lyrics

Skin breaks
Scab starts
It falls off
I get dressed
In full health
At maximum strength
I stride confidently through the night streets
I find myself in this burlesque club
Full of strange stuff
A glittering array of distractions
Some of which demand my attention...

I meet someone called Faux Faux La Bardot
We go home and have...conversations.
She has a cat in her bag
She elaborates, as the night wanes,
And the morning claims engagement with things less trivial.

I get home and see the cat
It looks at me like "What you looking at?"
I gave her some semi-skimmed milk
She looked at me and said,
"Let’s get one thing straight, it’s full fat or nowt!"

She went out
Not seen her since.

I’m not so healthy these days,
Think that cat was...cursed.

Skin breaks
Scab starts
It falls off
I move on
In full health
At maximum strength
I stride confidently through the night streets
Cursed no more, cursed no more,
Cursed no more...
