If I won the Lottery I would maybe go? But I'm not good at Sea, I'm haunted by getting terrible Sea Sick on a Boat from Zanzibar to Darasalam in Tanzania, it was the trip from Hell. Lt Kudu.

Re: Cruising with the Stranglers
Very Good with the water songs lol...it would certainly be appropriate to start the gig with Toiler lol
I actually quite like swim as a song sung well from Paul.
Re: Cruising with the Stranglers
Yes I definitely think Swim should have made About time.
Re: Cruising with the Stranglers
Brilliant keys from Dave as well!

Re: Cruising with the Stranglers
Agreed without question it should of made the album,i have always loved that track which was a very underestimated song i feel,i wasn't Paul's biggest fan in the Stranglers but saying that he sang song's for this band that only he could of done as good as they were.
For me some of Paul's best stranglers song's that spring straight to mind would be the likes of Tuckers Grave,Here,In Heaven She Walks,Lies and Deception,Heaven or Hell and the whole NC album being just a few where i feel Paul did stamp his class and authority to them.

Re: Cruising with the Stranglers
Yes Paul gets a raw deal, but his performance on the NC album was great, such a great voice, Tuckers Grave just brilliant and Mine All Mine. Shame it all went sour, he never fell out with Jet, it was the issue with JJ, but it's in past pointless going on about it. But JJ is or was a hard man to please I think, but he's mellowed big time.

Re: Cruising with the Stranglers
I never really liked Tucker's Grave that much. I've always found it a bit boring. I'll dig out Norfolk coast and give it another listen in the car.

Re: Cruising with the Stranglers
I'm not sure that "Swim" would have added anything at all to About Time. As much as I love Dave's keyboard playing, the intro to "Swim" sounds like something you'd hear playing in the background of an arcade in Blackpool. It's a really corny keyboard sound.

Postponed till 2023, gives us another year to decide it’s still too expensive to go on.
Then I got tired of counting all of these blessings, and then I just got tired.
