There has been much controversy surrounding the lyrics. In his 2001 book The Stranglers Song By Song, Hugh Cornwell clearly states "'Golden Brown' works on two levels. It's about heroin and also about a girl". Essentially the lyrics describe how "both provided me with pleasurable times".[3

Does anyone remember when Dexys were on TOTP and playing 'Jackie Wilson Said'?

A mis-informed studio VT engineer had a pic of seminal darts player Jockey Wilson on the backdrop as the band played. If only the same mistake would have been made with 'Come On Eileen'.

Didnt mean to sound like a pr*ck so sorry. I think mate thats why they disguised it in that guise. The song by Johhny Cash "Hurt" is also about heroin. I think the song from the 80's White lines is about Cocaine as is the quite obvious song "cocaine" buy Eric Clapton
