Manic Street Preachers Lyrics for Song: Send Away the Tigers
 Lyrics for Album: Send Away the Tigers [2007]
 
 
 
 15446>There's no hope in the colonies
 
 So catch yourself a lifeline
 
 Things have gone wrong too many times
 
 So catch yourself a slow boat to China
 
 
 
 Fixing some holes from the tiger claws
 
 All your tears will be trembling
 
 Stick those teeth into my back
 
 Seasonal beasts keep them at bay
 
 
 
 Can't something go right
 
 Little things change people's lives
 
 Hostile words won't fill your eyes
 
 Same noise left to destroy
 
 
 
 Loathsome smile, head full of forevers
 
 Will tomorrow bring some perfection
 
 The zoo's been overrun in Baghdad
 
 Tiger claws still in my back
 
 
 
 So send away the tigers
 
 Because we're lonely and we're desperate
 
 So send away the tigers
 
 Because they're creeping up and dangerous
 
 
 
 I've got problems, I've got too many of them
 
 Throw away your yesterdays, I did it all for you
 
 Blank horizons and hotel rooms
 
 Cheap whiskey and god-awful truth
 
 Look at me, I'm honest and free
 
 I was born to underachieve
 
 
 
 So send away the tigers
 
 Because we're lonely and we're desperate
 
 So send away the tigers
 
 Because they're creeping up and dangerous
 
 
 
 So send away the tigers
 
 Because we're lonely and we're desperate
 
 So send away the tigers
 
 Because they're creeping up and dangerous
 
 15446>
