Despite its fun, frolicking feel, Robert Smith told Humo Magazine “The Lovecats” was written “about a suicide pact between two lovers”. However, he has also said it was close to being “a perfect pop song” and was inspired by the Disney film Aristocats.
It became the band’s first UK top 10 hit, peak...
The Lovecats Lyrics
[Verse 1]
We move like cagey tigers
We couldn't get closer than this
The way we walk, the way we talk
The way we stalk, the way we kiss
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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 hissed the love cats
We missed you hissed the love cats
[Bridge 1]
We're so wonderfully, wonderfully
Wonderfully, wonderfully pretty
Oh, you know that I'd do anything for you
We should have each other to tea, huh
We should have each other with cream
Then curl up in the fire and sleep for awhile
It's the grooviest thing, it's the perfect dream
[Chorus]
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 hissed the love cats
We missed you hissed the love cats
[Bridge 2]
We're so wonderfully, wonderfully
Wonderfully, wonderfully pretty
Oh, you know that I'd do anything for you
We should have each other to dinner, huh?
We should have each other with cream
Then curl up in the fire, get up for awhile
It's the grooviest thing, it's the perfect dream
[Verse 3]
Hand in hand is the only way to land
And always the right way round
Not broken in pieces, like hated little meeces
How could we miss someone as dumb as this?
[Outro]
We missed you hissed the love cats
We missed
I love you, let's go
Oh, solid gold
How could we miss
Someone as dumb as this?
