Coup De Grace
Good bloody grief. In Years gone by at least one hack paid the price for slagging off Guildford's men in black by being wrapped in tape and suspended above the stage at a [a]Stranglers[/a] show....

The Stranglers - No More Heroes: Wikipedia Album Entry
No More Heroes is the second album by The Stranglers, produced by Martin Rushent, and released in 1977 (see 1977 in music). It featured a photo of a wreath placed on a coffin with the tails of several rats (the Stranglers' 'trademark').
The album became one of the band's highest charting releases, peaking at no.2 on the UK album chart, and stayed in the chart for 19 weeks.
The album consists of various recordings left over from the session for their Rattus Norvegicus album, along with new material. In his book The Stranglers: Song by Song, Hugh Cornwell noted the fact that the first three tracks on the record are all sung by different lead vocalists, a trait it shares with Revolver by The Beatles.
Two singles were released from the album: "No More Heroes", and a double A-side of "Something Better Change" and the non-album track "Straighten Out". A further non-album single was released later that year, "Five Minutes"/"Rok It To The Moon". The album was reissued as a remastered CD in 2001, which included the additional tracks from these singles.
The album's title track became one of the band's most popular hits. Its lyrics include references to Leon Trotsky, Sancho Panza, Lenny Bruce and Elmyr de Hory.

The Stranglers - No More Heroes Lyrics
The Stranglers - Something Better Change Lyrics
Don't you like the way, I move when you see me?
Don't you like the things that I say?
Don't you like the way, I seem to enjoy it?
When you shout things but I don't care
The Stranglers - English Towns Lyrics
There is no love inside of me
I gave it to a thousand girls
We build towers of saddened ivory
In our English towns
The Stranglers - No More Heroes Lyrics
Whatever happened to Leon Trotsky?
He got an ice pick that made his ears burn
Whatever happened to dear old Lenny?
The great Elmyra and Sancho Panza?
The Stranglers - Bitching Lyrics
Bitching 'bout the things we've seen
Bitching 'bout the things we've seen
Bitching 'bout the loves we've had
My oh my, it wasn't so bad
