The Stranglers são uma banda Inglesa, formada em 11 Setembro de 1974 em Guildford, Surrey. Originalmente eles chamavam-se "The Guildford Stranglers". Começaram tocando rock num pub e logo decidiram explorar novos estilos musicais. No inicio, em 1976, foram conotados como um grupo de punk rock, muito por culpa do primeiro tour na Inglaterra. The Stranglers foram tambem associados ao estilo New Wave assim como gothic rock, mas o seu estilo proprio nunca atingiu completamente nenhum dos anteriores.

intro: keyboard riff of D A C F G (whole band come in on the G).
guitar stays on the chord of G, while the keyboard riff is played another three times.
G Didn't have the money round to buy a Morry Thou FCG Been around and seen a lot to shake me anyhow G Begged and borrowed sometimes I admit I even stole FCG But the worst crime that I ever did was playing rock'n'roll
DFG But the money's no good, just get a grip on yourself DFG But the money's no good, just get a grip on yourself
G Suffering convictions on a two way stretch inside FCG The air in here in pretty thin, I think I'll go outside G Committed for insanity and crimes against the soul FCG The worst crime that I ever did was play some rock'n'roll
DFG But the money's no good, just get a grip on yourself DFG But the money's no good, just get a grip on yourself
And you should know!
(during this bit, the guitar and bass stay on D while the keyboard plays the chords)
G Now I find from week to week the sentence sticking fast FCG Turn the corner, rub my eyes, and hope the world will last G Stranger from another planet, welcome to our hole FCG Just strap on your guitar and we'll play some rock and roll
DFG But the money's no good, just get a grip on yourself DFG But the money's no good, just get a grip on yourself
And you should know!
