about

Folks in the UK may remember the escape of Flaviu the Carpathian lynx, which caused a bit of hysteria in the media for some reason. Reports of his size varied considerably, including amazingly helpful 'bigger than a cat but smaller than a lion'.

Anyway, the fuss inspired me to write this song, which is one of my favourites on this album.

The organ section in the middle quotes from 'What if a day?' by Thomas Campion. Hopefully he won't rise from the vengeful dead because I arranged it into waltz-time.

lyrics

LITTLE BIG CAT

Main headline, the story to see
A huge feline has just broken free
He’s mean and vicious and tall as a truck
And if he finds you, well you’re out of luck
So get down on your knees and pray:
‘Cause the little big cat got away

Shut windows and bolt all the doors
The big, bad lynx is roaming the moors
But what’s that shadow? Is he over there?
He’s death on four legs (well, if you’re a hare)
So come on Annie, get your noose
There’s a little big cat on the loose

(Instrumental, including ‘What if a day?’ by Thomas Campion)

Most headlines are out of control
You’d think he could suck out your soul
He’s small and nervous, and they’re on his track
And when he’s hungry, he’ll likely come back
I guess he has to have his fun
There’s a little big cat on the run
