| | Plea From A Cat Named Virtue Lyrics Artist(Band):The Weakerthans
I'm tired of this piece of string. You sleep as much as I do now, and you don't eat much of anything. I don't know who you're talking to I made a search through every room, but all I found was dust that moved in shadows of the afternoon. And listen, about those bitter songs you sing? They're not helping anything. They won't make you strong. So, we should open up the house. Invite the tabby two doors down. You could ask your sister, if she doesn't bring her Basset Hound. Ask of things you shouldn't miss: tape-hiss and the Modern Man, The Cold War and Card Catalogues, to come and join us if they can, for girly drinks and parlor games. We'll pass around the easy lie of absolutely no regrets, and later maybe you could try to let your losses dangle off the sharp edge of a century, and talk about the weather, or how the weather used to be. And I'll cater with all the birds that I can kill. Let their tiny feathers fill disappointment. Lie down; lick the sorrow from your skin. Scratch the terror and begin to believe you're strong. All you ever want to do is drink and watch TV, and frankly that thing doesn't really interest me. I swear I'm going to bite you hard and taste your tinny blood if you don't stop the self-defeating lies you've been repeating since the day you brought me home. I know you're strong.

Review about Plea From A Cat Named Virtue Response to Alec | Reviewer: JayMac | 10/14/09 I think this song is about a combination of John's close connection with his cat, as we see on the album, "Reunion Tour" there is a song titled, "Virtue the Cat Explains Her Departure" (about the life of his cat and her passing away) and him kind of imaging himself as his cat sees him. Many psychologists say that the way we image people view us is how we truly view ourselves. In this song the cat sees him as a depressed person sleeping all the time, not eating, singing bitter song. The only inclination that we get his depression is caused by a sour relationship is in the line, "I don't know who you're talking to I made a search through every room, but all I found was dust that moved in shadows of the afternoon." Which can imply that he is maybe talking of the phone to someone or more likely he is talking to himself. Great song | Reviewer: Alec | 4/19/09 It's a fantastic song, but you fellows know that it isn't really a song from a cat's POV, right? Think more inter-personal relationship. Perhaps old John Sampson had some girl troubles? As for the Girlie drinks & Parlour Games, he's trying to tell this woman to go out, stop being so introspective, and do what she once did. Live. The Cat's point of view is just a brilliant way to achieve this fly-on-the-wall observation point for this troubled woman. Or I could be wrong, and he just really connects with his cat. Could be, I suppose. So | Reviewer: Michael | 2/8/09 what's that bit in the middle about Cold War and card catalogues, do you think, and the girlie drinks and parlour games? Seems it drifts there somewhat, which is a shame in terms of artistic efficiency. Michael II A unique perspective | Reviewer: Michael | 11/19/08 Only someone who has lived for years with a cat and developed a real relationship with that small creature could understand that this song is in fact what cat would say if they had the capacity. Insightful lyrics emphasized by strong, fast moving and sometimes melodic riffs create an exhilarating and inspiring thoughtful Plea From A Cat Named Virtue. I never get tired of this song. And neither does my cat Mac.
