The Cat Empire - 1001 lyrics

Parking Inspector - just made my list of one thousand one thousand and one but ah Parking Inspector Went to my friends when I found a fine beat cos I like to play a rhythm where the rhythm plays me play it all day on a balcony above the street where old Franky and me we shuffle with our feet And old man Goergie takes some sugar with his tea when he's stirred by a melody of hands moving easy you see it reminds him dreams by the sea where the breeze blows underneath that island tree And we played til the playing Gave us the munchies then we played in the kitchen made the easy gods happy cos we left them a little chilli-special and some chocolate we eat because it's sweet when I leave I am smiling at the things I haven't done oh I haven't broke a sweat and I haven't had to run for the list of one-thousand -and-one that does plague me on some days when the sun rays don't come Parking Inspector just made my list of one thousand one thousand and one but ah Parking Inspector (won't let you wreck my fun) When I get to my car I am faced with a sight that is strange and it's sad and it's mad it's not right there's one thousand and one spaces free but I see that he find me guilty of the time over fee Now I know why my mother why my mother warned me said 'you might be lucky but know nothing comes for free' she is right - entirely cos the ticket paid the song that I sing to this beat Parking inspector just made my list of one thousand one thousand and one but ah parking inspector won't let you wreck my fun cos when I pay for my ticket I won't curse and despise no i'll run into the girl with the slinky blue eyes then my list of one thousand and one will remain I had plans to get it done but now my plans they have changed Parking Inspector just made my list of one thousand one thousand and one but ah Parking Inspector 'just listen to the ba** and the funky drums' Parking Inspector just made my list of one thousand grow a little more but ah parking inspector you won't believe what I saw on the back of my ticket with invisible type was a map to the place with one thousand delights and a key that was one to that spot by the sea where the breeze blows underneath that island tree
