This song was originally intended for the scrapped album Back to Saturn X in 1992. In addition, a full-band version of this song called “Spring Tigers” was considered for the early Propeller tracklist The Corpse-Like Sleep of Stupidity. That version would eventually be released on the four-disc Suit...
[Verse 1]
In the evening
She calls for time, a beckoning
Upon each cozy corner
Talking rhymes, a cock in here
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh
[Verse 2]
In the morning
She crosses lines, a cocking ridge
A factory moment
A child in chime, a rocking hitch
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh
[Verse 3]
If you chance to break your neck
Upon the slippery, what the heck
With older boys who stand in line
And break their necks all the time
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh
Oh, oh oh, oh oh
[Verse 4]
And so take another drink
Everybody, please stand back
And pray godspeed, and dare to move
La la la, lo lo lo
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh
Gurgling, gurgling all the way home
Spring Tiger was written by Robert Pollard.
