“In the Court of the Cat King”
Bilious the moon
Swollen on our gloom.
Seems prematurely June,
I’ve yet of May to sing.
A year of plague and penury
How long til it’s a memory?
How long is a piece of string
In the court of the Cat King?
‘As long as I say it is,
As long as I say!’
All of us are prey,
We forget along the way,
Lured by the toxic spring
Along the river to the court of the Cat King…
Along the river of oblivion,
Writ on the waters of oblivion,
Every letter from a father to son,
Every lyric of a love unsung.
All of us are prey,
We forget along the way,
All of us are summer rain
on winter clay.
None of us are free, (but my bird, it flies!)
But imagine it to be, (and my bird, it sings!)
How long will your songbird sing
Until it’s caught in the court of the Kingdom of the Cat King?
‘As long as I say it will,
As long as I say!’
Lyrics by Glenn A Richards (Sony/ATV Music Publishing)
youre an unt Richo... always pulling me back into the fray....albums amazing
Dead magnificent, this.
The brilliance of Glenn Richards - and by extension, Augie March - can best be described as the kindest, gentlest drug in existence. Rather than run rampant through your blood stream, or attack brain cells, it seeps into your soul. And the dependency is exhilarating.
True dat. My brother put me on to Augie March and it’s the most fabulous present I’ve ever received 😀
One of the most brilliant and steady tributaries to music's vast river
Loved this song first listen but it continues to grow on me like a good garden. Thank you Glenn.
Btw, is it just me or is the song a little slower on TH-cam as opposed to Spotify?
Headphones. Wow!
@@benjaminstevens4568 48khz video vs 44.1khz audio only perhaps ?

What a gem. My new favourite song!
Really great track!
Good shit
