Radiohead - Myxomatosis lyrics

rate me

the mongrel cat came home

holding half a head

proceeded to show it off

to all his new found friends

he said i've been where i liked

i've slept with who i liked

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 in neat

they were cheering and waving

cheering and waving

twitching and a-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 smartarse but we all like stars

that wasn't my intention (tension), i did it for a reason (treason)

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
