One day you see a strange little girl look at you
One day you see a strange little girl feeling blue
She'd run to the town one day
Leaving home and the country fair
Just beware
When you're there
Strange little girl
She didn't know how to live in a town that was rough
It didn't take long before she knew she'd had enough
Walking home in her wrapped up world
She survived but she's feeling old
And she found all things cold
Strange little girl
Where are you going?
Strange little girl
Where are you going?
Do you know where you could be going?
Walking home in her wrapped up world
She survived but she's feeling old
'Cause she found all things cold
Strange little girl
Where are you going?
Strange little girl
Where are you going?
Do you know where you could be going?
Strange little girl
Where are you going?
Strange little girl
Where are you going?
Do you know where you could be going?

| AntonRoss (On a Soverel 36 sloop, downtown Beaufort, SC) | Posted: Apr 29, 2011 - 08:10 I love this song every time I hear it. So many memories (fond ones) associated with this version. I have to admit, I like Tori's version as well...but a very different vibe. And Golden Brown...LOVE THAT SONG. Good stuff...this is TGIF music for me. Thanks, Bill! |

They had their share of mellow tunes, especially by the early 1980's. It would be nice to hear "No Mercy" as well. |

I want to see if she can do something that doesn't bug me. Do so, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised. The guitars are pretty ferocious, great energy. I heard Tori's version first and this seems slow and tame to me in comparison. |

| agnes (the land of bourbon and horses) | Posted: Feb 03, 2007 - 22:53 IMO: Tori's version kicks the crap out of this one. But , this IS the first time I've heard the original... Hers just has more drive and ferocity behind it. |

I bet he has. I've noticed that a lot of males are unable to appreciate Tori and I count myself in that band of brothers... not being sexist here, I'm a fan of nummerous female artists but Tori just doesn't register with a lot of guys... they hear this annoying tinkling and creepy voice and nothing else. This is a great song and I haven't heard Tori's version but I'll go look for it so I can be more open minded... I want to see if she can do something that doesn't bug me. |

He was dead by the time the Stranglers were going. He was great, just spent four hours cleaning the garage and jamming Tommy Bolin's boxed set. |

Consider, if you will, that Led Zep was formed in 1968 and the Stranglers in 1974. Not exactly worlds apart. To your point, yep, Bob's all over this one. But I like this one better. |

Couldn't quite hear this song because I was a bit away from the speakers, but when I got to my computer I wanted to look up the name of this "Robert Plant" song, thinking it must be off the new album... only to find it's the Stranglers!  |
| cjg (Gerona, Spain) | Posted: Jul 27, 2005 - 10:08 Beastie wrote: Doesn't this guy' voice sound like Robert PLant?
I thought the same at first... then it sortta morphed into some Bowie / Robyn Hitchcock blend... then sortta faded into, well, crap. |
| Helchat (a record store near you) | Posted: Jul 27, 2005 - 10:07 Golden Brown is an amazing song! timeless IMHO... what can I say, I love the album Feline  |
