Lyrics
When you're a cat
You know the ways into
And out of an empty flat
All falling down
The fixtures dangling at sad angles
The walls gone brown.
And there's a plucky lass
Sleeping behind the glass
You know her
When you're a cat
You see it all, without detection
You're good at that.
That phantom stands
Before the glass
Without reflection
Pushing her hands
Through it as through water
Lifting out her daughter, as it were.
This strange creature knows
Only rats and bats, and that's fine
She knows bugger-all about cats
So the advantage is thine.
Being a cat is divine
When you're a cat
You hide your claws in paws
To be ready for combat.
Her claws are long
But by the laws of evolution
They're made all wrong
I will not hesitate
To sit around and wait, licking fur.
