By the way, inability to dock seems to be a recurring theme in your covers. You know you can take courses at Lave Academy, right?

Oh please do a really good White & Nerdy. (Doesn't necessarily have to be Redspear. Anyone. Please. How about Green & Slimy )

See me patrollin'
The system
They know that fugitives best be wary

Fugitives best be wary
I'm issuin' a disciplinary
So hear this cautionary
Eject quick or it'll get scary
My buddies cruise in -
Formation
Ain't no trader convoy so you'd best be wary
Fugitives best be wary
I'm issuin' a disciplinary
Grabbin' you by the short and curlies
Police ship but fightin' dirty

See criminals think they see a clown
But bud I'm the sheriff in this here town
Given plenty of em good reason to frown
When I bust em up knock their two shields down
Faster than you in my interceptor
Now I'm launching I'm gonna best ya,
Station warning should have left ya
Reaching your hand for the injectors
Fire a missile at me don't be funny
Got E.C.M. cos I ain't no dummy
GalCop they ain't short of money
Before I'm done you'll cry for mommy
My lasers of course they're military
With a recharge rate that's exemplary
Cryo unit too in case of any
Confiscated shipments of Ben & Jerry
Assassins I take down for fun
Pirates too but no hired gun
Fugitive your days are done
Maybe now you wish you'd tried a milk run
The aegis is a place where we have rules
Try it on and I'll have to take you to school
Shoot the bouy like you're some crazy ass fool
Best eject real quick hope you like prison food
Bad news: it's mostly gruel

Green & Slimy could be good (and I may come back to that) but I here's a quick pass (first verse only) from another angle...

Yo smuggler with your narcotics
Fight with me you'll think I'm psychotic
Make all your moves look robotic
Cos first I lock with my target and then I drop it.
Or maybe it's slaves not drug running
Pretty soon for you I'll be gunning
Bringing the pain by the tonnage
Faster than those dudes in that film cool runnings.
I see you thinkin' of droppin that mine.
But I'll be out of range then back in no time
Makin sure you pay for all of your crimes
Cos I clean up perps and on pirates I dine
My shields are boosted with high technology
It's way too late for your apology
Don't need no degree in criminology
Schoolin' I got from Judge Dredd anthology
Even thargoids, they know my name
Cos I take em down when they're playing their game
Not for the money and not for the fame
But when it comes to justice I'm insane
Fugitive or offender can't run for long
No need to be in MENSA to see you wrong
Gonna catch ya and end ya drop ya like king Kong
Cos my ships pumped up more than Lance Armstrong

We all drank lots of cointreau
Under pressure of a deadline
To break records with a design
Yeah we didn't have much time
Front zapper, engine covers
Faster than the speed of sound
When some stupid son of a gun
Turned the place upside down

"We'll make it...
Go underwater,
A design we should try
It'll go underwater"

We tore down the engine house
Some cried with an awful sound
Power cords were fitted in and out
Replacing all we found
Once we all were sober
We thought we had won the race
The old ship was gutted out
A new Moray stood in its place

And now it...
Goes underwater
Flies in with a dive
Goes underwater

We covered up promised not to tell
We were twenty lobsters there
But with the Marine Trench Execs just outside
Expenses they like to spare
With a few test flights, and congrats said
We didn't need to sweat
No Moray could be better equipped
If you fly one you'll never forget

Because it...
Goes underwater, and flies in the sky
Goes underwater

Under attack I take the flack
Thargoids real strong I'm gonna hit back
Yes I am
No truce hit the juice
That's got me injectin' out
Then I let the lasers fly ain't me that's gonna die
No need rehearse cause I'm always sly
A feline strives, cat's eyes
Chasin' every one of 'em until they've died

Cause I'm back
Stripes are black
On my back
Cos I'm a cat
I'm a ca-aa-aa-at, ca-aa-aa-at
It's a cat attack
Yes a cat attack

Back on attack and I'm hittting back
Number one with a laser as a shot I'm crack
Yes I am
I got fangs, like to hang
In an anarchy with some hardheads at hand
Cause a lack of attack, is just terribly wack
Don't wanna 'nother tail I got one on my back
Some truckers say how, clever trading will pay
They should keep their mouths shut and get out of my way

Cause I'm back
Stripes are black
On my back
Cos I'm a cat
I'm a ca-aa-aa-at, ca-aa-aa-at
It's a cat attack
Yes a cat attack

Stripes are black on my back
Stripes are black on my back
I'm a ca-aa-aa-at ca-aa-aa-at
It's a cat attack
Yes a cat attack

Yeah, uh! Get up now! Ow! Knock out this!

Super pay days, post to post, reputation in the air
With an intergalactic payload, just make a real good deal
That's the appeal

When theres no constellation-that's too far.
And somewhere on the way, you might find out who they are.

Flyin' with a passenger-fly this guy, station to station
Flyin' with a passenger-contraband, assassin batin'
Flyin' with a passenger-got to have a destination

Dock my soul

Close hatch, lean back, many jumps so watch your back
All so good to go, keep on docking true, your pitch & roll goal
All those liners, they don't make, no good taxi, but I'll ship y'all

You might pick up a docking fine
Might find they change their mind
But ya gotta get them there on time

Flyin' with a passenger-fly this guy, station to station
Flyin' with a passenger-contraband, assassin batin'
Flyin' with a passenger-got to have a destination

I fly with a passenger, help me out,
But why fly with a passenger?
Wait a minute
You may not be thinking no passenger planned
But you might scoop one anyway
Into one of those old docking bays
There's froggies green (froggies green), feline kitty (feline kitty), lizards (lizards), them birds some days (them birds some days),
Rodents tricky (rodents tricky), lobsters nippy (lobsters nippy), insects may (insects may), WHOEVER WANTS TO PAY!

Flyin' with a passenger-hit me
Flyin' with a passenger-yeah,
I fly in and out
Flyin' with a passenger

I fly with a passenger-deadlines, gonna be on time, when
I fly with a passenger-hey
I know what it means, I'm

Flyin' with a passenger...
Flyin' with a passenger- hit me now, fly this guy, station to station
Flyin' with a passenger
Flyin' with a passenger-it pays good!

They say I'm not elite; true
Fight I would if I could have
They say I couldn't accrue
Credits often as I should have
Bounty brings kudos from combats won
I just never crossed the line

I could always use a mine
I could always use a mine

Trading I didn't review
I chose only, only wines
When I guess highs could've sold to
Make you happy blow your mind
If I treat slaves as second best
Would I be sorry all the time

I could always turn to crime
I could always turn to crime

Help me, help me get those shipments in on time
Give me, brand new Fer de Lance
To stop me turn to crime, turn to crime

Assassins I could have hit and run
If I ever had the guile

I would always rather hide
Corp'rate miner more my style
Corp'rate miner more my style...

edit: before I do the wrong thing, I think Ranthe flies an Anaconda

I'll rework the lyrics somewhat, for both Boa and Anaconda.

Thargoids gonna - gonna have fun
'Goids - gonna have

No Gal Cop when I need you
When my ship's on fire
They come at me, come at me
'sassins hired

They came at me,
What I really didn't need

Gave a death sentence with promises
To destroy my dreams
And all of this because
Contract not what it seems

Tell me I'm wrong:
Documents in space seem wrong, to me

So simply eject
When no energy's left
When your shields are gone
Before your ship is a wreck
They'll scoop up your arse
Insurance you will have to pay
Unless you can't
They've sold you as a slave instead

In a star I see the spark
Of quirium in a sun ray
But it soon can get lost
Injected away

Just as long as I'm facing your arms
And find that I'm in losing place

So simply eject
If of fuel you're bereft
If your laser has gone
And you've got no missiles left
Through all the eight charts
Pirates they are heading your way
Tear you apart, so, so, so
Eject or you will soon be dead

Each time I leave my ship I'm losing my home
They're having their way with a part of my soul
I can feel now that I'm so alone
My adder, don't you know!

I'll eject
I'll still have credits left
Allthough my cargo's gone
And deadlines they won't be met
I'll make a new start
My life don't have to end today
Ship I will part, go, go
Screw my passenger he'll be dead

I'll eject

Mr. Froggy, what's that thing on your head?
Oh Mr. Froggy, helps you hear what I said?
Your anatomy seems so drastic
Your two arms are so small
But your legs seem like they're elastic
Yeah, you jump but can you walk?

Mr. Calming, so serene your allure
Mr. Alarming, you can breathe through your pores?
Are you sure you can fly this spaceship?
Launch it up from it's berth
Does it need be specially equipped?
To accommodate all your girth

Mr. Froggy, don't mean offence of course
Mr. Froggy, just some questions I've thought:
That slime on your skin is it caustic?
Cos it covers you all
Your pilot seat looks like a cess pit
As for the toilet I'm appalled

What is that horrible stench?
Don't wanna know provenance
Don't wanna know, don't wanna know provenance. Arghhh!

Goods all bought! Hahaha

1, 2, 3, 4... [fade]

Crazy, and everyone knows
Dozens of goods but only two goes
Maybe, it's not a waste
But I can't see how, fur's demand is so great

Must be so appealing
Worlds in their ice-age?
I'm goin' off tradin' same two goods again
I'm goin' off tradin' same two goods again

I've traded with creatures
I've obeyed the rules
Agricultures no doubt
Are all run by fools
Computers commissioned, and by the truck load
You just ship it over, and profit twofold

What are they importing?
Artificial brains?
I'm goin' off tradin' same two goods again
I'm goin' off tradin' same two goods again

I know that there's a strange economy
I gotta profit from these worlds, yeah, yeah

Is their some trade law
Or am I just dumb?
Exist in some bubble
What will we become?
Crazy, I'm losing my hair
At least if I lose it, replace it with furs

What is this concealing?
Are we just insane?
I'm goin' off tradin' same two goods again
I'm goin' off tradin' same two goods again
