I love this song. The rhythm reminds me of a galloping horse- like the sound of the hooves on the earth through a forest <3 <3 <3 With Love from Edinburgh, SCOTLAND <3 <3 <3

Saw Richard last Thursday at York with Show Of Hands, they did this song together - it was magical!
-
Fantastic!

If any are confused; this song refers to Yugoslavian refugees during the 70's and 80's. Arkan's Tigers was a vigilante group known for being especially brutal during Serbia's wars with surrounding nations. This song catalogues the shortages of supplies in a dark time, and the attempts people made to keep their lives afloat. Mention of The Tiger (2:13) refers to these men and their crimes.

You can find this song on his album Somewhere Near Paterson.

Of course Richard wrote it ....jeez !!!

@jeffsaxton22, that was my first guess, only because on his page "the Tiger" is capitalized. I associated it with the German Tiger tank. I have read elsewhere that it was about Kosovo. During the Serbian war, one of the most brutal paramilitary groups was Akran's Tigers, who carried out the "ethnic cleansing" (genocide). Arkan "the Tiger" was indicted by the UN for crimes against humanity, but was killed in 2000 before his trial. Nice picture on Wikipedia.

@theguyfromParis J'avais justement posé la question à Gabriel sur son forum. Sa réponse :
"J'ai volontairement omis ce dernier couplet car il évoque des notions qui me sont totalement étrangères
dans tous les cas, je ne nommerai une quelconque entité divine, ou supposée telle, qu'au pluriel"

I have heard this song done by a few people and it is just so powerful! Did he write this, if not, who did?

According to the sleeve notes on the CD "Somwhere From Paterson" yes he did. This was the first song I heard of his, thanks to Bob Harris playing it on his show some years ago. I have been a fan ever since.

I love it !!! Thanks for this !!! — do you know the Gabriel Yacoub's cover of this song ? I like it to, even if i've always wonder why he doesn't sing the last verse.

I haven't heard Gabriel's version, mais j'aime beaucoup ses autres chansons a youtube. Excusez ma pauvre Francais, je suis un rosbif!
