    What is the Stranglers song "Golden Brown" all about?

    Question #94782. Asked by gentlegiant17. (Apr 18 08 4:49 AM)


    BRY2K

    		The band has denied persistent accusations that the lyrics are about heroin use and trade. They claim that different listeners will hear different things in the lyrics. An alternative interpretation is that the song was about Cornwell's Mediterranean girlfriend at the time - with golden brown skin.

    		Golden brown texture like sun
    Lays me down WITH my mind she runs
    Throughout the night
    No need to fight
    Never a frown with golden brown

    Every time just like the last
    On her ship tied to the mast
    To distant lands
    Takes both my hands
    Never a frown with golden brown

    Golden brown finer temptress
    Through the ages she's heading west
    From far away
    Stays for a day
    Never a frown with golden brown

    Never a frown
    With golden brown
    Never a frown
    With golden brown

    This is about the song "2112" alone, not the rest of the album or anything else Rush-related. The epic more than deserves special attention! Questions 1-10 are mainly about the events in the song, 11-15 about the song itself, and 16-20 are lyrics.
