The Cat Loves The Mouse Lyrics - Beautiful South

We've come a long way from the cave 

What, you started to shave? 

Now we know just how to behave 

Since chivalry decided to bathe 

And as the skirts we wore were increasingly high 

Till the hem was just a cloud in the sky 

And the chat up lines got increasingly fly 

As the truth bought a suit and a tie 

The cat loves the mouse 

The mouse loves the cheese 

The bees love the birds 

The birds love those bees 

The bee loves that honey 

So honey please 

Why are we so different to these?

So when I'm old and I'm grey 

You know you already are 

When I'm overweight 

You know you already are 

If I've overstayed my welcome by a day 

Just feel free to say 

You know I already have 

And as the skirts we wore were increasingly high 

Till the hem was just a cloud in the sky 

And the chat up lines got increasingly fly 

As the truth bought a suit and a tie 

The cat chases bird 

To the top of the tree 

The dog chases postman 

To the end of the street 

The postman he chases 

Every girl that he meets 

So why are we so different to these?

I've been your bird, I've been your bitch 

I've been whatever B you ever wished 

I've been your cat, I've been your chick 

I've been which ever C you thought to pick 

I've been your bat, I've been your cow 

I've been whichever B and C that you'd allow 

I've been your dog, your dragon and your duck 

I've been whatever D you thought was cool to f**k
