Metric – Lost Kitten lyrics
Don't say yes if you can't say no
Victim of a system, say it isn't so
Squatted on the doorstep
Swallowed on the blow
Leaving without you, can't say no

Halfway starts with happiness for me
Halfway house, lost kitten in a street
Hit me where it hurts
I'm coming home to lose
Kitten on the catwalk, high-heeled shoes

No more hotheaded Saturdays
They got it, they want it, they give it away
Tell me one thing you would never do
I was looking for a hooker when I found you

You've got my eyes, you've got my eyes
You'll never be mine
But you got my eyes

When you lie
I cover it up
When you hide
I cover it up
When you cry
I cover it up
When you come undone
I cover it up

So pent up I was coming onto you
Happy in the night-time, howling at the moon
Sipping on a cocktail, drinking in the loo
There's something about you that I hold on to

You've got my eyes, you've got my eyes
You'll never be mine
But you got my eyes

When you lie
I cover it up
When you hide
I cover it up
When you cry
I cover it up
When you blend
I cover it up

When you lie
I cover it up
When you hide
I cover it up
When you cry
I cover it up
When you come undone
I cover it up

They got it, they want it, they give it away (x4)

When you lie
I cover it up
When you hide
I cover it up
When you cry
I cover it up
When you come undone
I cover it up

    I've listened to this song way too many times over the last several days. It's possible that it could be what it looks like on the surface: A song about a prostitute that is also addicted to drugs and gave up a child. Part of the lyrics are from the child's perspective, and another part is from the mother's. On the other hand, there are plenty of songs that aren't meant to be literal. I bounced around the ideas of the song being only about drugs, only about prostitutes, only about an affair. None of them fit all the lyrics but I think it is possible this song is about an abusive relationship where the singer is addicted to the relationship but the other person abuses her. And then the singer feels like a prostitute for giving herself to that person. The words "You've got my eyes" would not be taken literally, but would be like the phrase "I only have eyes for you": aka she loves him but he'll never be hers because he's abusive and doesn't love her but instead abuses her

    Fantastic song. I'm probably wrong, but it sounds like she has a love for a hooker/stripper with a drug problem? That's what I thought at first, but then the part where she says "you've got my eyes" sounds like she's talking about a child that she gave up. And the chorus "when you lie, i cover it up, when you hide, i cover it up" sounds like she's defending the person's problem. Maybe the song is coming from two different perspectives? I really wanna hear what other people think because I'm confused. Emily haines never fails to write an amazing yet intriguing piece.
