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 in neat

They were cheering and waving

cheering and waving

twitching and salivating like with myxomatosis

but it got edited ****** 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 arse 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"
