Myxomatosis

The mongrel cat came home

Holding half a head

Proceeded to show it off

To all his new found friends

He said "I been where I liked

I slept with who I liked

She ate me up for breakfast

And screwed me in a vice

And now I don't know why

I feel so tongue-tied"

I sat in the cupboard

And wrote it down and neat

They were cheering and waving

Cheering and waving

Twitching and salivating like with myxomatosis

But it got edited fucked up

Strangled, beaten up

Used as 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."

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

"Now no one likes a smart ass but we all like stars"

That wasn't my intention, I did it for a reason

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"
