The Stranglers - The Lines (R̶a̶t̶ Track Chat)

[@jetblack5115]

Great song..... And it has the stranglers edge.... A truth a dark side of the truth... I have a line on my face... Its from the stranglers... You have been on my shoulders since I was 16...gave me strength.... And a aggressive side... When I needed it... Thank you...

Ordered the album yes on vinyl ,the lines a perfect song ,was 15 when I first heard the band and now I'm 60 with grey hair and loads of lines on my face,

A sweet little song, both simple and clever. The video is a perfect visual foil. And I love these fly-on-the-wall chats about the writing and recording process. Thanks guys!

I was convinced JJ sang this. First time I've been caught out. Great song Baz and JJ.

[@seawolf7218]

[@philoktoday]

Hi guys - just absolutely love you - many thanks for your immense talent over the years - my goto music everytime - my 27 year old son is also totally hooked. Somehow i just know where the inspiration for this track came from - and its got to be Sean Lock - come on admit it - his stand up sketch is this song, but hey why not. Its a great number - just love the way you pack so much into your music, clearly perfected your craft - so creative, clever and brave, just love real true talent that carve their own furrow - you are rare gems for sure.

Bloody brilliant!

[@Ian25tech]

This is that Ian McCready bloke from Sunderland commenting that I think this song is simply......magic!!! Well done. X

[@paigequigley4499]

Beautiful 🖤

[@zg8626]

Is it just me, or does JJ's chair look like it's from the sitting room in a care home?

[@T0MATOPLANT]

Amazing, thanks for the laugh!

[@777Ruffdriver]

JJ your so modest and so down to earth it’s refreshing, do you get out much On that Triumph of yours.

[@dionisisantonatos3966]

You are the greatest performer J.J Burnell i had never seen live. And you are my favourite punk rock band. Athens.

[@dereklowe946]

Got to be honest and admit at first few listens of this song I didn't like it at all but now it's grown on me and I love it. Really can't wait to hear Dark Matters after hearing all the 'tasters' as it sounds amazing. For the record I thought it was JJ singing it too! 😂

[@seanbaptist982]

Told you Baz sung it. 😉

[@paolozak3014]

sadness and resignation seems to be the state of mind here, more than fair enough

🔥 Hi there, I'm a huge Stranglers fan. I live in New Zealand now, and I'm going to the Stranglers gig in March 2025. I used to run a nightclub in Mayfair, London over 30 years ago, and the Stranglers filmed a music video there. But I can't find the video anywhere. The video featured a Margaret Thatcher lookalike and a Pope lookalike. Does anyone know what this song was please? Thank you if you can help.🔥

[@jonesy2111]

He's so right and I'm proud of my gray hairs in my beard....I earned every one of them. I see all these famous musicians who dye their hair like Steve Hackett who is in his late 70s looks ridiculous and phoney a f like those guys who wear toupees/hair systems. If you are getting gray or balding just be real and who you are because it makes you (and ironically) look better and really authentic.

Traduction.....💙🖤💙

[@Charlies247]

Tidy!

[@steveturner7885]

Just demonstrates the Stranglers range. Beautiful and poignant song (especially when you're my age!)

[@Drakon9]

Ждём новый альбом. Hello from Ukraine.

[@andrewmccririck8412]

It might not be the chair perhaps JJ is shrinking over time maybe he will get chased by tabby cats in a few years time

[@l.salisbury1253]

Reminded me of Floyd's "pigs on the wing" for some reason. Very Roger Waters-inspired! (By no means a bad thing!)

[@ghmusic8116]

Burnel won't like that Lol as he dislikes Rog.

[@acidtap3]

Absolutelly perfect as always,that's really lovely ❤❤❤❤
