Myxomatosis.
(or, Judge, Jury & Executioner.)
(3:52)

track 12 off of hail to the thief


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
she 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 in neat
They were cheering & waving
cheering & 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 & a little naive
I twitch & 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 arse"
"But we all like stars"
That wasn't my intention
I did it for a reason

He shook hands with the cripples &
He gave them all milk
He did a few card tricks
For his mafia geeks

it must have got mixed up
strangled beaten up
i got myxomatosis
i got myxomatosis

But now
"I don’t know why i feel
so tongue tied"
