Day 21 - Tiger
[Embed For Use By Upgraded+]


Tiger featured on the 1976 album Arrival. The song is a relative unknown, largely because it was buried on side two of the original LP between the even less well known “Why Did It Have to Be Me?” and, rather bizarrely, the title track “Arrival”.

The only popular song on side two of the LP was “Money, Money, Money”, and there have been instances of original LPs being found in second hand shops here in the UK where the vinyl is more worn down where “Money, Money, Money” is than on the rest of side two.

Tiger was never released as a single, and as far as I know, it was never even featured on the B-side of a single. It continued to be part of the album through all of its many re-releases.


Lyrics

The city is a jungle,
you better take care
Never walk alone after midnight
If you don't believe it
you better beware of me

I am behind you,
I always find you,
I am the tiger
People who fear me
never go near me,
I am the tiger

The city is a nightmare,
a horrible dream
Some of us will dream it forever
Look around the corner
and try not to scream it's me

I always find you,
I am the tiger
People who fear me
never go near me,
I am the tiger

Yellow eyes are glowing like the neon lights
Yellow eyes the spotlights of the city nights

I always find you,
I am the tiger
People who fear me
never go near me,
I am the tiger

The city is a prison,
you never escape
You're forever trapped in the alleys
Look into the shadows
and you'll see the shape of me

I always find you,
I am the tiger
People who fear me
never go near me,
I am the tiger

Yellow eyes are glowing like the neon lights
Yellow eyes, the spotlights of the city nights

I always find you,
I am the tiger
People who fear me
never go near me,
I am the tiger

And if I meet you,
what if I eat you,
I am the tiger
I am behind you,
I'll always find you,
I am the tiger
Tiger, tiger, tiger
