about

This is another Latin song. It features Barbara Snow of the lead voice with Tom Hannah backing. The song is about a mother explaining to a tearful child why the pet cat has bought a dead bird into the house. There is also a Spanish Coro section and finishes with a Latin work-out with solos form the band.

lyrics

Cats Go Out To Kill

Morning brings a bird
On the garden lawn
Where a danger lurks within
He's unaware that yards away
A pair of eyes - a big surprise
A happy cat starts her day.

As the morning wind
Rushes through the air
Instinct starts to rule her will
Thoughts go through her mind
So cruel and so unkind
Coz cats go out to kill.

The bird will never flap his wings
We'll never hear the song he sings
We'll never see the life he lived before.
This time he never got to flee
Or occupy his favourite tree
He's lying dead upon the kitchen floor.

Perhaps I should explain
That life and circle thing
But that won't wash away your tears
It's hard for me to tell a child
This was done - just for fun
Not like it is in the wild.

Watch her walk around
Proud and satisfied
Now that she had her thrill
Don't get too upset about a callous pet
Coz cats go out to kill.
