the cat empire - 1001
Parking Inspector
- just made my list of one thousand
one thousand and one
but ah Parking Inspector?
Went to my friends
when I found a fine beat
cos I like to play a rhythm
where the rhythm plays me
play it all day
on a balcony above the street
where old Franky and me we
shuffle with our feet
And old man Goergie
takes some sugar with his tea
when he?s stirred by a melody
of hands moving easy
you see it reminds him
dreams by the sea
where the breeze blows
underneath that island tree
And we played til the playing
Gave us the munchies
then we played in the kitchen
made the easy gods happy
cos we left them a little chilli-special
and some chocolate we eat because it?s sweet
when I leave I am smiling
at the things I haven?t done
oh I haven?t broke a sweat
and I haven?t had to run
for the list of one-thousand
-and-one that does plague me
on some days
when the sun rays don?t come
Parking Inspector
just made my list of one thousand
one thousand and one
but ah Parking Inspector
[won?t let you wreck my fun]
When I get to my car
I am faced with a sight
that is strange and it?s sad
and it?s mad it?s not right
there?s one thousand and one
spaces free but I see
that he find me guilty
of the time over fee
Now I know why my mother
why my mother warned me
said ?you might be lucky
but know nothing comes for free?
she is right - entirely
cos the ticket paid the song
that I sing to this beat
Parking inspector
just made my list of one thousand
one thousand and one
but ah parking inspector
won?t let you wreck my fun
cos when I pay for my ticket
I won?t curse and despise
no i?ll run into the girl
with the slinky blue eyes
then my list of one thousand and one
will remain
I had plans to get it done
but now my plans they have changed
Parking Inspector
just made my list of one thousand
one thousand and one
but ah Parking Inspector
?just listen to the bass and the funky drums?
Parking Inspector
just made my list of one thousand
grow a little more
but ah parking inspector
you won?t believe what I saw
on the back of my ticket
with invisible type
was a map to the place
with one thousand delights
and a key that was one to that
spot by the sea where the breeze
blows underneath that island tree
the cat empire - all that talking
And when it happens it's like
Honey and pain
Horns in the rain
Misty seas and mysteries
A dog with no name
It's that time again
Not sure if I'm sleeping
But the vision's as clear
As fog on the pier
Someone fishing aimlessly
A thought's an idea
A sound is an ear
And gods with none believing
Being chased by the lamb
A knife in its hand
Looked down from that mountain
Saw the moon get a tan
On the beach with no sand
Something came and something ran
To make up my mind
Is it bleak or it fine?
She looked a little doubtful
Smirked and said it's divine
To light with no lime
Sometimes
Oh it's too late I can't stop
Moving my mouth
I'll shush but I'll shout
Something's got a hold of me
Those words coming out
Like froth on a stout
Dreamboat's sailing into
Stormy weather I see
Salty debris
Cows and tigers jumping at some
Mad dignity
But passionately we'll be
Oh finding
Ways without words
To sing and to purr
Loving without declarations
Stuttered and slurred
Elephants blurred
Nerves resisting urges serve
To speak with no sight
A bat taking flight
Only to find tooth marks
In that sex dynamite
My girl's got a bite
That's right
the cat empire - anymore
The Cat Empire - Anymore
I would not tell you how I feel
Anymore because I've seen
How men find offence in reason
I save my heart for my family
My soul for work
My mind in moving
Through the world
Although my young ideal is gone
My embrace not so blind
And my trust is never certain
I try to find what's among us
Not to unite but to realise that
To waste's defeat
And when uncertainty reveals
When the consequences ark
And the act seems in the balance
Music is born from an instinct
And that is my truth
In the moment that I
Need it most
the cat empire - beanni
His name was Beanni
Say where you been Beanni
I saw you on your skateboard
But I never saw your face
Just saw your beanie
- Beanni
Her name was Fly Girl
Say where you been Fly Girl
I seen you shake your mmm-boobie
But I never saw your face
Just saw your fly sunglasses
In the night
And in the day
One day that Beanni
Was cruising down the street
On his skateboard
And his Beanni eyes did look and see
That fine freaky Fly Girl
And that Fly Girl who was dancing
Like only Fly Girl could
Did notice one cruisy Beanni
Flying right to where she stood
And then that Fly Girl was
A'scream and laughing at the same time
And till that Beanni
Did fly and fall and crash into her side
And both of them did fall
And roll around on their arses
But then his beanie fell off
And so did her round glasses
Beanni reached down
And picked up Fly Girl's glasses
From the ground
And Fly Girl did grab Beanni's
Beanie that she found
And she gave him back his beanie
Said 'I like you with your beanie on'
And he did say 'your big black glasses
Look so sexy on'
They got together
Forever and ever after that
And had some little Beanni Fly Girl
And Fly Girl Beanni boys
Gave them glasses for their eyes
And Beanni beanies for their heads
And now the Beanni family's dancing
Till the day they're dead
the cat empire - boogaloo
The Cat Empire - Boogaloo
There's a soul man
And he's shuffling in my head
He lives ah he lived ah he live ah he's living
And I'm never going to grow old wishing
Could have my time again
He shuffle with the gypsy lady in my dreams
And she screams with her hips when he kiss her oh so
Something when he moves doesn't have to move much
But he does it with such gentle tenderness, I'm
singing
Young men stomping in the bullpen
Looking for some good zen
Often to do the dumb things
Looking for some a-ah-ah-amen
There's a soul man listening to the soul tamb
Playing in his right hand now he found this own sound
And it's ok
He never speak for-the-sake-of-speaking
Doesn't talk all-that-talking no he doesn't say
nothing
Til he got something to say
He shuffle with the gypsy lady in my dreams
And she screams with her hips when he kiss her oh so
Something got me singing oh I never never
Never gonna
Grow old wishing
Could have my time again
the cat empire - cities
Oh Oh Oh...
Blurring facing evasive evolving
747 lands I go out strolling
Pacing lacing up the shoes
That depict a kind of blues
Get a paper read the news
Oh so many cities
Are going around in my head
Take me back to where I might belong
Traipsing trading with strangers and romance
Learnt about the nights where you live like your last chance
Oh oh oh...
I'm going to rocket with bus across the sky
Gonna catch a train through the sea
Then steal some fire
Hold on baby while the stage lights eve
When the beat ignites us Prometheus is free
Oh so many cities
Are going around in my head
Take us back to where we might belong
Oh so many people
Rolled up on these shoulder's
Something give me grace oh darling please
Blurring facing evasive evolving
747 lands I go out strolling
Pacing lacing up the shoes
That depict a kind of blues
Get a paper read the new
She was a fountain in the desert and a tropical sea
Our caravan stopped temporarily
the cat empire - days like these
To the gods in the sky
There's one thing you can do
You can send us some sun
And we'll play you this tune
Because sitting in our room
Lying down with a scoob
And the sunshine
Through our window
It's days like these
That make us happy
Like a puppy getting lucky
With Lassie hassle-free
Hours passing by
With the beat one two
Said it's days like these kicking back
Just doing what we do
Number one I'd find some
Loving in the sun
With someone that can make me
Growl and hum say hmmm...
A boom boom shak
And the beat that she throw at me
Knocking me flat
Number two
I'd cruise where the grass is smooth
And the sound of the sea
Is a dreamy melody
Snooze all afternoon
Till the night time wake me
Cos shakedown soon
Number three
I'd be dancing like a monkey up a tree
Find sweet simplicity
By kissing my honey
Get funky like Bond
When he's played by Connery
And get crafty
Like Don Corleone
Four
Watching Oliver jam a little more
Remember the night when I saw
What i never never never seen before
Lavender wrestling a rich wild boar
[CHORUS]
HARRY'S NIGHT TIME RHYME
And dirty hands
I like them see
They make the music that we play
Sound oh so sweet
And my mother always made me eat broccoli
And now look at me
I'm as strong as can be
So put some spice in my sauce
Honey in my tea
An ace up my sleeve
And a slinky plan b
And most importantly
My mad family
They named me lucky
And for that I'll sing about
Days like these
the cat empire - down at the 303
The Cat Empire - Down At The 303
I want some culture
Never mind the cheese
Just want to hear music
And originality
I want some culture
Never mind the TV
Just want to hear music
Down at the 303
This is a rhyme about how good music can be
How mean are its bass lines its melodies and beats
Now it's good to have positivity
But you also must be able to crush adversaries
because
We have terrorists in the music industry
Yes terrorists trying to define what music be
We are modern medicine men - cure all ills with ill
beats
But some people are making music sick
And stealing all the chi
You know who you are and yes judge not lest ye
Be judged I agree in front of my plasma screen but
While you're making a concert of convicts who
Stumbled through the contest I'm taking the
Concept of convex and putting it in a concave context
And if you were Rocksteady, Bebop and Shredder
I'd be Krang... doing that evil shit better
Music is for living yes music is essential
Music should take risks and be experimental
the cat empire - fishies
I left the house left the room with the foxy on my back
And my supplies in a magic pack
And I followed the sound of music
Not up a hill ... but down to an old wharf shack
Inside I heard the trumpets call
I salute to the champions on the wall
And in the jazz of squalls and impassioned brawls she danced
And the night she looked so fine to me
Oh I am a man on an Odyssey
And so tie me to the mast I must believe!
Wow didi didi I just had to look
I said wow didi didi how those hips they shook
Eye patch tongue ring little black book
Welcome fishies to my hook
And the tiny chefs they waved their giant knives
And the dark goumas they flicked dynamite
Still I kept the sight of my desire
And this one thing's sure I made no apologies
Lights dimmed but she shone like mythology
And I must admit she felt so alive
Chorus
She waves for everybody down on the floor
As if to pray to the gods of the festival
And there we were in the depths of the wild below
Her face so close I could taste the distant shores
She whispered ?wait for the trumpet's call'
It's not exactly love it's to adore
Chorus
the cat empire - hello
Walking down the street
With some evil in my eye
And some thoughts in my head
That were making me feel high
On my head was a hoodi
In my ears was some bass
Was walking by my dog
When I saw that sexy face
Come towards me
With a little cheeky smile
If she was a phone
I'd pick her up and dial
The fire brigade
Or zero zero zero
She stopped me in my tracks
And I said 'mmm hchello hchello...'
I was sleeping in the sand
With some dreams in my head
That were causing an extension
To the towel and my bed
And the waves were rolling
Like the curves on those legs
Of a sweet beach bella
With that centrefold spread
In the midst of the slumber
I heard some footsteps creeping
And I woke to discover
The woman I'd been dreaming
She knelt down beside
Said 'can I share your pillow?'
I rolled over and I said
'well hchello hchello...'
Some like money making
Some like cars
And some like the houses
With the rooftop spas
And some like to gossip
About some rich sugar daddies
But me and my friends
We like the golden brown honeys
And some like watching people
Living on TV
That's a little strange
If you're asking me
Cos I like to eat and laugh
And **** and play down low
These are the things I know
Well hchello hchello...
Welcome to this night
Welcome to this song
Welcome to these rhymes
That be going on and on
Welcome to the empire
And the funky empire tunes
But most of all welcome
To the bellas in this room...
Well hchello hchello
the cat empire - how to explain
When a room becomes an altar
And what beast that must exist
It flies with music from our lips
And steals a kiss and blows it
Out into the mist
Where castles stand on cliffs
And cobbled streets they wind and drift
And moods are made and set but shift
This place where skies are low
And birds are big
We went to sleep in day
And woke again the same day
We have learned to cheat the time
And find the hours
That the clocks cannot define
As I looked up from that stage
I felt the thing that had been made
And how it raged
And how it raged
How to explain?
Something makes me howl
And shiver to the core
Ah outside if it was raining
Then inside there'd be a storm
We've got a pair of hands for climbing
And a pair of knees to spring
And a pair of balls for strength
And a pair of lungs to sing
And these simple chords
That say: music is the language of us all
To write these songs is to be written
Ah the chorus always knows
What is in store
And what is more the thing that sings us
Is the thing that makes us roar
I felt that beast 'kisso my neck
We clapped our hands
And heard them spread
There was a trumpet and a call
A pack of Spaniards screamed for more
Music is the language of us all
Music is the language of us all
Music is the language of us all
Music is the language of us all
I find it hard to speak emotional
Cos these things are the things that
Can't be said
And when it's struck it strikes
The memory from our heads
Once I wrote to play's
To be immortal for a night
And despite the unknown hours
Something happens
When the light turns out the lights
Then we fade and yawn
To music that's the language of us all
the cat empire - in my pocket
I?ve got a key
And a piece of paper in my pocket deep
In my pocket piece of paper and a key
as I wander through the street
War is there a war
or is there isn?t a war anymore?
Somebody told me that nothing is for sure
Can you hear the ocean roar
On each street is a tree
In the distance the desert sleeps
Sometimes a sigh is a song
And a breath is a melody
Oceans rise and oceans fall
So just what does tomorrow mean?
I give smile a give a song
For one moment?s eternity
Na na na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na
Oh but it?s some mob
Some mob that brought me here I know it is my job
To seek my fortune Nanna thank you for this mob
Remember you now you are gone
If I went away
Tropical island somewhere sunny every day
But everyone I ever cared about remained
Would I tan or would I fade?
So every morning he wake
Spend his day at the daybreak
And every spoonful he take
Be of something his own make
Mountains rise and mountains fall
So just what does forever mean?
I give a smile I give a song
For one moment?s eternity
CHORUS
the cat empire - know your name
Know your name
And sing it loud
Know your na-a-a-a-ame
Though I'm saying this again
Know your name
And sing it loud
Though I listen when you talk to me
Your eyes, they seem cold
And I wish I might remind you of the time
When they held the sky
On and on the song seems to find you alone
When it rains
I hear that sound
When it ra-a-a-a-ains
All that pain
Washing down
When it rains
I hear that sound
Though I listen when you talk to me
Your eyes, they seem cold
And I wish I might remind you of the time
When they held the sky
Why'd your spirit cry? My oh my
You should have seen you in your prime
the cat empire - l hotel de californie
Sur une route noire du désert
'Y avait du vent dans mes cheveux
L'odeur des colitas s'est levée comme l'enfer
Et puis loin devant moi
J'ai vu une lumière toute petite
Ma tête est bien lourde
Mes yeux se sont foncés
Il fallait m'arrêter pour la nuit
Elle était là, devant la porte
L'heure se sonnait tout précis
Et je me pensais
Ce devrait être l'enfer ou le paradis
Puis elle a frappé du feu une bougie
Et l'intérieur s'est illuminé
J'ai entendu des voix dans la nuit
Qu'est-ce qu'elles disaient?
Elles disaient...
Bienvenue à l'Hôtel de Californie
C'est tellement beau
C'est tellement beau
'Y a plein de chambres à l'Hôtel de Californie
N'importe quand, on y trouvera certain monde
'Y a des miroirs sur le plafond
Et la champagne arrosée
Elle a dit: "on est tous que des prisonniers
Qu'est-ce qu'on a fait
Dans les chambres du maître
Ils se sont rassemblés pour la fête
Ils attaquent avec des couteaux de fer
Mais ils peuvent pas tuer la bête
Je me souviens d'une chose encore
Je me suis rué vers la porte
Il me faillait trouver la route
La route qui se finit dehors
Mais calme-toi, les sécurités
Nous sommes programmés pour dire « bonjour, allez »
Vous pouvez dire au revoir quand vous voulez
Mais vous ne partirez jamais
Bienvenue à l'Hôtel de Californie
C'est tellement beau
C'est tellement beau
'Y a plein de chambres à l'Hôtel de Californie
N'importe quand, on y trouvera certain monde
Lalalala
Lalalala
Ah oui, c'est ça
Ah oui, monsieur
the cat empire - lonely moon
Girl in the park one day
Killing all the bugs on the pavement
Seems like she got a nasty streak
But she does it in a beautiful way
Like a bullet from a gun
She sparks and then she runs
The only thing she's sure of
Is that no one really understands
Sometimes ... talking about
Things just seem so strange
Lie awake in the lonely night
Things just seem so strange
Maybe it's all prearranged
Tears on an empty page
Look out the window see the full moon bloom and
This is what he says, baby
Don't you worry
When you feel so lonely, cos
Everyone's lonely
They're all crazy too
Like their mothers
Like their fathers
Everyone's crazy
Under a lonely moon
Sometimes she gets this way
About her when she sways
Slips into a liquid tune
And vanishes away
And it's only for herself
She can't bring anyone else
Everyone's got a special box
That they keep on a dusty shelf
Such a beautiful dangerous thing
Beautiful and strange
Making love to the night itself
Beautiful and strange
Maybe it's all prearranged
Tears on an empty page
Look out the window see the full moon bloom
This is what he says, baby
Don't you worry
If people call you crazy cos
Everyone's crazy
They're all lonely too
Like their mothers
Like their fathers
Everyone's crazy
Under a lonely moon
