The Cat Loves The Mouse

The Beautiful South

Transposer:

[Verse 1] We’ve come a long way from the cave What you started to shave? Now we know just how to behave Since chivalry decided to bathe [Pre-Chorus] And as the skirts we wore were increasingly high Till that was just a cloud in the sky And the chat up lines got increasingly fly As the truth bought a suit and a tie [Chorus 1] The cat loves the mouse the mouse loves the cheese The bees love the birds the birds love those bees The bee loves that honey so honey please Why are we so different to these? [Verse 2] So when I’m old and I’m gray (you know you already are) When I’m overweight (you know you already are) If I’ve overstayed my welcome by a day Just feel free to say (you know I already have) [Pre-Chorus] And as the skirts we wore were increasingly high Till that was just a cloud in the sky And the chat up lines got increasingly fly As the truth bought a suit and a tie [Chorus 2] The cat chases bird to the top of the tree The dog chases postman to the end of the street The postman he chases every girl that he meets So why are we so different to these? [Outro] I’ve been your bird I’ve been your bitch I’ve been whatever B you ever wished I’ve been your cat I’ve been your chick I’ve been which ever C you ever thought to pick I’ve been your bat I’ve been your cow I’ve been whichever and that you’ allow I’ve been your dog your dragon and your duck I’ve been whatever D you thought was cool to buck...

Cette chanson évoque les diverses relations et les complices de nos vies. Elle illustre comment, au fil du temps, les dynamiques changent, tout comme nos comportements et nos attentes dans les relations. Les métaphores animalières telles que le chat qui aime la souris ou l’abeille qui adore la fleur soulignent une certaine simplicité et une intensité des liens, tout en questionnant notre propre complexité en tant qu'êtres humains. Le contexte semble se placer dans une réflexion à la fois nostalgique et humoristique sur l'amour et les relations, surtout à mesure que l'on vieillit. On y sent une légèreté face aux aléas de la vie, tout en reconnaissant que notre nature humaine nous pousse à établir des connexions profondes, malgré nos différences. C'est un joli rappel que, finalement, nos sentiments ne sont pas si éloignés de ceux que l'on retrouve chez les animaux.
