Stranglers

The Stranglers are an English rock band who emerged via the punk rock scene. Scoring 23 UK top 40 singles and 19 UK top 40 albums to date in a career spanning five decades, the Stranglers are one of the longest-surviving bands to have originated in the UK punk scene. Formed as the Guildford Stranglers in Guildford, Surrey, in early 1974, they originally built a following within the mid-1970s pub rock scene. While their aggressive, no-compromise attitude had them identified by the media with the emerging UK punk rock scene that followed, their idiosyncratic approach rarely followed any single musical genre, and the group went on to explore a variety of musical styles, from new wave, art rock and gothic rock through the sophisti-pop of some of their 1980s outpu… more »

The city blues they strike again
Another worker drops his pen
He wants to be done
And out on the run
Away from the curse, he'd swap all his worth
To be a man of the earth

For 2 or 3 weeks of the year
An Easter bunny brings Christmas cheer
He's out of his head and toasting the dead
And feeling much worse he'd swap all his worth
To be a man of the earth
To swap all his worth
To be a man of the earth

Words become the man if only he could write sonnet
He'd place his life upon it to be a man of the earth
A man of the earth, he'd swap all his worth
To be a man of the earth

The wife and kids are already there
They're polishing his wicker chair it's looking so bleak
At the end of the week he'll be needing a nurse
He'd swap all his worth to be a man of the earth
A man of the earth

Words become the man if only he could write sonnet
He'd place his life upon it, to be a man of the earth
A man of the earth, he'd swap all his worth
To be a man of the earth

A man of the earth
A man of the earth
A man of the earth
A man of the earth
A man of the earth
A man of the earth
