Let me take a more literal approach to this one...
Also reminds me of a song from a muppet serial of a really long time ago - Fraggle Rock
"Let me explain something to ya," Gobo.
No one knows where we're going.
No one knows where we've been.
Strangers follow us, dangers fall on us.
Life play tricks and they're mean.
Only one thing can save us.
Only one thing will do.
Stand up nice and straight. Don't capitulate.
Courage lives and it's you.
Catch a tail by the tiger.
Take the horns by the bull.
A bird in need is a friend indeed,
So pull the eyes over the wool.
"Uh, Gobo, I think you got it backwards. The saying is that you
gotta catch a tiger by the tail," Wembley.
"Sure. If you want to do it the easy way. On the other hand,
if you really want bravery, then you gotta," Gobo.
Catch a tail by the tiger.
Take the horns by the bull.
A bird in need is a friend indeed,
So pull the eyes over the wool.
Steely gaze in the sunrise.
Lonesome walk in the dawn.
Sometimes lonely, but living only for truth,
When truth may be gone.
Danger lurks at the crossroads.
Shadows loom on the wall.
Sounds behind us and hounds will find us,
And death and taxes and all.
So, catch a tail by the tiger.
Take the horns by the bull.
A bird in need is a friend indeed,
So pull the eyes over the wool.
Catch a tail by the tiger.
Take the horns by the bull.
A bird in need is a friend indeed,
So pull the eyes over the wool.
If you want to do it the easy way. On the other hand, if you really want bravery, then you gotta.. Break the Rules!!! Oops I am beginning to sound like a self help book which goes by a similar name ;) so I shall cut it short.
