I don't have a clue who The Stranglers' keyboardist was, which is odd, as he was the most important member.

I remember he looked like a comedy Scouser.

Even the packaging looks '80s.

Quite Foetus.

Quite Test Dept.

Dave Greenfield, a man who looked like he'd never seen a green field in his life.

Don't remember that keyboards bit at the end.

Great song this.

Rudimentary songwriting.

A reference to the La Brea Tar Pits is always welcome.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Tue Apr 28, 2020 7:22 pm

This is the sort of song you write when you've never written a song before.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Tue Apr 28, 2020 7:22 pm

The keyboards have arrived to save it. cheer

I remember the La Brea Tar Pits very well from when I was little. happy

I get the feeling the keyboardist was a fan of Steely Dan's Do it Again.
