lyrics

The Cat
(Jeffries / Jones)

Seems that you expected a higher kind of price
I could have loved you once at that
I could never love you twice
In and out the houses
Out and into fashion
Now it seems the cat has got your tongue
And the beast has your compassion

‘Put some love where your dreams are’
Was on the air in the empty night
Then you feel the cat come padding
Scratching at the corners of your sight

I discovered early that all your drinks were laced
And as you kept on pouring them
I saw your paintings were all defaced
Oranges and ochres
Canvasses to size
Now it seems the cat has got your tongue
And it’s making for my eyes

‘Put some love where your dreams are’
Was on the air in the empty night
Then you feel the cat come padding
Scratching at the corners of your sight

There are claws to this contract
There are terms that you can’t pronounce
There’s an alley you don’t go bowling in
There’s a shadow, all set to pounce

‘Put some love where your dreams are’
Was on the air in the empty night
Then you feel the cat come padding
Scratching at the corners of your sight
