Today i sadly got the message about Dave Greenfields death. Without Dave Greenfield The Stranglers were not The Stranglers they were. Dave Greenfield was an awesome and so unique keyboard artist, surely one of the best in the world. Dave, we never will forget you. R I P Dave Greenfield.
As a 14yr old in 1985 this is the single that got me into The Stranglers. Over the following months i bought all their LP's with my pocket money, but none had any lyrics inside....so sometime later when they were all released on CD...i nicked all the inlay books from inside em in 1 visit😀😁😂 ( i couldnt afford the disc ) The best musical discovery of my life.
Für mich einer der besten Songs dieser äußerst bemerkenswerten Band - jeder für sich ist eine echte Persönlichkeit . Das macht wohl auch den absolut authentischen Sound der Stranglers aus - aber das Keyboard-Spiel von Mr. Greenfield hat die ganze Sache magisch elektrisiert . Ein Hoch auf alle und vielen Dank für diese Klänge und Echtheit !!!
Many people tell you that they're your friend You believe them You need them For what's round the river bend Make sure that you're receiving the signals they send 'Cause brother, you've only got two hands to lend Maybe there's someone who makes you weep And some nights loom up ahead When you're asleep Some days there's things on your mind you should keep Sometimes, it's tougher to look than to leap better watch out for the skin deep (Ooh-ooh) better watch out for the skin deep (Brother, watch out) watch out for the skin deep (Brother, watch out) watch out for the skin deep Better watch out for the skin deep One day, the track that you're climbing gets steep Your emotions are frayed And your nerves are starting to creep Just remember the days As long as the time that you keep Brother, you better watch out for the skin deep better watch out for the skin deep (Ooh-ooh) better watch out for the skin deep (Brother, watch out) watch out for the skin deep (Brother, watch out) watch out for the skin deep Better watch out for the skin deep watch out for the skin deep (Brother, watch out) watch out for the skin deep Better watch out for the skin deep
Many people. Do. Often Say that They are Your Friend But It Is True Some Time's You Have to Watch Out For The Skin Deep just How True This Song Can Be Some Time's
Lata 80te, Lista Przebojów w Trójce, muza, życie codzienne, wszystko czym wtedy żyliśmy... Napisałem i wydałem o tym książkę "Mój rok 1984". "Skin deep" to był jeden z moich hitów jesieni '84. Wysłuchałem tego jakieś 150 razy w ciągu miesiąca:) Zachęcam do lektury, pozdrawiam, Artur
LOL?! They were & still are (sadly!) massively hugely underrated, the man is right! You can get mad sll you want (and all of us here are fans & we wish that they weren't so underrated but instead hugely mainstreamly popular but that just simply never was the case!) and it is-what it is!
I love this country like my father did, when he made his last holydays before we lost him to cancer. Dear Scots, keep up your tradition, identity and maybe someday your independence.
I agree. Hugh was by far the best front man ever. I saw the Stranglers a few months ago and it was the first time I have seen them since Hugh left. Although they are still a great band they really miss a frontman ( especially Hugh !!) I was lucky enough to see Mark 1 Stranglers nine times and although he got more distant towards the end of the 80's Hugh was the coolest , wittiest , menacing and intelligent frontmen I ever saw . His moves were not groovy at all though !!
I saw Hugh earlier this week at the Brickyard, Carlisle. He opened the second set of the gif with this song followed by a whole load of classic Stranglers tracks. Brill
Back in 85 I was having a really terrible trip until by chance this clip came on the TV and changed my head space entirely. For some strange reason it cheered me right up. Guess you had to be there.
Totally understand sir! BTW - love the username. You could even call yourself Squarey McSquareface. Can't imagine where I got that idea from... Just a thought :-)
Skin deep is one of my favourite tunes from the stranglers that was when musicians knew how to make great songs for their fans I go back to hearing all of these songs all over again thanks to the stranglers for bringing such great music for us all to listen to I loved this song away back in 1985 I think when this song hit the uk charts well done guys Colin Corcoran
I heard this song on the Jimmy Saville show on a Sunday years ago on the radio, and ever since then, it has, and always will be my favourite song. Never get tired of it.
Take Jimmy Saville out of your comment and I agree. Also, that sick pedo murderer should never be mentioned in the same breath as this pure gold and genius band. Just a thought...
I'm 66 years young now and their music and lyrics still excellent long live the Stranglers ❤
Many more to You Pops!
Great track, nobody knows what flipping the disk means.
Same. We lived through the best eras of music. 👍
Totally agreeing..our era had the ground breaking..and now...😢
Timeless classic.
Bin 55 und sie haben mich bis jetzt begleite in meinem verrückten Leben
👍
I'm 16 again. What joy. Girls, cars a few bourbons and some Stranglers. I'm happy indeed!!!
Some brandy and The Stranglers!
A real revolutionary 😂
Great Song, Great Band.. one stranglers song a day, keeps the doctor away..
The Genius Of The Stranglers.
RIP Jet black 🥁 and RIP Dave Greenfield 🎹 a great loss to the music world 🌎.

Many people tell you that they're your friend
You believe them
You need them
For what's round the river bend
Make sure that you're receiving the signals they send
'Cause brother, you've only got two hands to lend
Maybe there's someone who makes you weep
And some nights loom up ahead
When you're asleep
Some days there's things on your mind you should keep
Sometimes, it's tougher to look than to leap
better watch out for the skin deep
(Ooh-ooh) better watch out for the skin deep
(Brother, watch out) watch out for the skin deep
(Brother, watch out) watch out for the skin deep
Better watch out for the skin deep
One day, the track that you're climbing gets steep
Your emotions are frayed
And your nerves are starting to creep
Just remember the days
As long as the time that you keep
Brother, you better watch out for the skin deep
better watch out for the skin deep
(Ooh-ooh) better watch out for the skin deep
(Brother, watch out) watch out for the skin deep
(Brother, watch out) watch out for the skin deep
Better watch out for the skin deep
watch out for the skin deep
(Brother, watch out) watch out for the skin deep
Better watch out for the skin deep
Yes brother, that's exactly what he's saying and truthfully he speaks 👍
Live and learn ☹️
Many people. Do. Often Say that They are Your Friend But It Is True Some Time's You Have to Watch Out For The Skin Deep just How True This Song Can Be Some Time's

At the top of their game. Just fantastic. ☺
Only underated by the ignorant.
How do you know they're underrated? Did you travel the globe taking a poll?
LOL?! They were & still are (sadly!) massively hugely underrated, the man is right! You can get mad sll you want (and all of us here are fans & we wish that they weren't so underrated but instead hugely mainstreamly popular but that just simply never was the case!) and it is-what it is!
A fantastic group 😊
Love the way they all look into the camera! Brilliant song!
Hartley hare was a creepy looking bastard.
RIP DAVE. Much more than 96 tears for Dave, such a massive part of my life.

One of the greatest bands ever! Hugh Cornwall best frontman!

So true
Too right super group
I saw Hugh earlier this week at the Brickyard, Carlisle. He opened the second set of the gif with this song followed by a whole load of classic Stranglers tracks. Brill
Da ist soviel Wahrheit im Text. Hab das selbst erlebt im Juni 1999.
This is sublime. Quite brilliant.
saw these guy's live on the isle of man fantastic xx
Back in 85 I was having a really terrible trip until by chance this clip came on the TV
and changed my head space entirely. For some strange reason it cheered me right up. Guess you had to be there.

Squarey Square Ya i get what u mean....If i'm having a bad day i like to listen to Day By Day by DOUG & THE SLUGS .... Totally puts me in a good mood.

It’s only later in life you can look back at events in your life and see the skin deep all around us . Oms 😊
Seen the Stranglers at least 15 times live. JJ said to me: "We're growing old together".
Great band, that bass is brilliant, i was 13 when this was realesed, great days...

The Video is from 1984, a year of great Music!

Keep coming back again and again for this song. Makes more sense the older I get.
Total quality a great song from a band that have evolved to a national treasure thanks for sharing this video
I heard this song on the Jimmy Saville show on a Sunday years ago on the radio, and ever since then, it has, and always will be my favourite song. Never get tired of it.
Take Jimmy Saville out of your comment and I agree.
Also, that sick pedo murderer should never be mentioned in the same breath as this pure gold and genius band. Just a thought...
On my playlist of best ever songs
Among other things, in my opinion this is one of their *Best* songs. The whole video is fantastic! ... *WELL DONE*
I nearly have forgotten about them, what a great band ❤, this is making my day 🎉
Amazingly wellwritten lyrics
I almost never used the volume knob on my radio, till I heard the Stranglers.
