XTC - Tissue Tigers (The Arguers) Lyrics
I shout this,
You shout that,
The clouds are coming over looking awful black.
It's all hot air.
I say stay,
Clear blue sky goes Sheffield grey.
It's all hot air.
I've grown immune to your claws,
Pussycat, I know...
All your threats are tissue tigers,
Crawling across the table to me.
All your threats are tissue tigers,
I shout this,
You shout that,
An eye for heart and a tit for a tat.
You easy tear.
Think your stripes,
Are yellow and black,
I can only see the yellow one down your back,
You easy tear.
I've grown immune to your claws,
Pussycat, I know...
All your threats are tissue tigers,
Crawling across the table to me.
All your threats are tissue tigers,
Ripping 'em up is easy for me now.
We argue all life long,
You'd swear that black was wrong,
Throw tantrums like Queen Kong,
I've trapped you in my song.
All your threats are tissue tigers,
Crawling across the table to me.
All your threats are tissue tigers,
Ripping 'em up is easy for me now.

XTC Tissue Tigers (The Arguers) Comments
Love XTC. Lyrically one of the best pop groups ever.
Was this part of the Homo Safari tracks?
XTC FOREVER!!!!!!!!
How that bass kicks in again after that these short pauses at ..."your friends.."..so so so AAAHHHH!!!!!!
Zero people felt the need to argue.
Andy really uses his whole vocal range ih this superb xtc classic
This should have been a single. Just great.
Classic xtc
Always one of my favorite songs from a favorite band... I'd add that as a surprise to a mix tape and it was always liked.
top song I wish Andy would reform with the others
This is one of the most underrated song that I've ever heard in my life!
One of my fav XTC songs........great stepping to!!!!
So criminally under rated. I don't have enough fingers to count all the bands that borrowed something from XTCs insanely great angular Brit pop music.
Bill Davis I don't know what angular Brit pop means (or stepping for that matter) but I'm sure you're right.
First single I bought was Senses Working Overtime - this was the B side...
Sounds vaguely like Velvet Underground, for some reason. Must be the organ.
how the fuck is this an outtake
Who else can you say that their outtakes kick the crap out of 99% of everybody else's best effort? Hardly anybody.
Maybe radiohead. Maybe
Still remember all the lyrics after 30+ years
Indeed, 35+ now!
