"Always The Sun" was the Stranglers second single from the album Dreamtime.

It is widely considered as the Stranglers finest song recorded for CBS . Despite this, it only reached number 30 in the UK singles chart.

Hugh Cornwell mentioned in his book The Stranglers Song by Song that he thought it could have been as big as Golden Brown. He recalls going to CBS for a midweek prediction on how the song would chart and was amazed at the bad news. He also wrote "We'd given CBS something great to work with and I could see in this guy's face that he knew he hadn't delivered" giving the impression that Hugh felt that CBS was somewhat to blame for this poor position.
