Wuffles
31 Mar 2010, Music for the Blind, track 38
You are a fluffy, white and very pampered male cat named Florence. You spend your days lounging by the window sill, drinking in the warm rays of the sunlight, or eating the food your pet offers you in return for your fifteen years of noble companionship. You have spent the day relaxing and enjoying being worshiped by your pet when your pet's mate brings home a new puppy. This will cut the attention they give you in half. The song would be Florence's thoughts on the matter.
i can see how i may have seemed
a tad unserene
but when everyone who loved me turned away
can you not see how that might be
a little distressing for me
it's not that i resent you
it's not your fault
but when you arrived on the scene, i-
i was torn in two
we have been invaded
if he had come into a family with no one else
if he'd just left us all alone
if he'd just left us all alone
if he had let me be the centre of attention i would still be on my throne
i would still be on my throne
i would still be on my own
----
tell me why
tell me why you brought him home
tell me how
tell me how you forgot, you know this
house is mine
this is my shrine
this used to be my home, i used to be welcome
----
i want you to know just what
just what you've done to me
i can't just sit and let this happen
i still care
i still care about you
i'm all alone
but you no longer seem to care for me
this house, no home
he's everything that i have tried to be
----
i can take no more
more of this
i can take no more
more of this rejection
i can take no more
more of him
i can take no more
stealing your affection
how can you not see
what he's done
how can you not see
what he's done to me and
i can not ignore
ignore me if you must, but realise
that you are going to start a war
----
imagine, if you can, what it is like
when all that's left for you is
scratching on the door
because they've locked it
and forgotten you are there
i can not just sit and watch and smile and be indifferent
i can
i can try to help myself, i can take action, i can live or i can
die, you must die, i must kill you
i must kill you
i promised myself i'd see this through
i'll see this through
destroying you is the only chance that i have left to be the only one that they will ever care about again
and i will not let this one go
i can't, i know
and despite what i have done and in the face of my intentions
there's a worry, there's a hesitance
and maybe i was wrong
but now i'm sitting and i'm waiting for my plans to reach fruition
wuffles, oh wuffles
for a moment i could have stopped it
wuffles
now it's gone
run
if you had come into a family with no one else
you would have never even known
you would have never even known
you would have always been the centre of attention
wouldn't be there on your own
you wouldn't be quite so alone
they wouldn't be quite so alone
and even though i miss the days when i was all i knew
there must have been a way
must
i could have compromised with you
with you
