I hadn't intended to write a lockdown song, but as is so often the case, the lyrics appeared and I wrote them down.
lyrics
Seventeen days up here on my own
I'm going crazy or so says my phone.
We've got the time to be right all the time.
So In a line, describe how you're alone.
This kid's got a live stream, he's pretty good.
He's got plenty of wine, seems like not enough food
He's got the stones to make it to the store,
Gesundheit boy, perhaps someone else should.
This isn't the first time, nor the last.
I guess it's just a risk when numbers grow so vast.
Now our happy ever after wears a mask.
You've got a flight booked? Isn't that swell!
Cancelled last night? Fuck. I guess just as well.
Last thing we need is your containment gone.
Just stay at home, and heed the warning bell
Sever the ties we made through the years,
Unbreakable friendships, IRL tears.
The lease of life is drawing to a close,
Put up a sign confirming all our fears.
Ch
Gentlemen please, form an orderly line.
Ladies we'll get there, all in good time.
The shelves are bare, a symptom of our greed,
Six feet or more, either up or down is fine.
This isn't the 40s, it ain't '66.
If London's a mortuary, these flames aren't the fix.
The cabinet maker's handiwork is flawed,
When we needed oak trees, they gave out sticks.
Ch.
