Links Original video:    • Peaches (1996 Remaster)   The Stranglers are an English rock band who emerged via the punk rock scene. Scoring 23 UK top 40 singles and 19 UK top 40 albums to date in a career spanning five decades, the Stranglers are one of the longest-surviving bands to have originated in the UK punk scene. Rattus Norvegicus (alternative title The Stranglers IV) is the debut studio album by the Stranglers, released on 15 April 1977. It was one of the highest-selling albums of the punk era in Britain, eventually achieving platinum record sales. The album was originally going to be titled Dead on Arrival but it was changed at the last minute. The Stranglers IV prefix was a deliberate attempt by the band to cause confusion. The released title is the taxonomic name for the common brown rat. "Peaches" is a single by the Stranglers, track six from their debut studio album Rattus Norvegicus (1977). Notable for its distinctive bassline, the track peaked at No. 8 in the UK Singles Chart. The song's narrator is girl-watching on a crowded beach one hot summer day. It is never made clear if his lascivious thoughts (such as "there goes a girl and a half") are an interior monologue, comments to his mates, or come-on lines to the attractive women in question. The critic Tom Maginnis wrote that Hugh Cornwell sings with "a lecherous sneer, the sexual tension is so unrelenting as to spill into macho parody or even censor-baiting territory". Lyrics [Verse 1: Hugh Cornwell and all] Strolling along minding my own business Well, there goes a girl and a half She's got me going up and down She's got me going up and down [Chorus: All] Walking on the beaches looking at the peaches [Verse 2: Hugh Cornwell and all] Well, I got the notion, girl That you got some suntan lotion in that bottle of yours Spread it all over my peelin' skin, baby That feels real good All this skirt, lappin' up the sun Lap me up Why don't you come on and lap me up [Chorus: All] Walking on the beaches looking at the peaches [Verse 3: Hugh Cornwell and all] Well, there goes another one just lying down on the sand dunes I'd better go take a swim and see if I can cool down a little bit 'Cause you and me woman We got a lotta things on our minds You know what I mean? [Chorus: All] Walking on the beaches looking at the peaches [Verse 4: Hugh Cornwell and all] Will you just take a look over there (Where?) (There) Is she tryin' to get outta that cli-tar-es? Liberation for women That's what I preach preacher man [Chorus: All] Walking on the beaches looking at the peaches [Bridge: Hugh Cornwell] Oh shit, there goes the charabanc Looks like I'm gonna be stuck here the whole summer Well, what a bummer I can think of a lot worse places to be Like down in the streets or down in the sewer Or even on the end of a skewer [Organ Breakdown] [All and Hugh Cornwell] Down on the beaches just look at all the peaches Down on the beaches just look at all the firm bodies Down on the beaches just look at all the sunglasses Down on the beaches just look at all the peaches Down on the beaches just look at all the peaches Down on the beaches just look at all the peaches Down on the beaches [Outro: Hugh Cornwell] Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm Mm, mm Mm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm
