Lyrics The Tiger Lillies

The Tiger Lillies

Salvation

And the band play for salvation

The Hackney army tune

And a cripple in a wheel chair

He plays the silver spoons

Well, Jesus is their saviour

They fight the good fight

The drummer who plays with them

He goes home and beats his wife

They're marching down to Soho

wake nocturnal types

And the sinners all around them

They try to show the light

Well, Jesus is their saviour

They fight the good fight

The drummer who plays with them

He goes home and beats his wife

Junkies are withdrawing

They're crouching down in pain

And Jesus ain't the saviour

Just a barrel when they see it again

Jesus ain't their saviour

They won't fight the good fight

They'll just throw away

They'll just throw away

They'll just throw away their lives
