I'm A Strong Lion

Taken from "From A Compound Eye" 2006

""THAT'S IT" SOME'LL SAY
CAN'T SEE TOO WELL
PAST ANOTHER DAY
WHERE DO THEY GO?

I CAN GET YOU ON MY WRONG SIDE
RIGHT AWAY
IT MIGHT BE TODAY

I'M A STRONG LION - BEEN TRYIN'
THE LORD LIKES ME THAT WAY

SURE AS I'M DYIN' HERE
THE PROBLEM IS SOLVED
YEAH AND IT HURTS TO KNOW
YOU WON'T BE INVOLVED

BUT I CAN BEAT YOU TO THE STRONG SIDE
RIGHT AWAY
I'LL MEET YOU TODAY

'CUS I'M A STRONG LION - BEEN TRYIN'
THE LORD LIKES ME THAT WAY
TRYIN' - STILL FIGHTIN'
THE BOYS LIKE ME THAT WAY"

A fantastic fun minute long mega-pop song that somehow reminds me of Dire Straits "Walk of Life" in an alternate universe. Quality keyboard playing and catchy tune make this a wonderous standout track from FACE. Just makes you wanna do that indie hop.
