The Bluetones
"Tiger Lily"


Baby's talking, it's what she does best.
I'll just sit and agree.
Florid insults glide out on her breath.
Mostly 'bout me.

She says âЂŒCan't you see past the mirror some times?âЂќ
âЂŒTake a look at your peers.âЂќ
âЂŒStretching out all their half-arsed ideas into half-arsed careers.âЂќ

Tiger Lily it's four in the morning.
Tiger Lily you've got to stop calling me.
Can't catch up with the hours you keep.
Tiger Lily just go back to sleep.
How d'you keep up with all that goes on?
Names and dates set me reeling.
But when you dial those numbers that tally with mine, did you notice the time?
Where did it go?

Now it's twilight outside and we talked half the night.
And what did we say?
Luck can change maybe today.

Baby's talking, it's what she does best.
I'll just sit and agree.
Contradictions glide out on her breath.
Mostly 'bout me.
And where went the time?
Now it's twilight outside and we talked half the night.
And what did we say?
Luck can change maybe today.
