If I Were Cat

from English Singles by Pandev

about

A song written for a film that never made release... so recycled here as a track in which I wonder what it would be like to be Cat Stevens... Also trying out new recording, mixing and mastering software...

lyrics

IF I WERE CAT

If I were “Cat” I’d be chasing my tail through a moon shadow
Waitin’ for the Peace Train that leaves on the morrow

Under a sky of painted blue
That lets the colours shine through and through
Just like your dad’s favorite jeans
Faded to a dream

If I were “Cat” I’d live life to the fill
From Ceylon City down to Abanville
I don’t think I’d be very religious though
Livin’ another life, you never know

But I really wish I knew
What makes me “me” and what makes you “you”
What makes someone “Cat”
Maybe tea with the tillerman is where its at

If I were “Cat” chasing my tail through a moon shadow just like that
Another Saturday night
Just Waitin’ for the light…

If I were “Cat” I don’t think it would change all as much as that
I’d still be sittin’ here with my son
Talkin’ the hours away one by one

If we were “Cat” we’d be chasing our tails through a moon shadow
Without a fear or worry for the morrow

But we’re just ourselves
Lookin’ at our life stories from the bookshelves
I am “me” and he is “he”
Doesn’t really matter what we could be

We ain’t “Cat”
But my boy and myself are what we are
Not gonna worry ‘bout all that
We’re fine and that is at

If we were “Cat”…
