Tiger the Lion — текст песни (Tragically Hip)

This is Tiger the Lion
gimme the Knuckles of Frisco
- If there`s danger in the language,
gentlemen,
I suggest no further use of
the two-way radio.
`John Cage had come to feel
that art in our time
was far less important
than our daily lives,
to which so many`d become
more or less inclined.
The purpose of it`s not unique.
Not to build masterpieces
for a delectative elite
but simply to wake to your life.`*

You`ll be serving the song
when you find out you won`t change
serving the song
walking the range.

`John Cage had come to feel
art in our time
was much less important
than our daily life
If there`s a perpetual plan
for discovery days
where everyone can take part
in what he called
purposeless play
and there`s a sign of life in this play
not to get order from chaos
tell you how to create
but simply to wake to your life.`

You`ll be serving the song
when we find out you won`t change
serving the song
bombing the range

This is Tiger the Lion
get me Into the Pillows
- If you`re painted by radar, gentlemen,
there`ll be no further use of
the two-way radio
