighten out

Straighten out

Straighten out

Straighten out

Straighten out

Straighten out

Straighten out

Straighten out ...
