Myxomatosis (Live From The Basement) 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 been where I liked
I slept with who I like
She ate me up for breakfast
She screwed me in a vice"

[Refrain]
"But now 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 in a photo in Time magazine
Buried in a burning black hole in Devon

[Refrain]
And 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 smart-ass but we all like stars
Wait, that wasn't my intention, I did it for a reason
Shook hands with the cripples and I gave them all milk
And I did a few card tricks for my mafia geeks
But now

[Refrain]
I don’t know why I feel so tongue-tied

Thom: Thank you
