The Cat Empire - Days Like These (with lyrics)

And to the gods in the sky
There's one thing you can do
You can send us some sun
And we'll play you this tune
Because sitting in our room
Lying down with a scoob
And the sunshine through our window

It's days like these
That'll make us happy
Like a puppy getting lucky with Lassie
Hassle-free hours passing by
With that beat (one two)
Singing Days Like These kicking back
Just doing what we do (whoa x3)

Number one I'd find some
Loving in the sun
With someone that can make me
Growl and hum say hmmm...
A boom boom shak
And the beat that she throw at me
Knocking me flat

Number two
I'd cruise where the grass is smooth
And the sound of the sea
Is a dreamy melody
Snooze all afternoon
Till the night time wake me
Cos shakedown soon

Number three
I'd be dancing like a monkey up a tree
Find sweet simplicity
By kissing my honey
Get funky like Bond
When he's played by Connery
And crafty like Don Corleone

Four
Watching Oliver jam a little more
Remember the night when I saw
What I never never never seen before
Lavender wrestling a rich wild boar (whoa x3)

It's days like these
That'll make us happy
Like a puppy getting lucky with Lassie
Hassle-free hours passing by
With that beat (one two)
Singing Days Like These kicking back
Just doing what we do (whoa x3)

* Harry's Night Time Rhyme *

Whack
Beats splat
Wake up on the attack
Work myself frantic to the moon and back
Now its evening and the sausages are frying out back
I write my rhyme for this track
As the sky fade to black

Now I remember earlier in the day
As I was swimming through the bay
A bass player I know swum my way
He said 'G'day,
Hey wanna go see some reggae?
Starts at 8 and plays through to sunrise the next day'

So 9 o'clock sees me heading out towards to tabernacle
Hardcore reggae beat bring me feet out of these shackles
Hardcore reggae DJ I Salute you
Crackle Crackle Crackle Crackle of the vinyl
Now I'm high
Now a spectacular night ahead

I met a Mexican called Juan
(There's a party on the hill would you like to come)
Yeah
(And bring a bottle of rum)
Can't afford it, but I bought it
Right then I sung

It's nights like these when you know that your alive
Nights like these when you know that you got fire
Nights like these when you don't have to try
Fall in love and kiss and smile from every girl walking by
I'm Alive I'm Alive I'm Alive I'm Alive
And my eyes want to cry
Coz the night and the sky is so high
And my life is sublime and its mine and it's time
(It's now time)
Whoa

It's nights like these when you know that your alive
Nights like these when you know that you got fire
Nights like these when you laugh until you cry
Nights like these when I'm drowning in your eyes

(I feel like I've been living)
It's nights like these when you know that your alive
(My life from the beginning)
Nights like these when you know that you got fire
(And all the songs I'm singing)
Nights like these when you laugh until you cry
(Is all the love I'm giving)

It's days like these
That'll make us happy
Like a puppy getting lucky with Lassie
Hassle-free hours passing by
With that beat (one two)
Singing Days Like These kicking back
Just doing what we do (whoa x3)

And dirty hands
I like them see
They make the music that we play
Sound oh so sweet
And my mother always made me eat broccoli
And now look at me
I'm as strong as can be
So put some spice in my sauce
Honey in my tea
An ace up my sleeve
And a slinky plan B
And most importantly
My mad family
They named me lucky
And for that I'll sing about
Days like these

@Fietje24 OMG, I SOOOO desperately wanted to see them play in Toronto, but I had no way of getting there from where I lived in Barrie. Man, I was sooo bummed, I was literally about to cry. Hoped you had a blast. Next time they make a stop in Toronto, through hell or high water, I'm gonna see em, even if I have to walk there.
