Artist/Band: Stranglers
Lyrics for Song: All Roads Lead To Rome
Lyrics for Album: Original Album Classics [2011]



The streets of tarmac are straight as a die

With steel fingers clawing at the sky

Inside the wall of the citadel

Yellow chariots race

Peasants and their peasants' smells

Hungry enough to touch your face.



The beasts from the end of the century

Adorn themselves with jewellery

Inside the wall of the citadel

Yellow chariots race

Peasants and their peasants' smells

Hungry enough to touch your face.



Their eyes they change colour from grey to green

And when they're blue they weigh the scene

The endless games played in the timeless zone

Remind me all roads lead to Rome.

Inside the wall of the citadel

Yellow chariots race

Peasants and their peasants' smells

Hungry to touch your frightened face.

All roads lead to Rome

All roads lead to Rome

All roads lead to Rome

All roads lead to Rome


All Roads Lead To Rome

Released on the Stranglers' 2011 compilation Original Album Classics, this track exemplifies the band's signature blend of punk energy and melodic sophistication. The song features the group's characteristic driving rhythm section and vocal interplay, characteristic of their work during the late 1970s and early 1980s. While the specific lyrical themes remain open to interpretation, the recording captures the raw intensity and theatrical flair that defined the Stranglers' contribution to the new wave and post-punk movements. It stands as a testament to their ability to fuse aggressive instrumentation with catchy hooks, creating a sound that remains influential in alternative rock history.
