Skin Deep is a song by British band The Stranglers, released in October 1984 as the lead single from the album Aural Sculpture.
The shimmering and melodic single restored the band to the UK Top 20 after its previous two single releases (from the album Feline) had stalled at #48 and #35. "Skin Deep" narrowly missed the Top 10 in Australia and Ireland, peaking at #11 in both countries.
