Ex Lion Tamer
Wire · Pink Flag [1993]
For the loneliest ranger in town
No silver bullets
Tonto's split the scene
Next week will solve your problems
But now, fish fingers all in a line
The milk bottles stand empty
Stay glued to your TV set
There's great danger
At hand most caped crusader of all
No cloak of justice
Robin's [Incomprehensible]
Next week will solve your problems
But now, fish fingers all in a line
The milk bottles stand empty
Stay glued to your TV set
Stay glued to your TV set
Stay glued to your TV set
Stay glued to your TV set
Stay glued to your TV set
Stay glued to your TV set
Oh, why, don't ya, don't ya, don't ya?
Stay glued to your TV set
Stay glued to your TV set
Oh, why, don't ya, don't ya, don't ya?
Stay glued [Incomprehensible] to your TV set
About Ex Lion Tamer
Wire's "Ex Lion Tamer" stands as a defining track from their 1993 album *Pink Flag*, capturing the band's signature blend of post-punk energy and melodic sensibility. Released during a pivotal era for the group, the song exemplifies their ability to fuse driving rhythms with atmospheric textures, reflecting the raw emotional intensity characteristic of their work in the early 1990s. The recording showcases the band's signature sound, featuring the interplay between guitar and bass that became a hallmark of their discography. As a staple of their live performances and a key part of their catalog, the track remains a powerful representation of Wire's evolution from their earlier experimental roots to a more polished, yet equally urgent, sonic identity. It serves as a testament to their enduring influence within the post-punk revival and alternative rock scenes.
