Bonnie Prince Billy I Confess
I confess that I killed the cat
The cat was speckled and fat
He was an angry cat
But I thought he was laughing
I confess that I hit my brother
That I trapped my mother
And I struck my sister
Her nose was bleeding
I confessed to the priest one day
He said, "Undress your soul and go away"
I undressed and what did he say
He started laughing
I recall a big black bird
He flapped his wings, the sound was heard over the
town,
When he pounced on me
I wasn't breathing
I did it, I said it
I did it, I said it
I did it, I said it all the time
I did it, I said it
I did it, I said it all the time
I cried a million tears
I've been crying through the years
Too many wines and too many beers
I'm feeling dozy
I know that I'm not the one
I'm a rebel, and a rebel is alone
Wherever you go, you'll find the same
Everybody is breeding
And you reach out, and say that you're mine
Make me much better, and I'm waiting on time
For the time when I feel like you
So optimistic
I confess that I killed the cat
The cat was speckled and fat
He was an angry cat
But I thought he was laughing
I did it, I said it
I did it, I said it
I did it, I said it all the time
I did it, I said it
I did it, I said it
I did it, I said it all the time
