Alley Cats - Hot Chip, Joe Goddard, Felix Martin

Two people are alley cats

We have an unhappy cat

He is restless, needs attention

Loses patience, seeks affection

Monkey grooms, blossom blooms

Do you dig germs?

The germs?

Well, we wear each other’s heads like hats

Speak in tongues like alley cats

Cradle them in both our laps

When we lie alone

Wear each other’s heads like hats

Speak in tongues like alley cats

Cradle them in both our laps

And we die alone

Well, we sleep inside a blankety bed

Planted like the crocuses

In the song, my mother said

She wanted us to sing

We sleep inside a blankety bed

Planted like the crocuses

And I wish my mother could

See the ring I got

Ooh-oh, there is no pain I know

Ooh-oh, there is no pain I know

(There's no pain that I know)

Ooh-oh, there is no pain I know

There’s no pain that I know

There’s no pain that I know

There’s no pain that I know

The other night, you said you might

Try to kill that thing I love

It is too strong for you

It is encased in glass and stone

The other night, you said you might

Try to kill that thing I love

It is invincible

It is encased in glass and stone

You painted a song, you painted a song

(The other night, you said you might)

It started when I was young and now it is in my lung

(Try to kill that thing I love)

You painted a song, you painted a song

(It is too strong for you)

It started when I was young and now it is in my lung

(It is encased in glass and stone)

Two people are alley cats

I get to thinking 'bout our cat

He is restless, needs attention

Loses patience, seeks affection

Monkey grooms, blossom blooms

Do you dig worms?

The worms?
