The Stranglers - 2.03 - Dead Ringer


This is the third track of the album "No more heroes", which was released in 1977. The word conkeroonee is only used in England. It refers to someone who plays the schoolboy game of conkers.



Dead Ringer

Haven't I seen you somewhere around before?
Haven't I seen you somewhere around before?
Bet you're a dead ringer,
Bet you're a dead ringer,
Bet you're a dead ringer,
Bet you're a conkeroonee stringer.

Wasn't it you said you was into changing the law?
Wasn't it you said you was into changing the law?
Wasn't it you running around proud of being poor?

Productivity.
Credibility.
Impossibility.
