Days Like These - The Cat Empire

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 scoop

And the sunshine through our window

It’s days like these that 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

Woah, woah, woah

Number one I wanna find some loving in the sun

With someone that can make me growl and hum

Say, «Hmmm…» a boom a 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

Til the night time wake me cause 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 get 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

Woah, woah, woah

It’s days like these that 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

Woah, woah, woah

Whack, please get back, wake up on the attack

Work myself frantic to the moon and back

Now it’s 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 that you know that your alive

Nights like these that 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 cause the night and the sky

Is so high and my life is sublime and it’s mine and it’s time

(It's now time)

It’s days like these that 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

Woah, woah, woah

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

That made me lucky and for that I’ll sing about days like these
