Squeeze - Cool For Cats

Squeeze's hit song "Cool For Cats" was released in 1979 and quickly soared to the top of the charts. Led by Chris Difford and Glenn Tilbrook, the British band showcased their unique blend of new wave and pop rock in this catchy tune. With its infectious guitar riffs and clever lyrics, "Cool For Cats" became an anthem that encapsulated the spirit of the late 70s music scene.

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
And he wakes to find the fires dead and arrows in his hats
And meanwhile at the station, there's a couple of likely lads
But all I get is bitter and a nasty little rash
But it's not like that on the TV when it's cool for cats
Cool for cats
Cool for cats (Cool for cats)
I ask her lots of questions as she hangs onto the wall
I fancy this, I fancy that, I wanna be so flash
I give a little muscle, and I spend a little cash
I kiss her for the first time, and then I take her home
I said, "I'll see you later," and I give her some old chat
I'm invited in for coffee, and I give the dog a bone
I'm seeing my reflection, I'm looking slightly rough
In and out of Wandsworth with the numbers on their names
It's cool for cats (Cool for cats)
It's funny how their Missus always looks the bleeding same
Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh
Shape up at the disco when I think I've got a pull
She doesn't mind the language, it's the beating she don't need
She likes to go to discos, but she's never on her own
The cowboys take position in the bushes and the grass
The Indians send signals from the rocks above the pass
The squaw is with the corporal, she is tied against the tree
The Sweeny's doing 90 'cause they've got the word to go
They're cool for cats (Cool for cats)
They're counting out the fivers when the handcuffs lock again
To change the mood a little, I've been posing down the pub
To get a gang of villains in a shed up at Heathrow
Who swear like how's your father and they're very cool for cats
