Red House Painters - Wop-a-Din-Din

She's got big green eyes
And a long Egyptian face
She moves across the floor
At her own pace
When I'm here in bed
She'll jump up on my chest
And when we lock eyes there's so much love
I wanna cry

She comes in near
When I scratch under her ear
And she lifts her head
When I kiss around her neck

Won't go to sleep
When she falls along my side
And two green eyes fade
To a porcelain marble white
And somehow when I sleep
She'll end up at my feet
And if I roll and kick her out
I might knock her to the ground
But she'll come back anyhow

Ella es muy vital
más triste que salir el sol
pura como el agua
???

The morning comes
She squints up to shield out the sun
And she'll go and lay
In the warmest dusty rays
And I hold her face
She lays perfectly in place
And she'll yawn and stretch
And stare me down expressionless
And lay back down into her nest

And if someone calls
She'll race me out the hall
When she hears the phone
Then she knows I'm leaving home
She don't wanna be alone

And I know it's wrong
That I'm going away so long
And for her it's rough
I can't be with her enough
But I'll never give her enough

Ella es muy vital
más triste que salir el sol
pura como el agua
???

And somehow when I sleep
She'll end up at my feet
And if I roll and kick her out
I might knock her to the ground

Best song about a meow meow ever.

@michelleinhawaii how come so many women have either boned Mark Kozelek and/or taken care of his cat.

@AJamesKB it's cool man, no harm done :)

[AJamesKB]

@SHerbiePK I know. I was just teasing. No harm intended.

[SHerbiePK]

@AJamesKB Shit happens..

[AJamesKB]

@SHerbiePK Uh Oh. Someone doesn't know Red House Painters as well as they think they do...

[SHerbiePK]

Why do so many people think he's singing about his cat? He's singing about his dog... jeez.

the words the you have missed, at least at the second verse I think it's "la amo mas que nadie", "I lover her more than anybody" but his spanish is the worst I've heard since "should I stay or shoul I go" by The Cash..

the Devil In The Woods 7" version of this song is stunning!

Heard the lyrics to this song 1 month after finding out my beloved cat Lemmy had cancer and would soon be leaving us. I was a puddle of tears. Lemmy was so distressed to see me crying,he came over to see what was wrong by putting his paws in my lap and looking up at me. He's gone now but listening to this song reminds me of the bond we had. I miss him.
