The Cat With The Cream Lyrics - Girls In Peacetime Want To Dance - Belle And Sebastian

Sitting at the old kitchen table 

Peace and health and dreams 

Stretching out in the darkness 

Mother's up the stairs with her ageing new boyfriend 

Cathy's staying in to make sure nothing happens 

All aboard the freak parade 

I cover up my head and pray 

I'm praying for the light 

Down amongst the old city chambers 

Men in frocks debate all the policy changes 

Everybody bet on the boom and got busted 

Everybody bet and in the government trusted 

Grubby little red MP 

Yellow flapping hopelessly

Tory like the cat with the cream 

Tory like the cat with the cream 

I studied you in history 

I studied in the library 

In days of old when knights were bold 

They'd settle it with sword and shield 

In days of old when knights were bold 

It's settled by the king 

Praying for a friend is contagious 

Specially when it comes at the old kitchen table 

Listening for the swoosh of his quickening paces 

Watching for the smile on the bravest of faces 

How I wish you'd read to me 

s rich in swallows and trees 

Get me though the night 

Photos 

Waiting at the old kitchen table 

Listening for my code listening for my instructions 

Surely now I'm here, I am destined for greatness 

I want to be the Queen pulling kids out of rivers 

All aboard the freak parade 

I cover up my head and pray 

Praying for the cat with the cream 

Praying for the cat with the cream 

I studied you in history 

I studied in the library 

In days of old when knights were bold 

They'd settle it with sword and shield 

In days of old when knights were bold 

It's settled by the king 

It's settled by the king 

It's settled by the king 

It's settled by the king
