In the sludge

In the deep dark sludge

In the deep dark sludge it slopped around

Around the mud it slipped and slid

It slipped and slid in the deep dark sludge

In the deep dark sludge it slid around

It was spawned

In the muddy pond

In the muddy pond it arose and yawned

It arose and rubbed its sleepy eyes

Its sleepy eyes perceived the muddy dawn

In the muddy pond

From the grime

From the sticky slime

From the sticky slime it climbed away

Away it crawled across the shore

Across the foamy shore from the sticky slime

From the gooey grime

Upon a mound

Upon the dusty down

Upon the dusty down it reeled and writhed

It writhed it flaked and dried

It flaked and dried on the dusty down

Upon a mound

It's OK is the ninth #SONGO of 2022!

---

Would it be so hard to calibrate your lies?

That would reduce the element of surprise

I wouldn't bet upon an outcome of success

Leave behind destruction, a heaping hot mess

People say

You're in the fray

You've lost your way

But it's OK

Would it hurt you to pretend you're not so tall

Have a way about you makes me feel so small

You're free to listen to the noise I'm making now

Burn the bridges as you kill our cash cow

People say

You're in the fray

You've lost your way

But it's OK

It's OK!

Fool Party is the eighth #SONGO from 2022 by the band Catscan! thecatscanwebsite.com.

---

All of the drinks were cool

And all of the guests were fools

Watch them shaking hands

At the Fool Party

All of the sandwiches served

For the special occasion observed

Passed on from bare hand to hand

At the Fool Party

All of us birds of a feather

Life is most certainly better

So fill our shared cup

And raise it back up

Together

Come get your wings a bit wetter

And nevermind the weather

Eat off our plate

And things will be great

Forever

The birdie bathwater was tainted

All of the fools have now fainted

Wash your shaking hands

They were foolhardy

PizzaBoy is the seventh #SONGO from 2022 by the band Catscan! thecatscanwebsite.com

---

I was born in the basement of a pizza place

My mama was a member of the lizard race

They say my daddy was a president, but I can't say which one

I was bred for pious purpose and my mission's begun

Touch the beanie if you're not alone, PizzaBoy

Hear the secret message on the telephone, PizzaBoy

Touch the beanie if you're not alone, PizzaBoy

Hear the secret message on the telephone, PizzaBoy

The Man with The Gun tried to take me away

But he didn't know about the hidden staircase

If you pull the special bottle then the leaver pops out

It reveals a secret tunnel to my pizza hideout

The one through the over when the fire dies down

Just gotta make sure no one's around

I am really real, I don't care what they say

I'll be baked into a pizza myself one day

Touch the beanie if you're not alone, PizzaBoy

Hear the secret message on the telephone, PizzaBoy

Touch the beanie if you're not alone, PizzaBoy

Hear the secret message on the telephone, PizzaBoy

Checkpoint Charlie is the sixth #SONGO from 2022 by the band Catscan! thecatscanwebsite.com

---

Once I found myself

Among the ones who found they'd lost the ones they found

Now I wait for her to leave

Or wait until it's time for her to leave

Stuck at Checkpoint Charlie

Wish I knew just what to do

Instead I'm waiting here until it's through

I am patient, I'm not strong

But I cannot stay waiting for too long

Stuck at Checkpoint Charlie

Once I find myself then I will find myself a better self of mine

Jackie Weaver is the fifth #SONGO from 2022 by the band Catscan! https://thecatscanwebsite.com

Hello again

Never thought I'd get in

Jackie Weaver

Before we start

I have some words to impart

Jackie Weaver

Can we be assured

Our concerns will be heard

Without you kicking us out?

Jackie Weaver

Jackie Weaver

Hello again

Let this meeting begin

Jackie Weaver

At our last moot

you gave me the boot

Jackie Weaver

Our charter's set in stone

The Chairman's not home

You have no authority here

Jackie Weaver

Jackie Weaver

Roger Small

You're staring at the wall

Jackie Weaver

This meeting's called

We've got a problem to solve

Jackie Weaver

Her actions are illicit

You all are complicit

The Vice Chairman is here!

Jackie Weaver

Jackie Weaver

Show some respect

Mr. Chairmen Aled

Jackie Weaver

That's a laugh

She just cut his mic off

Jackie Weaver

That was an example

An itty bitty sample

Of things here in Cheshire East

I don't know who you think that you are, you live in your car

You make me question my point of view whenever it's new

Whenever you get near, the lights go dark in here

(I think I've seen enough)

And when you look that way, your eyes will always say

(Always giving you up)

Why don't you listen to more radio, the classical show

Then you'll be more inclined to give in, and lighted again

Whenever you get near, the lights go dark in here

(I think I've seen enough)

And when you look that way, your eyes will always say

(Always giving you up)

Give it all away

Have you heard Mark's Myth?

Everything he says is fucking bullshit

Every single day he's got a new bit

And I know that he's an idiot

But I can't believe the words that he has written down for me

And if you receive he will deceive with tricks hid up his sleeve

So that's it

That's the end of Mason on the internet

Mentally I'm tired and I just can't take it

I'm about to quit

But I can't be done if he's the one who's having all the fun

And I can't give in to men of sin who only care to win

Mark's Myth

Every cited source is illegitimate

All these guys are so completely full of it

They're mentally unfit

But I can't believe the words that he has written down for me

And it's time that we begin to see how things are gonna be

Please Please You is the second SONGO from 2022 by the band Catscan! This song features special guest Matt Francis (Longsleeves, Taylorshit.net) on the drums.

Whatever it is that will please you, I'll do it

Whatever it is, whatever it is

I'll play whatever you want me to play

Or I won't play at all

I'll go where you tell me

Or stay if you say

Whatever will please you, Paul

Whatever it is that will please you, I'll do it

Whatever it is, whatever it is

Surrounded by walruses, floating adrift

On a sour sea

We can't come together

We don't belong

In this submarine

Whatever it is that will please you, I'll do it

Whatever it is, whatever it is

Throw on a tight-lipped smile and nod like a man to the other man

I'm John Wayne and I don't cry

I am just a human guy

I hand you steak when you asked for a salad

I deem your menu choice invalid

I'm Marky Mark and I know food

I'm an expert human dude

I nailed the delivery I nailed the punch

And this is the part where you laugh

I am Leto and I'm no joke

I am just a human bloke

Get outta my lane when you see me in your mirror

Better not call my bluff

Like Tom Jayne without a plan

I am just a human man

I am a man

I'm a human man

I'm a broken man
