"I Need a Gun" is the sixth #SONGO of 2023 by Catscan! It features piano playin' by Hershel Hoover. --- Had a dream, had a dream last night Had a dream that I was cornered in a fight Had a dream that we were persecuted Had a dream that we were not included now Now I'm running down the railroad tracks All these mining jobs ain't never coming back They're putting poison in our minds at school My own kids are lookin' at my like a fool I am a man I am afraid I need a gun This whole country's got me feelin' so jaded We the people isn't ever gettin' educated Let's arm the teachers in our children's classes And the clergy at our Sunday masses now I am a man I am afraid I need a gun
"The Same Way" is the fifth #SONGO of 2023 by Catscan! thecatscanwebsite.com It features a verse by vocalist Pete Faust of The Electric Grandmother https://www.electricgrandmother.com/ --- Do you feel the same way? I feel the same way Do you feel the same way? Everybody's older All the ones we knew The golden age is over The golden days are through Do you feel the same way? I feel the same way Do you feel the same way? Robots write the music All songs sound the same YouTube making you sick Who's the one to blame? Do you feel the same way? I feel the same way Do you feel the same way? "Back in my day!" Is what the guys say As we fade away But the times we had Were made more bad again As we remember them Check this out My facing backwards got the kind of dumb Cuz in reality I was on the run Though I'd like to think I was having fun My real days had the stressors on Cuz I feel just like how the singer does That the past just shouldn't last because All the time spent building up til now Was the real shit that showed you how Do you feel the same way? I feel the same way Do you feel the same way? That's the real shit that shows you how Take him outside and punch him now Kick him in the nards with a baking plow Do you feel the same way? I feel the same way Do you feel the same way?
In the early 1980s, THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS received an unlabeled cassette tape of this mysterious song which they later misattributed to Deep Blue Something (of "Breakfast at Tiffany's" fame). According to John Flansburgh: "You know, when you're in a rock band, you get a lot of interesting tapes in the mail, but this is by far the most interesting one we've ever gotten. Not really, but, it's got our name in it—it's kind of strange." For decades, this mythical song has only barely existed in the form of old fan-made bootleg recordings. Until now. "I Might Be Giant, Too" is the fourth #SONGO of 2023 by Catscan! thecatscanwebsite.com --- In the days to come See the ruins rise While the giants sleep In the ruined skies Will the giants come down to earth? And somewhere under the sun We will find the days to come You already kiss a broken sky They might be giants This world might go too far I should be saving the tears I need an ocean to get to you I might be giant, too Poor mother earth Her pain is deep (She's going to die) The giants know Her heart is sweet (She's under a sky) Who knows how long for her? And somewhere under the sun Now it doesn't seem so far I'm further from your heart They might be giants This world might go too far I should be saving the tears I need an ocean to get to you I might be giant, too I left the light on I turned the screws I changed the channel, now I can't find you I paint by numbers I catch disease I want to be bigger now So I can be free I know, I know They might be giants I know, I know What did you find Inside the grave? Bones lain with silence Lost in their place You search, I close my eyes And hearts beat under the earth Every echo ends a tear You carry summer's last rose in your heart They might be giants This world might go too far I should be saving the tears I need an ocean to get to you They might be giants This world might go too far I should be saving the tears I need an ocean to get to you They might be giants This world might go too far I should be saving the tears I need an ocean to get to you I might be giant, too
"Your Shallow Grave" is the third SONGO of 2023 by Catscan! thecatscanwebsite.com --- In the night There's a fright The sound of someone out there It shakes you You're found Beneath the ground No fight Or flight Vibrations growing stronger He strikes hard You cave Your shallow grave You won't hear him crawl up from behind Whispering "come join us down here"
Trainquarium is the second #SONGO of 2023 by Catscan! thecatscanwebsite.com --- What's that sloshing up the track? Yeah it's something new Spent some cash on a full day pass And there's one for you You'll be swimming too Check your zippers And put on your flippers Give that gauge a tap This train's gonna melt your brain Please mind the gap Take a travel map It all began with an engineer in a tub Who asked herself what's the opposite of a sub? A way to move our ocean cousins to land Ten years later she finally accomplished her plan All Aboard Trainquarium Tranquarium Full steam ahead Trainquarium Trainquarium Don't tap the glass You're scarin' em You're scarin' em Ecosystem collapse Trainquarium Trainquarium The locomotion from the ocean Is coming through your town Dive inside, take a ride Just remember there's no up or down So try not to drown Do a dance with a coelacanth In the twilight car Share a meal with a moray eel At the sand bar Try the caviar Our engineers have assured us everything's safe This plexiglass is used by NASA in space The shareholders have truly spared no expense Our fish guy has been keeping us all in suspense Man overboard Trainquarium Trainquarium Deploy the nets Trainquarium Trainquarium It's a shark attack They're tearing em They're tearing em Blood on the track Trainquarium Trainquarium
Nemo is the first #SONGO of 2023 by Catscan! https://thecatscanwebsite.com --- Saw my hand turning the knob waving good bye as it went out the door Felt my leg detach from my body, now I'm watching it fall onto the floor Watching it fade away Made my kitchen into the hallway into a runway into the moon I decided that matter don't matter so I took off my self and entered the void Watching it fade away So I packed up all of the planets Folded the stars Tucked them away Then I took my rubber eraser to everything else clearing the page Nobody nowhere and nowhen nothing but Nemo fading away
The Sludge is the tenth #SONGO of 2022 by the band Catscan! Its companion piece, Triangle, makes up for the missed month earlier this year. https://thecatscanwebsite.com --- 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
