Original music video for Straighten Out by The Stranglers released as a single on 22nd July 1977. Lyrics: The break of day has come, I see the cracks have just begun To line the walls, line the walls I want to see the little girls and boys destroy their toys And line the walls, line the walls What a fate for little girls British boys minds in a whirl Tell you things that’ll make your curls Straighten out, straighten out Straighten out, straighten out I’m twenty years or more, just tell me what we’re living for So tell me now, tell me now Frustrated intellect, the government capitulation Follows now, follows now What a fate for little girls British boys minds in a whirl Tell you things that’ll make your curls Straighten out, straighten out Straighten out, straighten out The break of day has come, I see the cracks have just begun To line the walls, line the walls I want to see the little girls and boys destroy their toys And line the walls, line the walls What a fate for little girls British boys minds in a whirl Tell you things that’ll make your curls Straighten out, straighten out Straighten out, straighten out Straighten out, straighten out Straighten out, straighten out Written by The Stranglers (Brian John Duffy / David Greenfield / Hugh Alan Cornwell / Jean Jacques Burnel).
