Bless you (save you, spare you, damn you)


Here comes the pain
I've felt its caress and its kiss
And it's always the same
But soon comes the day
When it sticks out its black tongue at you
And crying and pleading and begging's no use at all
And it's with fat bleeding hearts they scream, damn you
And I won't be afraid
No I won't be afraid
And I won't be afraid
No I won't be afraid

This way comes death
It claws at your heart and your brain
And it rattles your breath
I stood out and looked at the city of vermin and flame
And knew that I'd never see this precious life again

First they say, bless you
Then they all wanna save you
But then the whispering starts when they spare you
And it's with fat bleeding hearts they scream, damn you
And I won't be afraid
No I won't be afraid
And I won't be afraid
No I won't be afraid

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
 
The lyrics BLESS YOU (SAVE YOU, SPARE YOU, DAMN YOU) of THE STRANGLERS is also present in the album Suite xvi (2006)

Biografia

The Stranglers are a British rock band formed in Guildford in 1974. Their sound, initially defined as punk rock, has evolved to incorporate influences from post-punk, new wave and progressive rock, creating a unique and recognizable sonic identity. The founding members were Hugh Cornwell (guitar, vocals), Jet Black (drums), Jean-Jacques Burnel (bass) and Hans Warmling (keyboards, guitar). Warmling was soon replaced by Dave Greenfield, who remained with the band until his death in 2020. The Stranglers achieved great success in the 1970s and 1980s with songs like "Golden Brown", "Always the Sun" and "No More Heroes". They are known for their energetic live performances and often provocative and ironic lyrics. The band has released over 15 studio albums, cementing their status as a cult group in the British music scene.
