Tiger was a very competent UK blues/rock outfit put together by guitarists Big Jim Sullivan and Les Walker, together with vocalist Nicky Moore, keyboard player Dave McCrae, drummer Billy Rankin, and bass player Phil Curtis. Dave McCrae later was replaced by Alan Park, previously with Beggar's Opera. Tiger split in 1977 after recording three albums.
Yuh Dead Now, Cool Me Down and No Wanga Gut are tracks by the former. He was known for his original 'growling' style of chatting and was popular on the sound system Blackstar and many stageshows in Jamaica, before a motorcycle accident cut his aspiring career short in 1994, sparing his life but not his vocal chords.
The indie/Britpop Tiger recorded songs such as Friends, My Puppet Pal, Race and Shining In The Wood, all heavily played by Mark Radcliffe circa 1996. The band also sported unfashionably long hair at the back of their heads (often erroneously described as mullets), skinny jeans and metal t-shirts - a look much derided at the time but adopted a few years later by East London hipsters.
The hardcore Tiger, formed in 2006 in Traverse City, are set to release an album on Truth & Justice Records.

Tiger Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This road is long as shit
But I won't complain
I want to see it all
Even if it makes me fall down
But I may be
Still caught up in those things
I can't see
Every day seeming the same
When you might see something different
I wouldn't know how to tell you
That I
I don't have much to say
But I really can't complain
That lately things are going pretty well
For me
These voices I hear
That chill with my friends and I
It's sort of a lonely time
Oh it gets to be
Standing in the rain
On the streets before the sun's even up
Late nights slow it down
It's only sort of enough
But I may be
Still caught up in those things
I can't see
When I don't wanna see them
And I don't wanna be there
Who'd wanna be a part of
When you could walk away from
All of those ones that have done you wrong
That never get along
Get back at everyone
But don't speak
Say nothing
Like I can't complain
That lately things are going pretty well for me
Oh well, these voices that chill with my friends and I
It's sort of a lonely time
Oh it gets to be
The lyrics of Tiger's song "The Dream" convey a sense of resilience and determination despite the challenges one may face. The opening lines suggest that the journey ahead is difficult, but the singer refuses to complain and instead embraces the opportunity to experience everything, even if it means falling down along the way. However, the lyrics also imply that the singer may still be trapped by certain things they can't see or understand, which might be hindering their progress.
The song then touches upon the monotony of everyday life, where each day seems to blend into the next. The singer admits their inability to convey their feelings or share their struggles with someone who might offer a different perspective. Despite this, they acknowledge that they don't have much to say and can't complain because things have been going well for them lately.
The chorus introduces the motif of "voices" that chill with the singer and their friends, hinting at a sense of loneliness. The lyrics describe standing in the rain on empty streets before sunrise and the slow-paced late nights, which only partially suffice to fill this void. The singer acknowledges that they might still be caught up in things they can't see when they don't want to see them, and express a desire to walk away from those who have wronged them.

Thank you evangelist Joshua may God continue to use you Mightily in Jesus Christ name, I dream of a tiger was coming toward me and people start telling me to run because that tiger was so dangerous, everybody ran away but I refused to run away and the tiger came straight to me to trynna scare me but I refused to be scared, I open his mouth widely to tear it apart , the tiger looked really powerless, it couldn’t even scratch me and it wanted to run away but i was still holding it with my hand to kill it and I saw fire burning in a hole so I went on and deep that tiger inside.

I had a dream a few ago and have always wanted to understand what it meant. I remember that I was at a party at a house and everyone was drinking and having fun and I felt like I was an observer, I can’t remember what made me do this but in the dream I went outside. I saw a huge tiger in the sky walking and then it roared and the sky was a dark colour. I was trying to get peoples attention but no one seemed to care they were all still partying until for some reason everyone started running and it was chaos like the world was being attacked and everyone was running around screaming. I was just shaken and woke up.

Thank you Evangelist Joshua, I saw a dream this morning a cat with a tiger head was rounding to find an exit from the room and my mother opened the window for her and she left, I really want to know the dream interpretation. God Bless You

Thank God, I dreamt hiding from it, it came on top of me and I stayed still so it wouldn't attack and the dream switched, what I got from listening is I know my prosecutors and passing over somewhat and God is protecting me. I woke up and prayed Psalm 35, just to see in the comments to pray that. God is faithful, I could have read any scripture. Thank-you Jehovah 🙌🏾🎉🔥

I just had a dream yesterday night that a tiger cub was walking around in my house. It was talking to my cat and then when it saw me, it came up to me like my cat would. It started passing by everyone in the kitchen. And it was curious, it nimbled on me and my in-laws arm or leg when we were not paying attention and tried to get our attention. I stood on top of a kitchen stool to avoid the tiger cub from biting me. I didn't like being around predators. It was so weird of a dream.
