This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Chorus

No guitar played here. You're covered.

Verse

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 like

She ate me up for breakfast

She screwed me in a vice

But now

Chorus

I don't know why

I feel so tongue-tied

Verse

I sat in the cupboard

And wrote it down real 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 in a photo in time magazine

Buried in a burning black hole in Devon

Chorus

I don't know why I feel so tongue-tied

Don't know why

I feel

So skinned alive.

Verse

My thoughts are misguided and a little naive

I twitch and I 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 ass but we all like stars

But 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

Chorus

I don't know why I

Feel so tongue-tied
