Myxomatosis Songtext / Lyric

the mongrel cat came home
holding half a head
proceeded to show it off
to all his new found friends
he said : "I've been where I like"
"I've slept with who I liked"
"she ate me up for breakfast"
"she screwed me in a vice" "but 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 and waving
cheering and waving
twitching and a salivating like with myxomatosis
but it got edited fucked up
strangled beaten up
used in 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.

like my thoughts are misguided and a little naive
I twitch and I salivate like with myxomatosis
you should put me in a home or you should put me down
I got myxomatosis
I got myxomatosis

yeah no one likes a smartarse but we all like stars
that wasn't my intention (tension),
I did it for a reason (treason)
it must have got mixed up
strangled beaten up
I got myxomatosis
I got myxomatosis

I don?t know why I
feel so tongue-tied
