Family (UK rock band) - The Cat and the Rat lyrics

Well you can kick at a cat, stamp on a rat
But you bet your sweet life you won't make it
Yeah the odds are against
It's a barbed wire fence
And you're caught by the ass
You can't shake it
You get the cat and the rat
If you've got a big sack
Beat 'em to death in your own little trap

Well you're caught in a storm
Your shoes they got worn
They're insane at the rain
They can't break it
Yeah, you think of the ones
The impotent Johns
And you're glad you're alive and can shake it
Well you're caught in a storm
Your shoes they got worn
They're insane at the rain
They can't break it
Yeah, you think of the ones
The impotent Johns
And you're glad you're alive and can shake it

Well you can kick at a cat, stamp on a rat
But you bet your sweet life you won't make it
Yeah the odds are against
It's a barbed wire fence
And you're caught by the ass
You can't shake it
You get the cat and the rat
If you've got a big sack
Beat 'em to death in your own little trap

Well you're caught in a storm
Your shoes they got worn
They're insane at the rain
They can't break it
Yeah, you think of the ones
The impotent Johns
And you're glad you're alive and can shake it

Well you're caught in a storm
Your shoes they got worn
They're insane at the rain
They can't break it
Yeah, you think of the ones
The impotent Johns
And you're glad you're alive and can shake it

You can shake it!
