About

The title “Ex-Lion Tamer” is a reference to the song’s original lyrics, which were completely different and involved a lion tamer. At some point the band scrapped them entirely and wrote new ones, and instead of giving the track a new name, they simply added the “Ex-” in front of its working title.

Ex Lion Tamer Lyrics

[Verse 1]
There's great danger (danger)
For the loneliest ranger in town
No silver bullets (bullets)
Tonto's split the scene

[Chorus]
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 (TV)

[Verse 2]
There's great danger (danger)
At hand most caped crusader of all
No cloak of justice (justice)
Robin's quit the scene

[Chorus]
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 (TV)
(TV) Stay glued to your TV set, oh (TV)
(TV) Stay glued to your TV set, oh (TV)
(TV) Stay glued to your TV set, oh (TV)
(TV) Stay glued to your TV set
(TV) Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
(TV) Stay glued to your TV set
(TV) Oh, why, don't ya, don't ya, don't ya?
(TV) Stay glued to your TV set (TV)
(TV) Stay glued to your TV set
(TV) Oh, why, don't ya, don't ya, don't ya?
(TV) Stay glued to that and your TV set (TV)
