The Cat With the Cream Belle and Sebastian
Verse:
[C]Sitting at the old kitchen table
Peace and health and d[Am]reams
Stretching out in the darkness
Mother's up the [C]stairs with her ageing new boyfriend
Cathy's staying [Dm]in to make sure nothing happens
All aboard the f[G]reak parade
I cover up my he[F]ad and pray
I'm praying for the l[C]ight
Verse:
[C]Down amongst the old city chambers
Men in frocks de[Am]bate all the policy changes
Everybody [C]bet on the boom and got busted
Everybody [Dm]bet and in the government trusted
Grubby little [G]red MP
Yellow flapping [F]hopelessly
Chorus:
Tory like the [Am]cat with the cream
Tory like the c[E]at with the cream
I studied you in h[Am]istory
I studied in the l[C]ibrary
In days of [Dm]old when knights were b[F]old
They'd settle it with sw[Am]ords and shields[C]
In days of [Dm]old when knights were b[F]old
It's settled by the k[C]ing
Verse:
[C]Praying for a friend is contagious
Especially when it [Am]comes at the old kitchen table
Listening for the s[C]woosh of his quickening paces
Watching for the s[Dm]mile on the bravest of faces
How I wish you'd r[G]ead to me
Verses rich in s[F]wallows and trees
To get me though the n[C]ight
Verse:
[C]Waiting at the old kitchen table
Listening for my c[Am]ode, listening for my instructions
Surely now I'm h[C]ere, I am destined for greatness
I want to be the Q[Dm]ueen pulling kids out of rivers
All aboard the f[G]reak parade
I cover up my he[F]ad and pray
Chorus:
I'm praying for the [Am]cat with the cream
I'm praying for the [E]cat with the cream
I studied you in h[Am]istory
I studied in the l[C]ibrary
In days of [Dm]old when knights were b[F]old
They'd settle it with sw[Am]ords and shields[C]
In days of [Dm]old when knights were b[F]old
It's settled by the k[C]ing
It's settled by the k[Cb5]ing
It's settled by the k[C]ing
It's settled by the k[Cb5]ing [C]
