Tiger in the nite
I see your cap is sinking low
Your eyes a fuzzy light
And the gash across your face they call a smile
Is cracking at the edges, boy
You're running out of steam
Belly pulled up tight
A boozer ‘til your dying day
Ready for a fight
And a ladykiller in your way
But look out, pop, they're tougher now
And you know what I mean
Tiger come on home
Your woman says she needs you
You're on the bum too long
And the government won't feed you
Take off your boots, your running days are over
The lads are gone and the pubs are pushing clover
All around you
You used to be the cleanest cat to walk a city mile
Play it down, you're getting old you're losing style
The cops all said you surely was the toughest in your time
Your legend's made and anyway your pinball game's sublime
Tiger in the nite
I see your cap is sinking low
Your eyes a fuzzy light
And the gash across your face they call a smile
Is cracking at the edges, boy
You're running out of steam
Tiger come on home
Tiger come on home
Tiger come on home
Your woman says she needs you
You're on the bum too long
And the government won't feed you
Take off your boots, your running days are over
The lads are gone and the pubs are pushing clover
All around
Tiger come on home
Your woman says she needs you
Your friends are dead and gone
And the government won't feed you
Tiger come on home
Your woman says she needs you, boy
Your friends are dead and gone
And the government won't feed you anymore
