NINE CATS (S. Wilson - A. Duffy)
Am D
The butterfly sailed on the breeze
Fmaj7 E
Past a field of barbed wire trees
Am D
Where golden dragons chased around
Fmaj7 E
Pampered poppies on the ground
C Am Fmaj7
Two silver trout sat way on high
C G Am Fmaj
And watched a royal samurai
C Am Fmaj7
Plant two black orchids in a box
C G Am Fmaj7
And strap it to a laughing fox
Am D
A minstrel bought a crooked spoon
Am D
He gave it to a blue baboon
Am D
Who filled it full of virgin snow
Fmaj7 G Am
And watched it in the afterglow
Fat toad stood in his ballet shoes
Teaching sixteen kangaroos
How to skip across a lake
They found it hard to stay awake
A pharaoh played a merry tune
And watched nine cats dance on the moon
I didn't know what all this meant
I didn't know why I'd been sent.
The Insignificance version of Nine Cats has the following additional verse at the end:
I threw 5 clocks down on my bed
The chimes danced out on golden threads
And turned to footprints on my wall
Sequined tears began to fall

| I've never done drugs, and this song probably doesn't make sense unless you're on them. But I love it anyway. It's a great tune. | |

| Hence the last added verse in the acoutic "Insignificant" version, that is taken from The Nostalgia Factory text. | |

| This sounds like one big mushroom trip. Don't listen to this if you aren't on shrooms, or else you'll start thinking of rational meanings for it, and it will ruin it completely. | |

| yeah, most of the early songs had duffy lyrics. but i know for a fact that Radioactive Toy and Synesthesia were written entirely by steve wilson. anyways, this rock songs. so chill, so killer. i can't help but connect this song with Fake Plastic Trees by Radiohead......and i don't know why. | |
