Their surreal style has been described as dark, darkly humorous, strangely humorous, Brechtian, and gypsy cabaret. They are also notorious for singing controversial songs involving bestiality, prostitution and blasphemy.
The Tiger Lillies were originally buskers, playing songs about the criminals, pimps and whores of Soho, London, England. Over time, the band became involved in several theatrical productions around the world, including the critically acclaimed Shockheaded Peter. Known for their intense, outlandish, and dark performances, they have garnered both controversy and critical acclaim.
Also "The Tiger Lillies", "The Tigerlilies" and "The Tigerlillies" may refer to Indie rock band from Cincinnati, Ohio that formed in 1989.

Just Because
The Tiger Lillies Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just because you're sometimes mad
Just because you play the idiot
Just because you're sometimes mad
Just because you knew you ought to
When you never ever would
Doesn't mean you'll never be good
And just because you've got a black heart
Doesn't mean you're always bad
Just because you feel decrepit
Like an old rag
Just because you knew you ought to
When you never ever would
Doesn't mean you'll never be good
And just because you're feeling angry and misunderstood
Just because your acting's awful
it's made of wood
Just because you knew you ought to
When you never ever would
Doesn't mean you'll never be good
It doesn't mean you'll never, doesn't mean you'll never
Doesn't mean you'll never be good
It doesn't mean you'll never, doesn't mean you'll never
Doesn't mean you'll never be good
The Tiger Lillies' song "Just Because" is a contemplative song that speaks to the idea that a person's bad behavior or negative traits do not necessarily define their entire character. The lyrics acknowledge that although people may make mistakes, act foolishly, or have flawed behavior, it does not mean that they are entirely "bad" or unable to change. The chorus repeats the sentiment that "just because" someone may have negative qualities or actions, it does not mean that they are incapable of doing good and changing for the better.
Throughout the verses, there is an emphasis on the idea that people are complex and multifaceted. They may have moments of being "stupid" or "mad," but they also have moments where they know they "ought to" do the right thing. The lyrics also suggest that people may feel misunderstood, angry, or like an "old rag," but these negative emotions do not necessarily define them as a whole.
Overall, "Just Because" encourages listeners to reflect on the complexity of human behavior and not to label people solely based on their negative qualities.
