Golden Brown (3:25)
1,130,094 plays (210,868 listeners)
“Golden Brown” is a song by the English rock band The Stranglers. It was released as a 7” single around late 1981 and early 1982, on Liberty.
There has been much controversy surrounding the lyrics. In his 2001 book The Stranglers Song By Song, Hugh Cornwell clearly states “‘Golden Brown’ works on two levels. It’s about heroin and also about a girl”. Essentially the lyrics describe how “both provided me with pleasurable times.”

I think of that scene from 'Snatch' where Brad Pitt knocks out the guy when he shouldn't have whenever this song plays.
