about

And from that to my favourite song on the album. I like to think I have a little Jarvis Cocker moment halfway through. This one deals with the coming to terms of the cat's sad demise, and the parents trying to figure out how to tell him. There are three people represented in this song, all of whom sound remarkably like me. And yes, that is a game boy at the end. I had to get it in somewhere.

lyrics

Don't you want to be the one
To tell him, oh why can't you see
The only people that you're
Hurting here are you and me,
We'll be together once again
Just one big happy family
Minus the cat.

Oh I don't believe I'm
Hearing this, just don't be such a twat.
He was just fine when his
Granddad died, he'll live without the cat.
He's old enough to understand
That dying is a natural
Part of life.

We've talked about the birds and bees
So why ya hiding this from me?
It's plain to me why can't you see
I don't need any therapy for this.

This could be unnecessary
Pain and quite a lot of nasty
Strain upon his brain and you know
How expensive therapy can

Be for just one session nowadays
And just for dealing with a
Phase that he'll grow out of in a
Couple of years, it's true.

We've talked about the birds and bees
So why ya hiding this from me?
It's plain to me why can't you see
I don't need any therapy for this.

We've talked about the birds and bees.
So why ya hiding this from me?
It's not like I mind.
I mean, come on.
I'd figure it out someday.

Verse 1 - 2 and 3 - 4 repeat and fade.
