The Ballad of Daykitty Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Pandabelle 

Cover art for The Ballad of Daykitty lyrics by Lou Barlow

Streetspirit, what the hell are you talking about.

A cat comes from nowhere into his house, where he already has a cat, Hector. He thinks kitty is in love with Hector, but kitty runs away back to the family up the street, it's actual owners, even though they couldn't love the kitty as much as he, Lou, does.

The kitty comes back, Lou takes it to the doctor and finds out it's actually a boy kitty, not a girl kitty, so he takes it home, feeds it a can of beans and Daykitty becomes friends with Hector.

My favourite image in this song is of Daykitty sleeping in Lou's lover's arms.
