Lyrics - Hail to the Thief - Myxomatosis

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 like 
she ate me up for breakfast 
she screwed me in a vice 
but now 
i don't know why 
i feel so tongue-tied 
i sat in the cupboard 
and wrote it down real 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 in 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 
yeah no one likes a smart ass but we all like stars 
but 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
