Heart of a Lion
by Puce
this song is like a choose-your-own adventure: it can be about cats OR girlfriends. Take your pick!*

My girl has a bit of a wild side
she sleeps all day and stays out all night
she’s always ready to start a cat fight
she may never bark but she has quite a bite

But when there’s trouble she always seems to come out fine and land on her feet
I’ve almost started to think that she might have nine lives because she’s so lucky
Oh she's cool, and she acts so sophisticated
but she can be so cruel, I wouldn’t say she’s quite domesticated

She's as sleek as a jaguar, has the eye of the tiger
and the heart of a lion is beating inside her
And when I describe her it seems so unlikely
That such a wild creature would live alongside me

When she kneeds me she’s been known to leave
her claw marks up and down my back
So I’ve learned to treat her how she pleases,
rub her the wrong way and you’ll get a scratch

She’s got this look that I’ve come to know means she’s hungry and could jump anyone
I’d complain but it’s so hard to speak properly when the cats got your tongue
Oh she's cool, and she acts so sophisticated
but she can be so cruel, I wouldn’t say she’s quite domesticated

She's as sleek as a jaguar, has the eye of the tiger
and the heart of a lion is beating inside her
And when I describe her it seems so unlikely
That such a wild creature would live alongside me

Neat lyrical context – I like the extended metaphor. Fat drums great – neat bells. Kicking in on the chorus is great, the way the guitar slings in. Was the non- optional challenge to feature electric piano this week? Arrangement varied in classic Puce style. “Cat’s got your tongue” – lyrics really good - “Domesticated” I think there are a few issues with the mix, which is rare for you, but I suspect you already wish you had another 4 hours to mix.

Excellent final. I’ll listen more and lodge my vote in time – I urge all of this years Ein-ers to do the same.

Nur Ein!

PS - I also think the judges should not vote on the last round - let the vote go as announced in the original rules.

You pretty much wrote your own review:
*That is what it sounded like to me too. The lyrics here are really quite good - a lot of nice lines - but it really struck me like a half-finished song, or a rush job on the tune - and you just confirmed that.*
I noticed the keys - mainly because it wasn't the absoute perfect precision type stuff we expect from you. The slight sloppiness was a nice touch really. Likewise, the vocals weren't as sharp as we usually expect from you (though your sloppy vocals are still streets ahead of most).
Overall - this sounds there could be a pretty good pop song hidden in there somewhere - but this arrangement sounded pretty flat.
