"Gus: The Theatre Cat Lyrics"
Dead Meadow Lyrics
All alone at last, Years roll by so fast. Twisted and insane, The house you built No longer the same. Once you're there Once you're there You can't come back. Nothing lives, Nothing grows Insid
All alone at last, Years roll by so fast. Twisted and insane, The house you built No longer the same. Once you're there Once you're there You can't come back. Nothing lives, Nothing grows Insid

Gus is the cat at the theatre door
His name, as I ought to have told you before
Is really Asparagus, but that's a fuss to pronounce
That we usually call him just Gus
His coat's very shabby, he's thin as a rake
And he suffers from palsy that makes his paw shake
For he was in his youth quite the smartest of cats
But no longer a terror to mice or to rats
For he isn't the cat that he was in his prime
Though his name was quite famous, he says, in his time
And whenever he joins his friends at their club
(Which takes place at the back of the neighbouring pub)
He loves
Into The Darkness Lyrics
Words and music by Graham Nash Into the darkness Soon you'll be sinking What are you doing? What can you be thinking All of your friends Have been trying to warn you That some of your demons Are trying to drag you Chorus Away Into
to regale them, if someone else paysWords and music by Graham Nash Into the darkness Soon you'll be sinking What are you doing? What can you be thinking All of your friends Have been trying to warn you That some of your demons Are trying to drag you Chorus Away Into
With anecdotes drawn from his palmiest days
For he once was a star of the highest degree
He has acted with Irving, he's acted with Tree
And he likes to relate his success on the halls
Where the gallery once gave him seven cat calls
But his grandest creation as he loves to tell
Was Firefrorefiddle, the fiend of the fell
Sir John
I have played in my time every possible part
And I used to know seventy speeches by heart
I'd extemporize backchat, I knew how to gag
And I knew how to let the cat out of the bag
I knew how to act with my back
It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year Lyrics
it's the most wonderful time of the year It's the most wonderful time of the year With the kids jingle-belling And everyone telling you be of good cheer It's the most wonderful time of the year It's the hap-happiest season of all With those holiday greetings and gay
and my tailit's the most wonderful time of the year It's the most wonderful time of the year With the kids jingle-belling And everyone telling you be of good cheer It's the most wonderful time of the year It's the hap-happiest season of all With those holiday greetings and gay
With an hour of rehearsal, I never could fail
I'd a voice that would soften the hardest of hearts
Whether I took the lead, or in character parts
I have sat by the bedside of poor little Nell
When the curfew was rung then I swung on the bell
In the pantomime season, I never fell flat
And I once understudied Dick Whittington's cat
But my grandest creation, as history will tell
was Firefrorefiddle, the fiend of the fell
Sarah
Then, if someone will give him a toothful of gin
He will tell how he once played a part in East Lynne
At a Shakespeare performance he once walke
When You're Smiling Lyrics
When you're smiling When you're smiling The whole world smiles with you When you're laughing Oh, when you're laughing The sun comes shining through But when you're crying You bring on the rain So stop your sighing Be happy againd on pat
When some actor suggested the need for a cat
Sir John
And I say now these kittens, they do not get trained
As we did in the days when Victoria reigned
They never get drilled in a regular troupe
And they think they are smart just to jump through a hoop
Sarah
And he says as he scratches himself with his claws
Sir John
Well the theatre is certainly not what is was
These modern productions are all very well
But there's nothing to equal from what I hear tell
That moment of mystery when I made history
As Firefrorefiddle, the fiend of the fell
When you're smiling When you're smiling The whole world smiles with you When you're laughing Oh, when you're laughing The sun comes shining through But when you're crying You bring on the rain So stop your sighing Be happy again
When some actor suggested the need for a cat
Sir John
And I say now these kittens, they do not get trained
As we did in the days when Victoria reigned
They never get drilled in a regular troupe
And they think they are smart just to jump through a hoop
Sarah
And he says as he scratches himself with his claws
Sir John
Well the theatre is certainly not what is was
These modern productions are all very well
But there's nothing to equal from what I hear tell
That moment of mystery when I made history
As Firefrorefiddle, the fiend of the fell
