Artist/Band: Stranglers
Lyrics for Song: Wonderful Land
Lyrics for Album: Jump Over My Shadow [2005]



I found a sepia memory

Outside our house by the sea

Days when the future held everything

Deep in the first sigh of peace

Look at the photograph

Look in the photograph

See how our mothers laughed

Our mothers laughed

Our mothers laughed



Gifts tumble down through history

Wisdom must shine trough the lie

Adam has buried a book for you

Dig deep you'll bring it to the light



The wonderful land



There was a face in the photograph

Bleached by a kiss from the sun

Mother, land, broken, hearts

Bury the photograph

See how our mother laughed

Our mothers laughed

In the wonderful

Wonderful land

A wonderful

Wonderful land

Under Albion's hand

This is a wonderful land

Albion's hand

Under Albion's hand

This is a wonderful land


Stranglers - Wonderful Land

Released on the 2005 compilation Jump Over My Shadow, Wonderful Land showcases the Stranglers' signature blend of post-punk energy and melodic sensibility. The track features the band's characteristic angular guitar work and driving rhythms, delivered with the vocal intensity that defined their career. As a staple of their discography, the song reflects the group's ability to fuse aggressive soundscapes with anthemic hooks. It stands as a representative recording of their mid-career output, capturing the raw power and melodic clarity that made them a cornerstone of the genre. The composition remains a powerful example of their enduring influence on alternative rock and punk music.
