The Cat With The Cream |
Sitting at the old kitchen table |
Peace and health and dreams |
Stretching out in the darkness |
Mother’s up the stairs with her ageing new boyfriend |
Cathy’s staying in to make sure nothing happens |
All aboard the freak parade |
I cover up my head and pray |
I’m praying for the light |
Down amongst the old city chambers |
Men in frocks debate all the policy changes |
Everybody bet on the boom and got busted |
Everybody bet and in the government trusted |
Grubby little red MP |
Yellow flapping hopelessly |
Tory like the cat with the cream |
Tory like the cat with the cream |
I studied you in history |
I studied in the library |
In days of old when knights were bold |
They’d settle it with sword and shield |
In days of old when knights were bold |
It’s settled by the king |
Praying for a friend is contagious |
Specially when it comes at the old kitchen table |
Listening for the swoosh of his quickening paces |
Watching for the smile on the bravest of faces |
How I wish you’d read to me |
Verses rich in swallows and trees |
Get me though the night |
Waiting at the old kitchen table |
Listening for my code listening for my instructions |
Surely now I’m here, I am destined for greatness |
I want to be the Queen pulling kids out of rivers |
All aboard the freak parade |
I cover up my head and pray |
Praying for the cat with the cream |
Praying for the cat with the cream |
I studied you in history |
I studied in the library |
In days of old when knights were bold |
They’d settle it with sword and shield |
In days of old when knights were bold |
It’s settled by the king |
It’s settled by the king |
It’s settled by the king |
It’s settled by the king |
