When the man in the hobnail boots asked me what war was going on
I didn't have the heart to tell him that peace had just begun
He didn't believe he said do or die
I couldn't deceive and so I said goodbye
Got a friend with a silver lady shows me many ways to laugh
It's a one-way love affair but she shines in his photographs
He don't like a crowd but don't get him wrong
He does his thinking aloud he makes it up as he goes along
I want to do right by you but you mustn't do wrong by me
Sitting in a lonely room with a friend with lots to tell
He doesn't ask me for advice but then I've got nothing to sell
We trade in a joke we've got nothing to hide
We're just simple folk it makes me feel good inside
I want to do right by you but you mustn't do wrong by me
So when we're having our last meal and I ask you for a light
Don't get me wrong because the last thing that I want is for us to fight
So get back to school and I'll do the same
But don't play the fool and we'll both win this game
I want to do right by you but you mustn't do wrong by me
Hugh Alan Cornwell (nato il 28 aprile 1949) è un cantautore e chitarrista britannico, noto soprattutto per essere stato il frontman e chitarrista principale dei The Stranglers dal 1974 al 1990. Cornwell ha contribuito a definire l'immagine musicale del gruppo con la sua voce roca e le sue melodie dark, influenzate da punk rock, new wave e musica classica. Durante la sua permanenza negli Stranglers, ha scritto alcuni dei loro brani più iconici come "Always the Sun", "Golden Brown" e "No More Heroes". Dopo aver lasciato il gruppo nel 1990, Cornwell si è dedicato alla carriera solista, pubblicando oltre dieci album in studio. La sua musica da solista mantiene le caratteristiche distintive del suo stile: melodie accattivanti, testi introspettivi e un'atmosfera dark che lo hanno reso uno dei cantautori più apprezzati della scena britannica. Tra i suoi album solista più noti figurano "Hooverville" (1990) e "The Ballad of the Great Divide" (2006).
