Myxomatosis. Lyrics

The mongrel cat came home
Holding half a head
Proceeded to show it off
To all his new found friends

He said,
I been where I liked
I slept with who I liked
She ate me up for breakfast
She screwed me in a vice

But now
I don't know why I feel so tongue tied
I sat in the cupboard
And wrote it down in neat
They were cheering and waving
Cheering and waving
Twitching and salivating
Like with myxomatosis

But it got edited, fucked up
Strangled, beaten up
Used as a photo in Time magazine
Buried in a burning black hole in Devon
I don't know why I feel so tongue tied
Don't know why I feel so skinned alive

My thoughts are misguided and a little naive
I twitch and salivate
Like with myxomatosis
You should put me in a home or you
Should put me down

I got myxomatosis
I got myxomatosis
Yeah no one likes a smart arse
But we all like stars
That wasn't my intention
I did it for a reason

It must have got mixed up
Strangled beaten up
I got myxomatosis
I got myxomatosis
I don't know why I
Feel so tongue tied

What is the Meaning of Myxomatosis.?

In the whirlwind of emotions and experiences, this track delves into feelings of manipulation and loss of control. The narrator compares himself to a diseased animal, specifically referencing myxomatosis, a condition affecting rabbits and causing them distress and disorientation. This metaphor extends to his own state of being overwhelmed by external influences and media distortion. Feeling exploited and misunderstood, he struggles with identity and expression, trapped in a cycle where his intentions are lost or twisted by others' interpretations. The song powerfully conveys the inner turmoil of being under constant scrutiny and the desire for authenticity in a superficial world.
