The Jazz Butcher - Domestic Animal
from the album Distressed Gentlefolk
He's crawling from the bathroom.
He's sinking in the carpet.
He's looking out the window.
Wishing that he could get outside.
Got a vague feeling that it could have been important.
Got a vague feeling that it could have been all.
But
In the springtime cats have sex.
In the springtime rats have sex.
In the springtime fish have sex.
But
Our domestic animal stays
Very good indeed.
He won't make an exhibition.
He won't watch your television.
He won't drink your new French wine.
And he won't steal your convertible razorblades
And he won't care about the stuff you eat
Because he hasn't got time.
He's still considering.
Still considering.
He's got a vague feeling that it could have been important once.
He's got a vague feeling that it could have been all.
But
In the springtime cats have sex.
In the springtime rats have sex.
In the springtime fish have sex.
But
Our domestic animal stays
Very good indeed.
Happy animal in the spring.
Happy animal in the spring.
Domestic animal in the spring.
