Neko Case - Tigers Are Noble lyrics

Neko : This is a sad song, about tigers. Carolyn : Let's champion the tigers. Neko : Let's champion the tiger 'cause. You know, I think that maybe I wrote this song for many reasons But I was telling them earlier, I was in a cab in Toronto the other day And the CBC was on and they were talking to a lady Who specializes in animal husbandry And she takes care of the tigers at The Toronto Zoo. And they said "Well do you ever reintroduce the tigers?" And she goes "Well, no, because their habitat can't sustain them." And immediately I thought to myself tigers.' We don't need them. We're not doing anything with them. Tigers are, tigers are... Carolyn : Noble! Male voice : Hungry! Neko : Noble, and sleek Children are loud and messy I was one of those children If I were to become tiger food It would've been more noble than Carolyn : Heavy! Neko : Anyway Probably ruined the song for you now But we'll still play it for you anyway
