The Lucksmiths - Cat In Sunshine Lyrics
You tell me you don't like the way I comb my hairBut there are two of us at this tableOnly one of us doesn't careYou're so engrossed in what you readAnd you're not really thereCan tell you all my troublesAnd all you say is 'yeah, yeah, yeah'Television's off tonightI heard somebody cry outsideThe smells of spring are everywhereGetting mixed up with my ownCould've sworn I heard you say this house was not your homeMedicine cabinet is your only friendYour greatest fear is telephoneHere it comes againYou look like so many adjectivesBut what you are is what I'm notYou come round here in a brand new shirtAnd announce that you're a brand new girlBut you stole that lineAnd you probably stole the shirt as wellSometimes I have to wonder whyI'd only take an inch and you gave me a mileIt's got more to do with stupidityThan it has to do with styleEvery time you come round hereI never know just what you'll wearAnd I'm sitting here in yesterdays underwearDo you have to try hard to look as though you really couldn't careA friend once told me apathy looks good on herYou look like so many similesWhat you are is a cat in sunshineAnd when you're here I feel like D Day is hereAll those songs about burning houses are giving me ideasIf I hear those words once more I'll pour the petrol on the floorAnd I'll watch the flames caress your doorYou look like so many analogiesBut what you are is a cat in sunshineA cat in sunshine, a canary in a coal mine
