I'm A Reader & A Writer Lyrics


Procol Harum I'm A Reader & A Writer

I'm a reader and a writer
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
