The first track on Stranglers in the Night and a staple of the live tracklist since, the song is a clear pastiche of the tears in rain monologue from the film Blade Runner, something that is even more clear in an early demo of the track that outright samples the speech.
My eyes have gazed upon things
You couldn't even imagine
Neon storms on the airstrips at Sales Marsh
I saw hope in King Gomez Cape of eyes
Before the Ten Year Fog
Alas these things will disappear
Like shifting sands in an ocean's bed
Time to die
Time to die
Time to Die was written by Dave Greenfield & Jean-Jacques Burnel & Jet Black (Stranglers drummer) & John Ellis & Paul Roberts (UK).
Time to Die was produced by Mike Kemp.
