the largest hearted beast

i get as low as a mammal ever goes

are you peeping at my baleen

SASgov anthem

<a href="http://thewigglytendrils.bandcamp.com/track/sasgov-anthem">SASgov anthem by the wiggly tendrils</a>

words and music by B. T. Nook. Vocals by T. W. Tendrils

We are committees
Finance and public affairs
We are advocates
For Science and the Arts

Post-grad work is the long dark winter
The ticking clock, the sleepless nights

We are here to make things better
We will help you get things done
We understand why you sturggle
Help us fight for everyone

We can fund projects
Inter-disciplines
We are your advocates
We teach and we learn

We know you toil all through the weekend
But take a night to shake off the dust

We are here to make things better
We will help you get things done
We understand why you struggle
Help us fight for everyone

Join us and we’ll hit the city
Stand together, sing as one
Raise your glass to Pennsylvania
To academic freedom

D's request:

who is the imagined singer
SAScot, the SASgov mascot

who is the intended listener
Penn grad students (in SAS or LPS)

ask three questions
1. What is SASgov?
2. What can SASgov do for me (a SAS grad student)?
3. How can I find out about SASgov events and stuff?

inky dark mascara



inky dark mascara
sitting at the mirror
would that I could own your throat
would that I could change more than my clothes

inky dark mascara
was never any fairer
fairer in that, it's never so
would that I could change more than my clothes

inky dark mascara

as salty is the salty see
and salty ever ever will it be

Kenna's request:

who is the imagined singer
Ursula

who is the intended listener
her eels

ask three questions
Where does the ink from my tentacles come from?
I wonder how much Ariel's voice is worth on ebay?
Why is the salt in sea water so salty?

describe your song in one word
pure

squid v shark (insane)



one moves with fins
the other with jets
one king of fishes
the other invertebrates
one uses teeth
the other tentacles
one bites and bites
the other pulls and pulls

so while you questioning the size of your feet
our heroes wrestling in the watery deep
their greatness is forged in these violent tussles
as pomegranates form from tiny corpuscles
bloody and red like some sunken disaster
recalling the end of drunken master

Request from a virginia caller as translated by google voice:

Of all her all I want my guess about again. It's squid and shock by alright. The in matching thing is like a giant Russian I can with the D, voice, the Intended listener would be like the people watching in experiencing the flight 3 questions, will. What up on grants made out of if you'd like calling from movies and why does my left foot bigger than my right, and describe the Ford in one song. It would be insane. Thank you. Goodbye. Hope you have a good time with the phone.

it felt like you tripped me

<a href="http://thewigglytendrils.bandcamp.com/track/it-felt-like-you-tripped-me">it felt like you tripped me by the wiggly tendrils</a>

the open space of the sky is most unnatural to me
the ocean, the ocean and i exist contingently
oh, la la la la

a kitten lives each of her lives simultaneously
i hope it's a trick on my mind, but i know its a trick on me
it felt like you tripped me when we were dancing cheek to cheek
oh, la la la la

oooh

emily's request:

who is the imagined singer poseidon
who is the intended listener the mermaids from neverland

fresh


i get what you see in the bees
i, like you, like scrawling on a tree
and all the things scented on the breeze
but i don't have a clue what it is you want from me

come, nestle next to me
tell me anything, anything you please
i've forgotten things you can't conceive
i look at you and a word occurs to me: fresh

when i look at you
i look at you anew
anew
anew

Peter's request:

who is the imagined singer
a big fat bear

his cub

are you happy?
is there anything you need?
what do you want from me?!
