Radiohead

(Judge, Jury & Executioner)

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 & waving
cheering & waving
twitching & salivating
like with myxomatosis
But it got edited, fucked 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 & a little naive
I twitch & 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
He shook hands with the cripples &
He gave them all milk
He did a few card tricks
For his mafia geeks
But now
"I don’t know why I feel so tongue-tied"
