Tigers With Angel Wings

Original song from Hull City Beat Boys

Song Lyrics

I’ve been city till I die ever since the age of 5
when my dad first took me to Boothferry Park

Now I take my son to the KC Stadium
and dad looks down from heaven until the lights go dark

Though he never lived to see the tigers go to Wembley
he marched with us but fell before we reached the promised land

No matter what the future brings Tigers with angel wings
will watch over Hull City and guide them through the storm

There’ll be dad and Billy Bly still City since the day they died
In a pearly tigers lair with old city fans all gathered there

If we lose or if we win Tigers with angel wings
are everywhere around us forever on our side

So let's raise a glass and drink to tigers with angel wings
who kept the amber flame alive even in our darkest nights

And when my time has come, my son, and perhaps his son
at the KC stadium, will look up at the evening sky,
Think about my dad and I,
Until the lights go dark …….
