Additional information
Called Easy Tiger due to Matthew Bellamy saying "easy tiger" after performing it. A live version features as an extra track on the Absolution Tour DVD. In the live feature, Matt accidentally switches the order of the two lyrics: "Breaks my fall" and "Breaks my heart"
The version on the Butterflies & Hurricanes DVD includes a brief voice-over by Matt, explaining that copyright reasons prevented them from putting the whole song on a DVD before it had been released as a B-Side. The full uninterrupted version of this video appears on the Absolution Tour DVD.
The main riff bares similarities with the bass riff of the song Fools Gold by The Stone Roses.
Lyrics
So here it is again
Rape and pillage proves To win the public vote
Someone tell me who will take the prize And who takes the fall
So confused When you're lost in the groove So confused When you're lost in the groove
And down-town comes again And her masks are shifting like a chameleon Someone tell me why she breaks my fall And then breaks my heart
So confused When you're lost in the groove So confused When you're lost in the groove
Wow!
So confused When you're lost in the groove So confused When you're lost in the groove
