Yes, this is basically what I said, except the part I disagree with is that Hugh "refined" the song. He took a series of chord sequences, arranged them into the order we know and love today and then wrote the lyrics and the "top line", which in publishing terms is the song. I'm not denying Dave's importance to "Golden Brown" at all (to do so would be ludicrous, and the keyboard playing - as with many a Stranglers track - is a huge part of the appeal of the song) but Hugh wrote the actual "song" part, using Dave's ideas as a springboard for that. As ever, I'm glad that they split the publishing equally on this and on other Stranglers tracks - I could well imagine the arguments that could possibly have ensued if they hadn't.
So you think he took Dave’s inspiration, added a few words and then tried claiming he wrote the song.
No wait that wasn’t Hugh, it’s just your distorted fanboy perception.
Hilarious
Then I got tired of counting all of these blessings, and then I just got tired.

"Added a few words" is a bit of an understatement, given that Hugh wrote ALL of the words and the top line. That isn't "refinement", it's writing the fucking song.

I'm glad to see that you agree with me - I mean, of course you would because it's unarguable.

I’m clearly laughing at you and your lack of credibility, you’re just not up to recognising it

The word you're looking for is "credibility" (as mentioned in The Stranglers' song "Dead Ringer", you may be aware of it) and it's "you're" ... I'll forgive you the lapse in grammar if you realise that I don't make posts on here specifically to please you.

Also, just noticed this swift piece of editing. A bit rich coming from the person who espoused on here 10 months ago that all MKII albums were better than the majority of the albums released around the same time, before going onto name your favourite MKII album as Coup de Grace. I mean, that's certainly an opinion. I prefer to deal in facts.

How many albums are released each year?
Even 10 and Written in Red (as the worst MkI and II albums) are comfortably better than half of those released in those years (so the majority of them). FACT.
