Spain - The Stranglers

Found a place in the southern reaches

A day or two in a saddle ride

If you’re looking for leather breeches

They’ve got some damn good hides

If you’re looking for the wild country

And you can live without John Wayne

There’s a place that is down in history

Under the name of Spain

Under the name of Spain

If you want to leave the clouds behind you

Take a walk into sunshine

Plenty of it in the southern reaches

Where they’re making future wine

Looks a little like California

Prickly pears and rolling plains

It’s a place I could fly my flag today

Under the name of Spain

Under the name of Spain

We knew that it was love at first sight

Watch them move into the future

Got a lot of catching up to do

Hope they take a lesson from their neighbours

That’ll show 'em what not to do

Should’ve happened for them in the 30's

But the pleasure got caught in pain

Ended up like the bull in the china shop

Under the name of Spain

Under the name of Spain

We knew that it was love at first sight

We knew that it was love at first sight
