CINEMA is the bands first studio release since 2007.
The album is due for release June 25 in Australia, June 29 in Canada, July 6 in the USA, and about a month later in Europe and everywhere else.
Produced by Steve Schram, and recorded at Sing Sing Studios in the bands home town of Melbourne, this is an album which shows The Cat Empire at their very best, right now.
In an age when so much of selling music seems to be about celebrity and fashion, The Cat Empire have risen to be one of Australia and indeed the worlds favourite live acts through sheer musicality and the power of their interaction on stage.
2010 sees the international release and world tour of Cinema, the band's fourth studio album. The album serves up a set which captures the inexorable force - and sheer joy - of their live performances, delivered in a format perfect for lounge-rooms, backyards, BBQ's, cafes, road trips and parties all over the world. This is music which defies definition, but has a sound all of its own.
The only thing we can tell you it is that it is incredibly infectious, undeniably uplifting and definitely danceable,

Feelings Gone
o Lyrics
I used to ride up on the hill
And look down at the darkened
Silhouettes of tall black windowsills
And my heart jumped every ledge
Until one bright morning when I woke
I heard bells, girl she gently spoke and said
Choice my mans to breath or choke
So go die, or learn to hope
Get back on your way at the end of the day
Under the fire and the rain
The whole big bloody parade until that
That feeling, feelings gone
You wake up on your own
Sometimes walls come caving in
Sometimes the world just hits your chin
And sometimes shadows haunt your back
And sometimes I feel so flat
Then like some rare eagle on the wind
Well it turns and life comes bursting in
And the earth you thought would beat you down
Lifts up and lights your ground
Get back on your way at the end of the day
Under the fire and the rain
The whole big bloody parade until that
That feeling, feelings gone
You wake up on your own
/ Lifts up and sends you homeward bound
/ Lifts up and then youre found again
/ Lifts up and turns your world around
/still scarred of love lived on the ledge
And the Earth you thought would eat you up
Well it lifts you high and fills your cup
/carries
And right then I learnt to hope / the point of hope / I knew the way ahead/ to go
/ lifts up and clears your hallowed ground
*So scared that love lived on the edge /
Scared of love lived on the ledge / Like love lived on the ledge
/ As if my love required a ledge
bring you down
Lifts up, your heart just leaves the ground
/and how you love your ground / high above the ground
/ and the earth you thought would end your song song
/ lifts up and now . . . the feelings gone feelings gone
And you wonder how on Earth you
When youre high

Waiting
o Lyrics
This is the last time I will follow you
This is the last time I will follow you at all
Cos woman youre my trouble
And woman Ive been trouble and despair
My only care
Is standing here waiting when youre out there
The wind comes down and all our youth is in loose pages
The wind appeared like you and left the place Id known
Now words have lost their meaning
The words have lost their meaning and shes bored
And I am bored
Im standing here waiting and you dont call
Im standing here waiting and you dont call
Im standing here waiting but you dont call
Im standing here waiting
You took my time I still love you the same
But I fell down every time that you
Came, Came, Came
Every time that you came
The leaves fall gently and like autumn she brings sadness
The leaves are left behind and winters in my bones
But I wont stand here crying
I wont stand here crying anymore
Im off the floor
Im standing here waiting for you thats all
Im standing here waiting and you dont call
Im standing here waiting but you dont call
Im standing here waiting
You took my time I still love you the same
But I fell down every time that you
Came, Came, Came
Every time that you came

Falling
o Lyrics
From the city to the world below
From the strangers to the ones I know
From the darkness to the holy glow
We burn so bright
Can we outlast the show?
From the island to the world of dreams
From the future to the times Ive seen
From the righteous to the make believe
We all must leave
But I just want to breathe
Falling
My worlds up and Im almost
Falling
My hands over my shoulders
Falling
Ill dan, dance til Im old and
Falling
Deep down, onward and
From the pilot to the golden sky
From the dash until the day we die
From the laughter to the lonely cry
We all deny
Lie and multiply
Falling
My worlds up and Im almost
Falling
My hands over my shoulders
Falling
Ill dan, dance til Im old and
Falling
Deep down, onward and
Well I love you like a raging storm
And I miss you like Im coming home
And I hold you like a fading song
You send me high, high, higher . . . until Im
Falling X2

Only Light
o Lyrics
All along the street they're holding signs that say
That I am lost and that I do not know the way
I asked the rock, sitting in a shade of grey
I asked the rock, he didn't have a thing to say
So you are the only light I see
You are the only light I need
When everybody else is sleeping
You come along and help me breathe
When I was a stone no-one knew that I was there
I'd sing my song but no-one ever really cared
I went to the mountain face all covered in tears
I wept but the mountain didn't seem to hear
I'll love you until the mountain starts to cry
I'll love you if I don't know the reason why
I'll love you until I do not know my name
I ask you wouldn't you have done the same?

All Hell
o Lyrics
All hells crashing down inside
The windows to the other side
Shimmering in rooms to quiet sighs of
Oh well if its happening there
It isnt here, and god appears to deal
A different hand to different tiers
But this play is not over yet
Hear the music of those marionettes
Beating drums down the quiet streets
Of ignorance and vain regrets
And all these fears swiftly come to pass
Presently she feels were past
Cups of tea and optimistic prayers
Cos out theres our unholy mess
Gathering its long white dress
And marching down aisle to marry this
Matrimonial future bliss
Kiss the tide and hope it doesnt lift up your
Carpet woven from apathy and token frets
All Hell!
But this play is not over yet
Hear the music of those marionettes
Beating drums down the quiet streets
Of ignorance and vain regrets

Beyond All
o Lyrics
Meet me
Underneath the neon light
We'll go
Wandering into the night
There's something
Underneath the beat of control
Something
A music that is beyond all
You go to sleep you wake up you do it again And there's a beat you make up inside of your head And every street's a river be born or be dead We are all singing this song but Nobody knows how it's going to end
