Found the poem to your girlfriend Kudu....

"Let's Just Wait"

"Hey girl, let's just wait,
until that date,
It won't be late,
but until then let's just wait.

Hey girl, let's just wait,
the new album will be great,
but until then let's not tempt fate,
cos haters gonna hate"

This is bloody brilliant, lovely stuff.
A hint of a Percy Bysshe Shelley influence going on here perchance?

I strongly suspect that once the album has been promoted and the tour is over that's it for The Stranglers. Let's enjoy it while it lasts!

You have to consider the hard evidence....Baz has been seen on Instagram wearing a poncey, singer/songwriter cap and a lot of brown...so you could be right....
And JJ wearing red T shirts in interviews!

The towers are crumbling before our very eyes!

At Least Red is better than those terrible grey ones he wears these days, sorry JJ you've been busted by the fashion Police, it beats being busted by the normal Police as that seems to leave you with bruised wrists, as I know to well, but that's another story. Lt Kudu. :smt005

Only the androgynous can get away with red....grey's much better - as long as your antiperspirant is 100% :lol:

I was listening to their Dave acoustic session version which i think is beautiful and it got me thinking just how much i'd love to hear them do an acoustic version of Reap just what you sow with JJ on vocals as after all its his written song that Hugh did so nicely sing.I reackon they would do a beautiful acoustic version today of that song one which i think is one of JJ's best written songs a good tour suggestion.
Also i wish they would play My young dreams that would suit bazes vocals very well,i still play the version that jet recorded the drums too which is a fantastic version in itself let alone if the stranglers was to cover it again a missed gem i feel,but i'm so glad Jet did.

Yes another great one that was a great JJ song back in the day,when you think of how his voice has matured for the better today that the old songs sung today and especially at just how good their acoustic sessions are sounding now i think would sound even better,there's so many from their back catalogue that would be so good to hear again...the mind boggles lol

By matured ..do you mean gone out of Tune?? Girl From the Snow Country would never work acoustically.
