lyrics

The cane toad croaked out in Sawyer's Hope
Spinning in the rip-tide, rolling in the foam
A fat Coke float, a sunnyside yolk
His dead hand clinging to a guard rail rope

Pull up the shutter and jump back from the cutter
Step into the light so I can see you better
What you tell me won't go any further
than me and my pad and a tape recorder

You better start to talk before I cure your stutter
with a big black mariah full of fairies in leather
Leaning on your shoulder while you're calling for your lawyer
when you could be rolling home back to your woman and your daughter

[Chorus]
Catalina, you got what you wanted but you won't get away from me
Catalina, you get what you're given with nobody standing in your way
Keep on looking over your lily-white shoulder

Well, we know about the floozies, the cabin cruises
and the rich man swimming in the middle of November
His poor wife sitting in a country club
sipping on a dry Martini in a sling-shot bikini

That was our mistake, we were dredging up the lake
with a dinghy and a rake. She was making her escape
Crying at the wheel then fixing up her face
She's eating chicken-in-a-basket by the casket at the wake

[Chorus]

Mudlow Brighton, UK

Mudlow play the soundtrack to the dark worries...
when you can't sleep at night!
There's trouble everyday!
The dread of a flat tire
on a country two-lane road
at ten o'clock at night,
where you can still be seen.
Somebody's at the back door,
there's a lady at the bar you used to know, and she's strapped,
...and a jukebox plays a Mudlow album.
