Procol Harum - I'M A Reader And A Writer lyrics

rate me

Not a lover or a fighter

When it comes to push and shove

I'm as peaceful as a dove

I'm a tiger in the night

When i'm talking of the fight

When it comes to trading blows

I'm the first one on my toes

I'm a leopard in a cage

When i'm on the printed page

When it comes to blood and gore

I'm the first one on the floor

I'm a tiger in the night

When i'm talking of the fight

When it comes to trading blows

I'm the first one on my toes

Well i'm a man of stern repute

When the opposition's mute

When i start to lose my grip

I'm the first one off the ship

I'm a tiger in the night

When i'm talking of the fight

When it comes to trading blows

I'm the first one on my toes

I'm a man of stern repute

When the opposition's mute

When i start to lose my grip

I'm the first one off the ship

I'm a tiger in the night

When i'm talking of the fight

When it comes to trading blows

I'm the first one on my toes
