Lions And Tigers Lyrics
L-A-U-G-H, E and there's S
put them in an order and
they become words
words become a sentence
we'll add nouns and verbs
i'd like to make the world for you a better place
but when it pours, it really rains, so
put on your boots, and let's play
leave a trail to their homes
so they can find their way back
if they're ever alone
they eat bananas too fast
lions and the tigers they
hunt in the grass
i'd like to make the world for you a better place
but when it pours, it really rains, so
put on your boots, and let's play
get off on teaching something strong(?)
please learn to rule with your head, not your fist
and those lessons that you learn will carry on
i'd like to make the world for you a better place
but when it pours, it really rains, so
put on your boots, and let's play
i'll be there if you call
it's a long long way to go now
i'll be there if you call
No wonder this hasn't got any comments... it's the weirdest S-K song ever. Does not sound like them at all. Did she write this for her kid? 'Cause it sounds like some sort of jingle you'd get at the start of a children's show. Decent song, I guess.... but not your usual s-k stuff!
i actually deleted this song at first bc i thought it must have said "sleater-kinney" by accident...but nope it's theirs. weird. idk. it has to be for corin's son.
Yes, it's on the bonus disk for one beat. I don't think it sounds so different, just listen to the album "The hot rock" or some of the songs on All Hands. I think it's sweet.
corin has said that she wrote this song for her son
I think its cute. Its definitely for her son. Its her promise as a mother.
I called in to a radio-interview with Corin a few years back and asked her about this song. I'd suspected it was written for her son. She said, however, that it was mostly Carrie's work. She wanted to write something for the new addition to their complex Sleater-Kinney "family." Super, super sweet when you know the story :)
So cute I love this deep cut.
