Wild Tiger Woman

About Wild Tiger Woman

"Wild Tiger Woman" is a song recorded by the Move, and as with all the other A-sides of their singles, written by Roy Wood. It was much heavier than their usual style, bearing the unmistakable influence of Jimi Hendrix, whom the group greatly admired and had often played on the same bill with. Session musician Nicky Hopkins played piano. According to Trevor Burton, the group's rhythm guitarist, "It had the heavier rock'n'roll sound we should have been playing all along, and I really thought it was on its way to the very top. "Unlike their first four singles, which had all reached the UK top five, it did not even make the Top 40. A factor in this failure to chart may have lay in the lyrics which included the line "tied to the bed, she's waiting to be fed", which led to the single being banned from Radio 1. Another factor was that the single's mono mix was muffled, as compared to prior Move singles. (A recent first-time stereo mix shows that the tune was nicely recorded, just initially poorly mixed.) more »

She sparkle like my jean
She more than seventeen
Seems keen in other words
She must have been
A former beauty queen
Now she's a naughty girl

Chorus

Wild wild wild tiger woman
(wild wild wild wild)
You move me very fast
But can you last another day
Get out of the way
Wild wild tiger woman
(wild wild wild wild)
You gonna break you're little fall
They call her the wild tiger woman

Tied to the bed
Tied to the bed
She's waitin to be fed
No pay to sir aday (? )
Can't see an ounce of reason in her head
Don't laugh and turn away

Chorus

Need another girl to come and grab her by the tail
As I was hoping that the ground would open up and take me in
Life is so obscene and the remarks that go unseen
Are being diminished to the earth
Ill never find another girl

All in the race
Such a friendly face
Seems clean and upper-class
Young indecisive
Minds are in a maze
She lose me very fast

Chorus
