Story behind the song
I felt that Steve was standing behind me the whole of today helping me along the way...Thankyou S and I miss you..:-)
Steve sent me this piece of music too long ago to remember but everytime I opened it up I drew a blank with lyrics..After he left us I opened it up and lyrics began to form but my heart was`nt in it and it sat around on the shelf with a lot of others.. Today, 24th August, is the first time since just after he died back in January that I`ve felt that I could finish the song...I have Phil Lane, "darkblueman" to thank for the subtle kick in the pants to sing again...Thankyou...So, here it is, the first song of my sixties..Originally titled "Levison Blade" by Steve and now called "Tamed the tiger".
Lyrics
Lyrics
They say he`s a lovely man...
And that he`s cheerful...
But that ain`t the man I know...
That makes me tearful...
?
I guess this is what it took...
They cracked the whip and they tamed the tiger...
They tamed the tiger...
They cracked the whip and they tamed the tiger...
WoooaW...
?
They tamed the tiger...
They cracked the whip and they tamed the tiger...
We led him gently by the hand...
And left him in a strange, new land...
That is how we tamed the tiger...
That is how we tamed the tiger...
We tamed the tiger...
His ship is drifting now...
The anchor broke, there`s no wind to fill the sails...
And when he cries out, it`s to no avail...
We cracked the whip...
We cracked the whip...
?
We cracked the whip...
?
He did`nt see it coming...
He did`nt have a clue...
Last thing that he expected...
From me and from you...
That is how we tamed the tiger...
That is how we tamed the tiger...
That is how we tamed the tiger...
We tamed the tiger...
That is how we tamed the tiger...
