Here There Be Tigers

Here there be tigers, tigers be here

That was the only thing between us

That was the only thing we never hear

Somewhere up the coast, far from ancient states

I heard you say the wave was heavy and weighed you down

As weight tends to do, the way it got to you

You got off watching Hastings St and Hastings got you back

When you were sending all your postcards

How many junkies does it take

To lay a track back home?

Here there be tigers, tigers be here

That was the only thing between us

That was the only thing that was clear

Here there be tigers

Mini tel aviv in south bombay where you slept off the drugs

Nervous from two years service from where they swept you under the rug

That’s the part that hurts, they said you wouldn’t work

You got down on everything ‘cause everyone let you down

Almost to the point where you could not open your mouth up

To say I love, I’ve always loved you

Here there be tigers, tigers be here

That was the only thing between us

That was the only thing that was clear

Here there be tigers
