Lyrics The Tiger Lillies

The Tiger Lillies

Hypocrites

So northwards their ship did sail

The mariner he did not fail

The bird the omen of good luck

For it they did not give a fuck

Hypocrites one and all now on call

Well when their ship it was becalmed

That’s when the mariner did the harm

He shot their lucky omen down

The mariner they want him drowned

Those hypocrites want their revenge

The albatross must be avenged

The mariner their Anti-Christ

Now their hatred they do splice

The albatross around his neck

around his neck is hung

The mariner’s a scapegoat curses at him flung
