You can preview tracks at their Myspace page: http://myspace.com/pulltigertail or get their second single "Mr 100 Percent" (released as a free download on December 11th 2006) for free from their website.
Third single, "Let's Lightning" was released Monday March 26th 2007.
The fourth and final B-Unique single, "Hurricanes" was released on 11th June 2007. An iTunes error prevented the single hitting the Top 40, and because of this, B-Unique dropped the band and kept hold of the debut album, resulting in Pull Tiger Tail being involved in a lengthy legal battle to get it back.
In 2008 their official website was relocated to http://www.pulltigertail.net from its old .com address due a spammer stealing the .com address.
On August 18th 2009 after much delay Pull Tiger Tail's debut album "PAWS." was finally released, only for the band to announce that they would split after a mini-tour. The digital-only b-sides and rarities album "The Lost World" was released on 14th December, supposedly an iTunes exclusive, although it has become available on 7digital with different artwork. In 2010, Jack Hamson became the drummer for the folk group Noah and the Whale after the band's drummer Doug Fink left to pursue a career in medicine.
Secret Says
Pull Tiger Tail Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Secret says she might like today
I'm full of sympathy
That's what she needs from me
I tell my secret a story
Secret says they help her sleep at night
I offer reasoning
I want us to survive
I dream of ways to make her think
We're happy all the time
I dream all day
Seeing questions all the time
Instead of gazing in her eyes
She's getting tired of things you do
Getting tired of minding you
I know my secret's trying
I know she doesn't have to understand
She lets me lean on her
She acts as counselor
And though we never argue
Secret has a guideline just for me
Pretend we're friends again
Therefore she counts to ten
I want us to survive
I dream of ways to make her think
We're happy all the time
I dream all day
Seeing questions all the time
Instead of gazing in her eyes
She's getting tired of things you do
Getting tired of minding you
What a line?
Thinking over what she said
She's getting tired of things you do
Getting tired of minding you
I wonder if she'd say
If she was?
A secret?
As much as I like panicking
I want us to survive
I dream of ways to make her think
We're happy all the time
I dream all day
What a line?
Thinking over what she said
She's getting tired of things you do
Getting tired of minding you
She's getting tired of things you do
Getting tired of minding you
The lyrics of Pull Tiger Tail's song "Secret Says" depict a one-sided relationship where one person is constantly seeking the sympathy and attention of the other. The singer, who seems to be the one trying to keep the relationship going, is full of sympathy and offers reasoning to their secret, who apparently doesn't listen to them. It's quite clear that the singer wants the relationship to survive, and dreams about ways to make their secret happy all the time, including pretending to be friends again, albeit with guidelines.
The chorus of the song repeats the same few lines, emphasizing the importance of the relationship surviving and the singer's desire to make their secret happy. The bridge acknowledges the possibility that the secret is getting tired of the singer's actions and is perhaps trying to distance themselves from the relationship. The final lines of the song show the singer questioning their actions and whether the secret is actually a secret or simply someone trying to distance themselves from the singer.
Overall, the lyrics of "Secret Says" present a complex and emotionally charged relationship where one person is desperately trying to hold on to the other.
