Wombats, The - Cheetah Tongue Lyrics






I cut off my head and my cheetah tongue
I can't think straight and my mouth is numb
Don't shut your eyes till we fade to black
Cause maybe this time the good stuff could last

You won me over
My orange cola got black flamingoes crying for ya
Well I'll see you later
I could be your faker
My hands shake like jellyfish when you're near

I cut off my head and my cheetah tongue
I can't think straight and my mouth is numb
Don't shut your eyes till we fade to black
Cause maybe this time the good stuff could last

You're a hammer, sweet firecracker
Stumbling through Chinatown
Liar, liar, my house is on fire
Somewhere between Chinatown and here

I cut off my head and my cheetah tongue
I can't think straight and my mouth is numb
Don't shut your eyes till we fade to black
Cause maybe this time the good stuff could last

Come a little closer, it's alright
I'll be your character with flaws tonight
Come a little closer, my firefly
You're not the only one who doesn't want to be alone tonight

I cut off my head and my cheetah tongue
I can't think straight and my mouth is numb
Don't shut your eyes till we fade to black
Cause maybe this time the good stuff could last

    Круто

  82. J.... C....

    This song is simply amazing, easily the best thing I've heard on radio 1 in 10 years! Thank you Clara Amfo for having the guts to play something different / interesting to the usual Radio 1 catalogue of shat vocoder lame R'n'B bollocks or anything that the sycophantic arse licking tosser, Prick Grimshaw calls music on his poor excuse for a breakfast show. Shame really, he once had great music taste before he lost his integrity...

  83. M.... v....

    Great song

  84. B.... C....

    Nice?very good?No that@s rentunkest

  85. W.... E....

    00:25 seconds really really quickly after it says 8 calories per spin it flashes up 26 calories per spin lol

  86. V.... ....

    It looks like a music from Fifa 06! It's me or what?!!

  87. G.... A....

    I'm slightly worried...just a little

  88. m.... ....

    Great song, great video. I am surprised it hasn't had much more views than what it is currently on.

  89. R.... ....

    This video is aesthetically pleasing for some god damn awful reason.

    0:58 WTF???!?!?!?!!!??

    Just discovered the Wombats - and I'm all in. Deep dive into the discography underway. What an unbelievable first song to be the "discovery" of a new group. BTW, I'm old enough to be the parents of 90% of you, and maybe even a grandparent of some. Grew up with Zeppelin in real time. I may have to risk embarrassing myself at a concert this summer, but I feel the need to get my Indie groove on.Great music is just...... great music. Listen with an open mind.

    c.... ....

    Never too old to enjoy good music! I am 34 and saw them at Lollaplooza 2018. They were awesome!

    c.... ....

    I'm 49 and love the Wombats. They remind me of Suede, the 1990's Indie band who sang Metal Mickey, Animal Nitrate, Beautiful Ones and many other fabulous tracks.

    c.... ....

    @Saxon Rascal omg I love suede! I'm 21 and I've been listening to the wombats for as long as I can remember, but suede I only discovered a few years ago. I never thought about the two being similar but it's so true

    c.... ....

    I’m a grandmother, I found these guys earlier this year, and love them. My youngest, who is 20, picked up my phone, scrolled through my playlist, and said my taste in music is ‘suspiciously good for someone who loves to crochet’.

    c.... ....

    They opened City of Culture in 2008 and they're very underrated such a great indie band from Liverpool

  93. Z.... T....

    Liked the song came here to see the video now ignoring the song and just watching the video with eyes wide open 👀

  94. t.... ....

    i love this
