Lyrics and translation

Original

We move like cagey tigers so we couldn't get closer than this.

The way we walk, the way we talk, the way we stalk, the way we kiss.

We slip through the streets while everyone sleeps, getting bigger and sleeker and wider and brighter. We bite and scratch and scream all night.

Let's go and throw all the songs we know. Into the sea, you and me. All these years and no one heard.

I'll show you in spring, it's a treacherous thing. We missed you.

Here's the love cats.

We missed you. Here's the love cats.

You're so wonderfully, wonderfully, wonderfully, wonderfully pretty.

Oh, you know that I'll do anything for you.

We should have each other to tea, huh?

We should have each other with cream. Then curl up in a fire and sleep for a while.

It's the curviest thing, it's the perfect dream. Into the sea, you and me.

All the years and no one heard. I'll show you in spring, it's a treacherous thing.

We missed you. Here's the love cats.

Missed you. Here's the love cats.

We missed you. Here's the love cats.

You're so wonderfully, wonderfully, wonderfully, wonderfully pretty.

You know that I'll do anything for you.

We should have each other for dinner. You should have each other with cream.

Then curl up in a fire, get up for a while.

It's the curviest thing, it's the perfect dream.

Hand in hand is the only way to land and know it's the right way round.

Love broken in peace like Hitler when he says, "How could we miss someone as dumb as this? "
