Lyrics: [F.RIEBL/H.ANGUS]
To the gods in the sky
There’s one thing you can do
You can send us some sun
And we'll play you this tune
Because sitting in our room
Lying down with a scoob
And the sunshine
Through our window
It's days like these
That make us happy
Like a puppy getting lucky
With Lassie hassle-free
Hours passing by
With the beat one two
Said it's days like these kicking back
Just doing what we do
Number one I'd find some
Loving in the sun
With someone that can make me
Growl and hum say hmmm...
A boom boom shak
And the beat that she throw at me
Knocking me flat
Number two
I'd cruise where the grass is smooth
And the sound of the sea
Is a dreamy melody
Snooze all afternoon
Till the night time wake me
Cos shakedown soon
Number three
I'd be dancing like a monkey up a tree
Find sweet simplicity
By kissing my honey
Get funky like Bond
When he's played by Connery
And get crafty
Like Don Corleone
Four
Watching Oliver jam a little more
Remember the night when I saw
What i never never never seen before
Lavender wrestling a rich wild boar
[CHORUS]
HARRY'S NIGHT TIME RHYME
And dirty hands
I like them see
They make the music that we play
Sound oh so sweet
And my mother always made me eat broccoli
And now look at me
I'm as strong as can be
So put some spice in my sauce
Honey in my tea
An ace up my sleeve
And a slinky plan b
And most importantly
My mad family
They named me lucky
And for that I'll sing about
Days like these
About:
Formed in Melbourne, Australia and adored the world over, The Cat Empire is a musical success story that continues to be written. Throughout their 20 year career, the band's stratospheric trajectory has continued unabated, becoming one of Australia's most successful musical exports, growing an army of ardent fans at home and abroad.
Since their teens, the six bound together by a love of music, and bolstered by the career-long guidance of Manager Correne Wilkie, have gone about the business of crafting infectious, genre-embracing anthems and releasing chart-topping, multi-platinum albums to take to the live stage. It was not unusual to find the band performing on main stage bills at iconic international festivals, selling out the world's most famous arenas, mobbed by supporters and media at airports in Spain, and appearing on top rating T.V. shows like Letterman and Leno.
In September 2021, The Cat Empire announced that after 20 years, the band's original line-up would play their final shows together, culminating in a massive show and virtual concert from their hometown of Melbourne in December.
The next chapter of The Cat Empire begins with founding members Felix Riebl and Ollie McGill stepping forward with "a re-imagined, vibrant, cross-cultural, and joyful collective of musicians and artists", with new music planned for 2022.

A classic Aussie song!! DAYS LIKE THESE
Aaah the early days of The Cat Empire - awesome times ❤
Haha the cat empire was ahead of their time. It listens like new music. I'm loving the jams kudos boys and girls waahooo wa oooooh oooh oh
saw you guys live when i was like 10 in ballina, you had the space cowboy open by swallowing a lit flourescent bulb. best gig I've been to so far I wanna see you again so bad! one of the first videos i ever made was a video of a friend and myself doing flips on a trampoline to this song. Some of the best memories i have. Loved going on car trips and pretending to play the brass section while blasting your debut album and cruising with the family.
This is always be a favourite for me and my bff..miss the old day’s,hang out drink and listen the cat empire songs
They truly are the worlds best kept secret!
This is my alarm. I don't regret it.

@Iain Bagnall. Tell all your friends about them. The Cat Empire is the best feel good band in the world. Every song of theirs is a celebration and a joy. They are barely even know in the US but in their home country (Australia, where I'm from ) and in Europe they are golden. Most underrated band EVER.
I hope the fires are getting better in California.
Love from your bushfire buddies in Australia. 🐨💗
2 years after you comment and a fellow Aussie can't agree more!
Have been listening to you guys for years, and still in love with the music you make!
It has inspired me to do so many amazing things and I will continue doing good, thanks the Cat Empire!
They're an incredible group who has endured a lot of adversity.
Underrated
It is a joke how this only has less than 100 000 views and any justin bieber song will have over 10 million views!
This song is SO happy! Love love love. :)
I love this band so much! i can't believe how good you are!! Saludos desde Chile =D
*cheers happily* The Cat Empire for life!

I am so excited to see you guys on the Gurten in july! :-)
My new favorite bye bye lullaby
i like it
Keep rocking dudes. See you May 12 in Brisvegas.
One of my first tattoo's was the Cat Empire emblem on my right calf. Some of the best tunes I've ever heard of pretty much every genre on earth. Love it.
Wtf is up with your name though
Aff, perfeito demais
Felix
Guys, I'm really into this. I've heard their other songs, but none quite with the same reggae-hip hop feel like this. Any suggestions? Thanks :)
I still feel bad.... They told our group off for staring and not dancing couple years ago in Cairns. Such an amazing group we couldn't help but just stand and stare. Plus my girl was pregnant 😅 well at least our boys first concert was a great one lol. ( We bought tickets before we found out) even got him a onesie his first clothes to touch him was Cat Empire Onesie lol. If you haven't seen them live treat yourself next time they touring, trust me it's not just a concert it's an experience. Hahahaha. I just realised I ripped off pink Floyd lol but it's true.
Dunno what the fuck genre this is but I love it
Notoriously Phobic ska, reggae, jazz, Latin music and alternative rock pretty much
Who else has got introduced to the cat empire through Georgia productions
Seems like verse 2 and 3 is missing in the description so I'll comment them below;
Whack, beats splat, wake up on the attack
Work myself frantic to the moon and back
Now it's evening and the sausages are frying out back
I write my rhyme for this track, as the skies fade to black
Now I remember earlier in the day
As I was swimming through the bay
A bass player I know swum my way
He said, "G'day, hey, you wanna go see some reggae?
Starts at eight, and plays through to sunrise the next day"
So 9 o'clock sees me heading out towards the tabernacle
Hardcore reggae beat bring me feet out of these shackles
Hardcore reggae DJ, I salute you, crackle, crackle, crackle
Crackle of the vinyl, now I'm high, now a spectacular night ahead
I met a Mexican called Juan
(There's a party on the hill, would you like to come?)
Yeah (And bring a bottle of rum)
Can't afford it, but I bought it
And then I sung
It's nights like these when you know that you're alive
Nights like these when you know that you got vibe
Nights like these when you don't have to try
Fall in love and kiss and smile from every girl walking by
I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive
And my eyes want to cry 'cause the night and the sky
Is so high and my life is sublime and it's mine and it's time
(It's now time)
Oh, it's nights like these when you know that you're alive
Nights like these when you know that you got vibe
Nights like these when you laugh until you cry
Nights like these when I'm drowning in your eyes
(I feel like I've been living)
Nights like these when you know that you're alive
(My life from the beginning)
Nights like these when you know that you got vibe
(And all the songs I'm singing)
Nights like these when you laugh until you cry
(Is all the love I'm giving)
Thanks :D
;)
