Cat With A Tale

歌詞

Three thirty on a sick summer's day I round myself staring at a Newcastle bus stop A total stranger in a herringbone suit Asked me the time through his cigarette lighter Fifteen years later on a Wednesday night l round myself dreaming in a Manchester night-club A total stranger in a luminous tracksuit Gives me a kiss and he tastes of aluminium Then he's gone And in his place a cat with green eyes A cat with no tall at all Just a very sad expression on his race Mandarin quotes on a wrought iron gate I'm ringing the doorbell, but the petrol keeps leaking A total stranger in a cashmere coat Tells me politely, "Your wife is on fire" A family outing at the Gosforth Park Hotel The girl in the kitchen is working a job scheme l told my wife I'm sure I've seen her before She told me I kissed her al a Newcastle bus stop Then I was gone And in my place a cat with green eyes A cat with a tale to tell
