[ Featuring Neil Hannon, Cinema Ensemble ]
I'd like to lodge a complaint
With a relevant authority
With each other's where we ought to be, Cathy
I'm gonna write to the Times, sign it desperate at "Dolphin's Barn"
Shouldn't we be in each other's arms, Cathy?
Cathy, it's at times like these I wish I wrote like you
You seem to bend your words to suit your needs
You melt my heart with your imagery, but I don't know
How to say it better, than darling since I met you
I haven't been the same
And I don't know, all the whys and wherefores
But you're the one I care for
And that will never change Cathy
Oh to be with you tonight
Smoke a jay and drink a G & T
Do whatever's coming naturally, Cathy
Turn the sheets into sails
Turn the bed into a golden ship
Floating slowly down the Mississippi, Cathy
Cathy can you help me please
You put these things more poetically than me
I've sang of how love feels but it's much harder when it's all real
And I don't know
How to make it clearer
Than honey when I'm near you
It's like I'm in a dream
And I don't know in stormy weather
But jst to be together is good enough for me
Cathy
Cathy
Cathy, Cathy
