The Stranglers - 1.06 - Peaches


This is the sixth track of the album "Rattus Norvegicus", which was released in 1977. It was also released as the Stranglers' second single.



Peaches

Strolling along, minding my own business,
Well, there goes a girl and a half,
She's got me going up and down,
She's got me going up and down.

Walking on the beaches looking at the peaches.

Well, I got the notion, girl,
That you got some suntan lotion in that bottle of yours.
Spread it all over my peeling skin, baby,
That feels real good.
All this skirt lapping up the sun,
Lap me up,
Why don't you come on and lap me up?

Walking on the beaches looking at the peaches.

Well, there goes another one just lying down on the sand dunes.
I'd better go take a swim and see if I can cool down a little bit,
Cos you and me, woman,
We got a lotta things on our minds,
You know what I mean?

Walking on the beaches looking at the peaches.

Will you just take a look over there! (Where? - There!)
Is she trying to get outta that clitoris?
Liberation for women,
That's what I preach.
Preacher man!

Walking on the beaches looking at the peaches.

Oh shit! There goes the charabanc!
Looks like I'm gonna be stuck here the whole summer.
Well, what a bummer!
I can think of a lot worse places to be,
Like down in the streets or down in the sewer,
Or even on the end of a skewer.

Down on the beaches, just look at all the peaches.
Down on the beaches, just look at all the firm bodies.
Down on the beaches, just look at all the sunglasses.
Down on the beaches, just look at all the peaches.
Down on the beaches, just look at all the peaches.
Down on the beaches, just look at all the peaches.
Down on the beaches.
