Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lays me down, with my mind she runs
Throughout the night, no need to fight
Never a frown with golden brown
Every time, just like the last
On her ship tied to the mast
To distant lands, takes both my hands
Golden brown, finer temptress
Through the ages, she's heading west
From far away, stays for a day
Never a frown with golden brown
Da-da, da-da, da-da, da-da
Never a frown with golden brown (never a frown with golden brown)
Never a frown with golden brown (never a frown with golden brown)
Never a frown with golden brown (never a frown with golden brown)
Never a frown with golden brown (never a frown with golden brown)
Never a frown with golden brown (never a frown with golden brown)
The Stranglers’ “Golden Brown” is a song that captivates and lures in listeners with its mesmerizing melody and lyrics. The song begins with the line “Golden brown, texture like sun,” which immediately sets the scene for a blissful, radiant feeling. The lyrics describe a woman who takes the singer on a journey throughout the night, allowing him to explore different places and experiences. She is referred to as a “finer temptress” and is said to be “heading west through the ages.”
The ship tied to the mast mentioned in the lyrics suggests that the singer is somewhat helpless and at the mercy of this woman’s allure. The repetition of the line “never a frown with golden brown” reinforces the idea that the experience with her is nothing but positive and joyous. However, there is a hint of melancholy in the lyrics as they describe a fleeting encounter with this captivating woman who stays for just a day before moving on to her next adventure.
Overall, the song can be interpreted in various ways, but it ultimately speaks to the allure of temptation and the fleeting nature of certain experiences. The enchanting melody coupled with the lyrics make “Golden Brown” a timeless classic that continues to resonate with listeners today.

Today I am 22 days sober!
I was asked to write my goodbye to Heroin & did a play off this song which I listened to throughout my addiction….
Golden brown, from the cartel
Knocks me out, with my mind it numbs me out
All through the nigh, no need to fight
Never a frown with Golden Brown
Every time, just like the last
Slavery, supply running out fast
Starting to lie, stealing all in sight
Beginning to frown on Golden Brown
Golden Brown, running my life
Throughout my years, heading fast south
No end in sight, no strength to fight
Please end my life, Oh Golden Brown
My God pulls me out, I’m willing to change
Treatment is Hell, fighting for my own life
Temptations surround, I push them all out
I’m ALIVE without golden brown!

The songs about heroin?
@cviasco8571
@@engelberthumperdinck2235 it’s not, it’s actually a cover
@lilwelfarecheck3626
@@cviasco8571 first of all, it’s not a cover. Second of all it is very much about doing heroin ( the stranglers have said it before). And third why would it being a cover stop the meaning of the song?
