Terrible
The Tiger Lillies Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

On Mondays murder children, little girls and boys
I put my hands around their throats till they don't make a noise
Tuesdays torture animals, pluck off small birds wings
Watch them as they bleed to death, then they don't sing
Wednesdays I defecate on the priest's front door
If the priest he does complain, I just do it some more
Thursdays I Molatov the local orphans home
Love those little orphans, charred down to the bone

I'm terrible, terrible, shouldn't be allowed
To sing my songs of filth to a decent crowd

On Fridays sodomize tender virgin nuns
Tie them up, lear at them, and then I have my fun
Saturdays I stand and sing my sad, sad, sick, sick songs
To anyone who listen, who in the head is wrong
Sundays, Sundays, the day I love the best
Rape, murder, pillage while other people rest

I'm terrible, terrible, shouldn't be allowed
To sing my songs of filth to a decent crowd




I'm terrible, terrible, shouldn't be allowed
But when I do offend someone it makes me feel so proud

When I listen to this I like to imagine a town where a guy like this lives and actually does all these things every week, and everybody knows about it but they sort of just learned to live with it. It's so absurd it makes me giggle.
