Browse > Lyrics > Myxomatosis

The mongrel cat came home
Holding half a head
Proceeded to show it off
To all his new found friends
He said
"I been where I liked
I slept with who I liked
she ate me up for breakfast
she screwed me in a vice
And now
I don't know why I feel so tongue tied"
I sat in the cupboard
And wrote it down in neat
They were cheering & waving
cheering & waving
twitching & salivating
like with myxomatosis
But it got edited, fucked up
Strangled beaten up
Used as a photo in Time magazine
Buried in a burning black hole in Devon
"I don't know why I feel so tongue tied
Don't know why I feel so skinned alive."
My thoughts are misguided &
A little naive
I twitch & sailvate
like with myxomatosis
You should put me in a home or you should put me down
I got myxomatosis
I got myxomatosis
"Now no one likes a smart arse"
"But we all like stars"
That wasn't my intention I did it for a reason
[He shook hands with the
cripples &
He gave them all milk
He did a few card tricks
For his mafia geeks] [It must have got mixed up, strangled beaten up]
But now
"I don't know why I feel so tongue tied"
