As a 14yr old in 1985 this is the single that got me into The Stranglers. Over the following months i bought all their LP's with my pocket money, but none had any lyrics inside....so sometime later when they were all released on CD...i nicked all the inlay books from inside em in 1 visit😀😁😂 ( i couldnt afford the disc ) The best musical discovery of my life.

Für mich einer der besten Songs dieser äußerst bemerkenswerten Band - jeder für sich ist eine echte Persönlichkeit . Das macht wohl auch den absolut authentischen Sound der Stranglers aus - aber das Keyboard-Spiel von Mr. Greenfield hat die ganze Sache magisch elektrisiert . Ein Hoch auf alle und vielen Dank für diese Klänge und Echtheit !!!

Many people tell you that they're your friend You believe them You need them For what's round the river bend Make sure that you're receiving the signals they send 'Cause brother, you've only got two hands to lend Maybe there's someone who makes you weep And some nights loom up ahead When you're asleep Some days there's things on your mind you should keep Sometimes, it's tougher to look than to leap better watch out for the skin deep (Ooh-ooh) better watch out for the skin deep (Brother, watch out) watch out for the skin deep (Brother, watch out) watch out for the skin deep Better watch out for the skin deep One day, the track that you're climbing gets steep Your emotions are frayed And your nerves are starting to creep Just remember the days As long as the time that you keep Brother, you better watch out for the skin deep better watch out for the skin deep (Ooh-ooh) better watch out for the skin deep (Brother, watch out) watch out for the skin deep (Brother, watch out) watch out for the skin deep Better watch out for the skin deep watch out for the skin deep (Brother, watch out) watch out for the skin deep Better watch out for the skin deep

I remember this song being on the 'Hits' compilation album that was supposed to rival the 'Now That's What I Call Music" series. I fell in love with it then. I remember Paul Young's 'I'm Gonna Tear Your Playhouse Down' and Meatloaf's 'Modern Girl' also being on it. Hugh has said Dave was nearly in tears when him and John asked him to play his keyboards in a key he wasn't happy with but they were right, whole song is class👌
