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 in neat 
they were cheering and waving 
cheering and waving 
twitching and salivating like with myxomatosis 
but it got edited [bad word] 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 [bad word] 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"
