na ressaca do punk, lembro-me bem, veio uma vaga de grupos mais orientados para uma pop comercial. 
um dos melhores foram os squeeze, de chris difford e glenn tilbrook. e no piano estava jools holland, 
actualmente famoso por ser o apresentador do programa “later...” da bbc, sempre com grande música ao vivo. 
juntos escreveram algumas canções que ainda dá gosto ouvir. é o caso deste clássico (que tem algo de rap), 
que ouvi ontem e me fez recordar a foto e o poema que se seguem...

the indians send signals


from the rocks above the pass


the cowboys take positions


in the bushes and the grass



the squaw is with the corporal


she is tied against the tree


she doesn't mind the language


it's the beating she don't need



she lets loose all the horses


when the corporal is asleep


and he wakes to find the fire's dead


and arrows in his hat



and davy crockett rides around


and says it's cool for cats


the sweeney's doing ninety


'cause they've got the word to go



they get a gang of villains


in a shed up at heathrow


they're counting out the fivers


when the handcuffs lock again



in and out of wandsworth


with the numbers on their names


it's funny how their missus'


always look the bleeding same



and meanwhile at the station


there's a couple of likely lads


who swear like how's your father


and they're very cool for cats


to change the mood a little


i've been posing down the pub


on seeing my reflection


i'm looking slightly rough



i fancy this, i fancy that


i want to be so flash


i give a little muscle


and i spend a little cash



but all i get is bitter and a nasty little rash


and by the time i'm sober


i've forgotten what i've had


and everybody tells me that it's cool to be a cat


shake up at the disco


and i think i've got a pull


i ask her lots of questions


and she hangs on to the wall



i kiss her for the first time


and then i take her home


i'm invited in for coffee


and i give the dog a bone



she likes to go to discos


but she's never on her own


i said i'll see you later


and i give her some old chat



but it's not like that on the t.v.


when it's cool for cats


it's cool for cats
