Myxomatosis (Live) lyrics

[Verse 1]
The mongrel cat came home
Holding half a head
Proceeded to show it off
To all his newfound friends
He said, "I've been where I liked
I've slept with who I like
She ate me up for breakfast
She screwed me in a vice
But now

[Chorus]
I don't know why I
Feel so tongue-tied"

[Verse 2]
I sat in the cupboard
And wrote it down in neat
They were cheering and waving, cheering and waving
Twitching and salivating like with myxomatosis
But it got edited, f*cked up
Strangled, beaten up
Used as a photo in Time magazine
Buried in a burning black hole in Devon

[Chorus]
I don't know why I
Feel so tongue-tied
Don't know why I
Feel so skinned alive
[Verse 3]
My thoughts are misguided and a little naïve
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 smartass, but we all like stars' attention
Wasn't my intention (for a reason), I did it for a reason, (reason)
It must have got mixed up, strangled, beaten up
I got myxomatosis, I got myxomatosis

[Chorus]
I don't know why I
Feel so tongue-tied

[Instrumental Outro]

One, two, three, four!
