cool for cats [live at hammersmith odeon, 9 march 1980]
The Indians send signals From the rocks above the pass The cowboys take positions In the bushes and the grass  The squaw is with the corporal She is tied against the tree She doesn't mind the language It's the beating she don't need  She lets loose all the horses When the corporal is asleep And he wakes to find the fire's dead And arrows in his hat  And davy crockett rides around And says it's cool for cats The sweeney's doing ninety 'Cause they've got the word to go  They get a gang of villains In a shed up at heathrow They're counting out the fivers When the handcuffs lock again  In and out of wandsworth With the numbers on their names It's funny how their missus' Always look the bleeding same  And meanwhile at the station There's a couple of likely lads Who swear like how's your father And they're very cool for cats They're cool for cats  To change the mood a little I've been posing down the pub On seeing my reflection I'm looking slightly rough  I fancy this, I fancy that I want to be so flash I give a little muscle And I spend a little cash  But all I get is bitter and a nasty little rash And by the time I'm sober I've forgotten what I've had And everybody tells me that it's cool to be a cat Cool for cats  Shake up at the disco And I think I've got a pull I ask her lots of questions And she hangs on to the wall  I kiss her for the first time And then I take her home I'm invited in for coffee And I give the dog a bone  She likes to go to discos But she's never on her own I said I'll see you later And I give her some old chat  But it's not like that on the T.V. When it's cool for cats It's cool for cats
