Jack Blakey feat. The Cat Empire - Days Like These - #StayHome and Jam #WithMe

‘Feat. The Cat Empire’ is a series of existing supporter covers re-edited to be accompanied by The Cat Empire band members. We found this great video of London-based trumpet player Jack Blakey playing Harry's trumpet solo from the outro of Days Like These, and we thought it deserved some more instruments around it. Take a look at the full series here: https://bit.ly/3beCHeE.

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]
