"Golden Brown" was a waltzing, harpsichord-led ballad in a 6/8 time signature from The Stranglers. (The instrumental bridges add an extra beat in every other measure, effectively producing a 13/8 time signature), with the 7 inch record featuring B-side "Love 30".

The beat seems to be accented on the first of every three, i.e., 3/4 time, 4/4 on the instrumental bridge. Can anyone confirm?

Yes. It's either 3+3+3+4 or 3+3+3+2+2 (the drum pattern suggests the latter). KovacsUr 22:20, 28 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This song make s me wanna live in the 1800's! Woot.


Undoubtedly the greatest song ever to be produced.....This ode to heroin makes one feel what others may call the eutopian effects of the drug.......without actually taking the drug! This unique piece identifies the glorious alternatives to drug use and with it, the world is a better place! (A.K.S)
