Tiger Lillies - Tiger Lillie Line
G C
Things are getting hard now,
G C
Getting hard to find.
G C
Your livers piccalilli,
G C
Your kidneys are unkind.
G C
Wake up every morning,
G C
You'd lie if you felt fine,
G C
Stick you fingers down your throat now,
G C
nihilistically inclined.
Am D G C
That's the Tiger Lillie line.
G C
You're hungry for the glory,
G C
On the radio you'd mime.
G C
The alcohol consumes you,
G C
Piccalilli is your mind.
G C
They're feasting at the table,
G C
But only scraps and crumbs you find.
G C
You're angry and you're bitter,
G C
Your hat is full of dimes
Am D G C
Well that's the Tiger Lillie line
G C
You wake up every morning
G C
When the clock forgets to chime
G C
You go to sleep each evening,
G C
With the whiskey and the wine
Am D G C G C
That's the Tiger Lillie line
Am D G C G C
That's the Tiger Lillie line
Am D G C G
That's the Tiger Lillie line
C G C G...
Tiger Lillie line...
