    Welcome to The Stranglers world! They are one of my top 5 favorite bands of all time. This song came more from their mid period. I am more a fan of their first three albums. This combination with bass and keyboards are absolutely great. Since Dave Greenfields (keyboardist) passing, i am listen more to his keyboard work and it is amazing. I can recommand a cover song named "Walk On By". Enjoy your journey to discover them!

      Saw them a few weeks ago, and seen them numerous times over the years , amazing live band ! My favourite is Duchess .
      Someone on RUclips has managed to lay this track over Dave Brubeck’s Take Five recording from the 60s …. Very clever 👍

    Tied to the mast - think that metaphor refers to the Odyssey, where Odysseus lets his men tie him to the mast because he wants to hear the irresistible tempting song of the sirens

    Dude!!! Over the past 40 years, there are a handful of songs that I still, to this day, put on playlists. This is one of them! Wow! I love this song!
    When this album came out, I was the music director at a campus radio station. We played this song to death. And I love it still.
    Like you, I'm in recovery, after a lifetime of abuse. But I have never done heroin. At least I had the common sense to know how much I would have loved it. And I kept distance. Peas in a pod, you and I.

    From Wikipedia:
    In his 2001 book The Stranglers Song by Song, Cornwell [Hugh, the writer of the lyrics] states: "'Golden Brown' works on two levels. It's about heroin and also about a girl... both provided me with pleasurable times".

    "Never a frown, with Golden Brown." ... Until that fleeting momentary high passes, that is. And then all heroin addict can think of is scrounging around like some demented fiend desperately in search of their next "fix."

    Earlier Stranglers is better imo. When they were more Punk-like. Try No More Heroes or Ugly or Rattus Norvegicus. I saw them in The Gorbals, Glasgow in 1984.
