Why I follow the Tigers

Deze track was Madonna’s inspiratie voor Drowned World/Substitute for Love.

Pas na een paar keer luisteren
greep Why I follow the tigers me bij mijn nekvel.
Maar als dat eenmaal gebeurt, laat ie je nooit meer los.

WHY I FOLLOW THE TIGERS van The San Sebastian Strings

You see… it’s this way.
I don’t chase the tigers… I follow them.

Through their forests
down their beaches
into their lairs.

Why ?

Well… why do people look after parades ?
And dance in discotheques ?

They’re all trying to come in from being alone.
They want to be part of the crowd.

Not me exactly… I just don’t want to be alone anymore
but I don’t want to be a part of anybody’s crowd.

Tigers… they don’t bunch up
still… they’re not alone.

I’d sure as Hell rather run with tigers
than hide out with the gophers.
-from the album “For Lovers”
