These days JJ is very busy.
What with the stranglers, [E] solo [Eb] acoustic tours, and of [A] course his karate [G] club.
[F] [Am]
So [G] this is the Shidoukan Karate kickboxing dojo.
And there's a couple of my nutty [C] students.
Steve, [G] see.
[E] And Clark here [C] in King's Cross, [Gm] [F] downtown [G] London.
Spunky King's Cross.

Many years ago I sold [F] a couple of records.
And [C] with the ill-begotten gains, all of us bought houses.
And in fact, three of the original four stranglers still live in those same houses.
Jet's still in the same place.
He's still in the same place.
I'm still in the same place in my one and only house.
And it's my right, or privilege or something, as a European, to have a pub 200 metres away from my house.
My right!
And the only problem is my landlord is now called Dave Greenfield.
[G] [C]
[G] [C] [G] [A]
[C] This is the [G] place where I [F] live [C] and [G] the place where [Am] I love.
It was [C] total accident, the connection between me keeping rats and rats in the register.
[Am] One for you.
[G] About 10, 12 years [Cm] ago [G] now, my wife was in a pet shop looking for something for the [A] cat.
It's [Em] all for now.
She saw this big rat there [Ab] that she fell in love [Dm] with, so she took me down and [C] I said yes.
[G]
[Cm] [Em] [A]
We're sitting at the moment in Ev's Bar [G] in the Windmill Pub, Plumbershion, which Pam, my wife and myself took over about a year ago.
Running a pub takes away most of your time for anything.
I've had to give up a fair few [Gb] bits and pieces, obviously.
[Abm] Personal [G] leisure time, I was in for Dog Day's re-enactment before and I've only had time to do a bit of archery since.
I haven't made any shows.
I like to get away from music when I'm not doing music, which is what I do.
When I'm not working professionally, I'm doing other things, reading or writing, whatever.
So I don't sit down and play records or CDs, I haven't done them for decades.
Not because I don't like music, it's just that when I've finished working, I've then got time to do the other things I want to do.
A lot of people have grown up with us and respect us for having carried on and also respect us for what we do.
It's like a little bit like a boyhood dream, you know what I mean?
I love to stand there on the stage and I look [B] across and JJ's [E] standing over there, giving it that.
So [B] it's cool, it's a rush.
We don't have to [E] worry about how [Eb] skin tight our leather is [Ab] or what colour our shoes are or where our highlights are or how many wrinkles we've got.
It's [Bm] not like that.
We do a great job.
We're a kicking live band.
[E] [N] We've got 25 years of great material to fall back on.
It's not the same for us as it is for Britney.
Poor thing.
The Stranglers continue to play sell out gigs and provide audiences with the kind of magic to which only they hold the key.
But the split with Hugh Cornwell was quite acrimonious.
They've hardly spoken since and Hugh wants no association with the Stranglers whatsoever, which is a pity in my view because I was fond of Hugh.
[D] Hey Hugh, [G] you better trouble along [D] I think.
Leave us.
[G]
How [D] many times has a weatherman told you, Snoop, you're that man [G] you love?
[D] You know, like the politicians and the leaders, when they do things [G] well.
[A] Who has the [G] job [A] of [E] pushing the knob?
[G] That's not a [Bm] responsibility to snoop for if you're mad [A] in love.
It's
[Bm] always the [D] sun.
[G] It's always the [Bm] sun.
[D] Always, [Em]
[G] always, always.
