Walk Like a Panther Lyrics
[Verse]
Marie has set up home
With a man who's half my age
A halfwit in a leotard
Stands on my stage
[Pre-Chorus]
The standards have fallen
My value has dropped
But don't shed a tear
Some walk like they own the place
Whilst others creep in fear
Try if you can to walk like a man
But you don't come near
[Chorus]
You've got to fly like an eagle
Prowl like a lion in Africa
Leap like a salmon
Home from the sea
To keep up with me
You've got to walk like a panther tonight
Walk like a panther tonight
[Verse]
The old hometown just looks the same
Like a derelict man who had died out of shame
Like a jumble sale left out in the rain
It's not good, it's not right
[Pre-Chorus]
The standards have fallen
My value has dropped
But don't shed a tear
Some walk like they own the place
Whilst others creep in fear
Try if you can to walk like a man
But you, you don't come near
[Chorus]
You've got to fly like an eagle
Prowl like a lion in Africa
Leap like a salmon
Home from the sea
To keep up with me
You've got to walk like a panther tonight
Walk like a panther tonight
[Verse]
Where did you leave all self-respect?
You look like a reptile, your house is a wreck
Your existence an insult
Stains that are suspect cover your clothes
[Pre-Chorus]
The standards have fallen
My value has dropped
But don't shed a tear
Some walk like they own the place
Whilst others creep in fear
Try if you can to walk like a man
But you, you don't come near
[Chorus]
You've got to fly like an eagle
Prowl like a lion in Africa
Leap like a salmon
Home from the sea
To keep up with me
You've got to walk like a panther tonight
[Outro]
Walk like a panther tonight
Walk like a panther tonight
Walk like a panther tonight
You've got to walk like a panther
Walk like a panther tonight
Tonight
Tonight
Walk like a panther tonight
Marie has set up home
With a man who's half my age
A halfwit in a leotard
Stands on my stage
The standards have fallen
My value has dropped
But don't shed a tear
Some walk like they own the place
Whilst others creep in fear
Try if you can to walk like a man
But you don't come near
You've got to fly like an eagle
Prowl like a lion in Africa
Leap like a salmon
Home from the sea
To keep up with me
You've got to walk like a panther tonight
Walk like a panther tonight
The old hometown just looks the same
Like a derelict man who had died out of shame
Like a jumble sale left out in the rain
It's not good, it's not right
The standards have fallen
My value has dropped
But don't shed a tear
Some walk like they own the place
Whilst others creep in fear
Try if you can to walk like a man
But you, you don't come near
You've got to fly like an eagle
Prowl like a lion in Africa
Leap like a salmon
Home from the sea
To keep up with me
You've got to walk like a panther tonight
Walk like a panther tonight
Where did you leave all self-respect?
You look like a reptile, your house is a wreck
Your existence an insult
Stains that are suspect cover your clothes
The standards have fallen
My value has dropped
But don't shed a tear
Some walk like they own the place
Whilst others creep in fear
Try if you can to walk like a man
But you, you don't come near
You've got to fly like an eagle
Prowl like a lion in Africa
Leap like a salmon
Home from the sea
To keep up with me
You've got to walk like a panther tonight
Walk like a panther tonight
Walk like a panther tonight
Walk like a panther tonight
Walk like a panther tonight
Tonight
Walk like a panther tonight

Walk Like a Panther album description: It is a film with a little fun and lots of thin British sense of humor. It is rather a drama than a comedy as it is positioned. Though, you know, there is not a single comedy from the UK that would not be a drama too. There is always drama in UK’s comedies, we really don’t know why. You get the same downhill mood after watching it as you do after continuous listening to ‘Twilight’ by Frédéric Chopin. Very sad, as if something good and lasting ends, to which you were connected for a reasonable amount of years. In the film, this is the end of a local bar The Half Nelson, which is about to close.
