Biografía:
The Stranglers siempre supieron, unas veces más afortunadas que otras, especialmente en su primera y fenomenal etapa, pero casi siempre con interés, acomodarse a las tendencias sonoras del momento.
Así, con influencias de la Velvet Underground, Television, The Kinks, Zappa, The Rolling Stones, The Doors o, en general, el garage-rock/proto-punk 60’s, pasaron con facilidad del pub rock al punk, la new wave o al pop de sintetizadores, en una larga carrera principiada a mediados de los años 70.

DAGENHAM DAVE (STRANGLERS)
INTRO: E B A x2 D A E x2
VERSE:
E B A E B A
Dave was from out of town Manchester’s likely too
D A E D A E
Had read De Sade to Marx More read than me or you
E B A E B A
Scaffolding pays good bread It pays for drugs and kicks
D A E D A E
Dave only had one love had no real need for chicks
F# G A F# G A F#
Dave was so far ahead but now he’s dead
CHORUS:
E B A D A E
I’m not going to cry I bet he hit the water high
I’m not going to cry I bet he hit the water high
VERSE:
I guess he lost control, and welcomed in the night
It was too much for him, what were his thoughts that night?
The river thames is cold, it keeps on flowing on
But it left Dave alone, it just kept flowing on.
F# G A F# G A F#
There’s city sickness here but now he’s dead
CHORUS:
E B A D A E
I’m not going to cry I bet he hit the water high
I’m not going to cry I bet he hit the water high
BREAK:
G# A B C#
Late night a street in the west of the city
There was a place there where he lost himself
Strange feelings did he feel there, strange people
Did he meet there, angry sounds did he hear there
D A
Like the howling of bulls…..
CHORUS:
E B A D A E
I’m not going to cry I bet he hit the water high
I’m not going to cry I bet he hit the water high
