Beautiful South – The Cat Loves The Mouse lyrics
We've come a long way from the cave
What, you started to shave?
Now we know just how to behave
Since chivalry decided to bathe

And as the skirts we wore were increasingly high
Till the hem was just a cloud in the sky
And the chat up lines got increasingly fly
As the truth bought a suit and a tie

The cat loves the mouse
The mouse loves the cheese
The bees love the birds
The birds love those bees
The bee loves that honey
So honey please
Why are we so different to these?

So when I'm old and I'm grey
You know you already are
When I'm overweight
You know you already are
If I've overstayed my welcome by a day
Just feel free to say
You know I already have

And as the skirts we wore were increasingly high
Till the hem was just a cloud in the sky
And the chat up lines got increasingly fly
As the truth bought a suit and a tie

The cat chases bird
To the top of the tree
The dog chases postman
To the end of the street
The postman he chases
Every girl that he meets
So why are we so different to these?

I've been your bird, I've been your bitch
I've been whatever B you ever wished
I've been your cat, I've been your chick
I've been which ever C you thought to pick
I've been your bat, I've been your cow
I've been whichever B and C that you'd allow
I've been your dog, your dragon and your duck
I've been whatever D you thought was cool to fuck
