Lyrics

We came across the west sea We didn't have much idea of the Kind of climate waiting We used our hands for guidance Like the children of a preacher Like a dry tree seeking water Or a daughter Nice 'n' sleazy Nice 'n' sleazy does it

Nice 'n' sleazy Nice 'n' sleazy Does it does it Does it every time Nice 'n' sleazy Nice 'n' sleazy Does it does it Does it every time Nice 'n' sleazy does it

Nice 'n' sleazy Nice 'n' sleazy Does it does it Does it every time Nice 'n' sleazy Nice 'n' sleazy Does it does it Does it every time Nice 'n' sleazy does it

An angel came from outside Had no halo had no father With a coat of many colours He spoke of brothers many Wine and women song a plenty He began to write a chapter In history Nice 'n' sleazy Nice 'n' sleazy does it Nice 'n' sleazy does it Nice 'n' sleazy does it Does it every time

Songwriters: Hugh Cornwell/Jean Jacques Burnel/Dave Greenfield/Jet Black (Brian John Duffy)

A crowd of intriguing covers can always be counted on to serve as a shock to a multitude of our assumptions about some players and their own works. For instance, the Stranglers covered Burt Bacharach. Read that again, please – they made their own version of his song and I somehow wish I would've heard more of this type of remakes, i.e. a group known for a certain style takes something from a different one, which makes the whole thing more interesting. Sure, if you listen to the original by Dionne Warwick, you can locate the Stranglers following the template well, but they went into the direction Bacharach might have gone, had he called, hm, Love, for instance. Yes, they did a pastiche of the 60's in the 70's.

The Stranglers

The Stranglers, originaire de Guildford, Surrey, en Angleterre, apparaît un peu avant la première vague punk à laquelle il a été associé. Il unit au départ et pendant 16 ans, Jet Black (batterie), Jean-Jacques "JJ" Burnel (basse, chant), Hugh Cornwell (guitare, chant) et Dave Greenfield (claviers, chant). Hugh Cornwell quitte le groupe. Il est remplacé en 1990, par John Ellis et en 2000, par Baz Warne. Le chanteur, Paul Roberts, s'ajoute à la formation entre 1990 et 2006, se réservant les parties vocales jusque-là partagées entre Hugh Cornwell, Jean-Jacques Burnel et Dave Greenfield. En 2010, Jet Black met un terme à sa carrière. Jim Macaulay prend sa place.

Le son qui gouverne le groupe renvoie à la basse à la fois harmonieuse et agressive de JJ Burnel, aux mélodies de Dave Greenfield, jouées sur orgue Hammond, synthétiseur, piano ou clavecin, à la guitare subtile, singulière de Hugh Cornwell et au style sobre et/ou sophistiqué du batteur Jet Black.
