Do you ever feel estranged, Like it's never been the same? Absent from the tip of the tongue You can leave it for another day, yea Keep your mouth shut and let me open your mind for you, for you

Sister Marie 02:35
Oh, Sister Marie; she's gone crazy What happened to that wonderful lady? Take her out of our home You need some time alone Sister, Sister Marie Oh, Sister, how don'y you know? Sister, Sister Marie Oh, Sister, your fuse has blown Oh, Sister Marie; you're insane You don't know how to rack that brain of yours But you're out of our home You need some time alone Sister, Sister Marie Oh, Sister, how don'y you know? Sister, Sister Marie Oh, Sister, your madness has grown You've drawn everyone away from you You've scorned everyone the same You've drawn everyone away from you Are you as mad as they claim? Oh, Sister Marie My Sister Marie (Won't you please answer me, yea)

Your love for me Has been lingering so So comforting I will let you know I want your hand To take it on the stand You make me high So let's give us a try My dearest Emily Richardson You have brought me to myself Stray black and white You cried on through the night Fur damp with rain And you cried for our names Oh, be with us Now here you shall stay To take our love To brighten up our days My dearest Emily Richardson You have brought me to myself I'll stay by here And root into this seat Time goes by But I've laid my feet down To draw by you Is all that I could ask Before you sleep I'll make this moment last My dearest Emily Richardson You have brought me to myself

Skipping over the vacant plains They sing along to their songs Laughing madly, they seek only to play It's what keeps them dancing, night and day Why don't you join and sing their songs We can drink and laugh until we see the sun Having only but moment to spend Until we noticed that we've paid it all away, yea Come along now and we will see What's been waiting for you and me The Laughing Cats will sing for all We dance with them until we fall Come along now and sing their songs We can drink and laugh until we see the sun Having only but moment to spend Until we noticed that we've paid it all away... away... away (The Laughing Cats will never end Love, love, love, love)
5.
Rest now in your hammock Swinging between the trees In the yellow green fields So gentle and so free Room for one and another Above the raging barker On the yellow green fields So gentle, resting with them all And oh so careless and so free

Mother 03:46
Can you let me Speak for you Let me show you To let you know Hugging onto giant shoulders Standing on the velvet wooden chair Can you let me pass on your love to mother from me Love from me, love from me, yea Oh father, oh mother I want to tell you so Your father, your mother Don't do as they've told Hugging onto giant shoulders Standing on the velvet wooden chair Can you let me pass on your love to mother from me Love from me, love from me, yea Tentative little one, you speak of love I will let you carry on forth Gracious mother, let him speak for another Let him show you what it is worth
7.
I've seen your books Up on the windows I coughed up a pound So I could keep my own To take it home To make it my own I climbed those pages I ran up my walls I fell into your palm Wanting another I returned for more Subordination I was in your palm I saw the cats, yea And I saw the world you made I am the dog I am the fool What could I do? (BEST REGARDS!!)
8.
Your light seeps into my room It shines away the fear that looms Come take me to where I need to be You are so lovely, please take me and run I am happy 'cuz everyone loves me Oh, oh, oh Newspapers have said it all Here comes help without my call The felines crawled into your eyes You are so lovely, please take me and run I am happy 'cuz everyone loves me Oh, oh, oh Came through in the midnight hours When what's built up had fallen apart You have come and made this ours You are so lovely, please take me and run I am happy 'cuz everyone loves me Oh, oh, oh (Sha cha cha hah)

My time has come I am done St. Mary holds me St. Mary holds me My time has run dry I have died St. Mary holds me St. Mary holds me My sleep begins Forever sleeping St. Mary holds me St. Mary holds me

about

A concept album based on the life and art of the 19th/20th century artist Louis Wain filled to the brim with frothy psych rock freak outs and tender acoustic sing-songs.
