Don't Bring Harry Lyrics
Harry and me we live in a dream
With a friend like him I don't need enemies
I don't know where morning is
It might not come today
That's the trouble when harry's around
He forces me to play
I should have refused to meet this midnight cheat
He likes to prey on my mind with his own special treat
I don't know when morning comes,
It might not come today.
Harry likes to play all night
I'll do what harry says
Don't bring harry I don't need him around
Don't bring harry I don't need him around
Ah you've met harry - I can see by your eyes
If once there was life there, now there's compromise
Harry is a beast of luxury
He just wants my body and soul - leaves the bones behind
Ah you've met harry - I can see by your eyes
If once there was action - Now there is no life
Don't bring harry I don't need him around
Don't bring harry I don't need him around
With a friend like him I don't need enemies
It might not come today
That's the trouble when harry's around
He forces me to play
He likes to prey on my mind with his own special treat
It might not come today.
Harry likes to play all night
I'll do what harry says
Don't bring harry I don't need him around
If once there was life there, now there's compromise
He just wants my body and soul - leaves the bones behind
If once there was action - Now there is no life
Don't bring harry I don't need him around

This was written by bandmembers for the singer and it is about heroin He had a bastard of a habit and it affected the band's performance
The music for the song is lovely and strangely intoxicating, "Don't Bring Harry" is one of The Stranglers' most psychedelic moments. Harry, I'm assuming, is a personification of Heroin and the singer is singing from the perspective of a recovering junkie.
