Nine Cats Porcupine Tree
NINE CATS (S. Wilson - A. Duffy)
[Am]The butterfly sailed on the bre[D]eze
[Fmaj7]Past a field of barbed wire tr[E]ees
[Am]Where golden dragons chased aro[D]und
[Fmaj7]Pampered poppies on the gr[E]ound
[C]Two silver trout sat way on h[Am]igh[Fmaj7]
[C]And watched a r[G]oyal samur[Am]ai [Fmaj]
[C]Plant two black orchids in a b[Am]ox[Fmaj7]
A[C]nd strap it t[G]o a laughing f[Am]ox[Fmaj7]
[Am]A minstrel bought a crooked sp[D]oon
[Am]He gave it to a blue bab[D]oon
[Am]Who filled it full of virgin s[D]now
And w[Fmaj7]atched it i[G]n the afterg[Am]low
Fat toad stood in his ballet shoes
Teaching sixteen kangaroos
How to skip across a lake
They found it hard to stay awake
A pharaoh played a merry tune
And watched nine cats dance on the moon
I didn't know what all this meant
I didn't know why I'd been sent.
The Insignificance version of Nine Cats has the following additional verse at the end:
I threw 5 clocks down on my bed
The chimes danced out on golden threads
And turned to footprints on my wall
Sequined tears began to fall
