lyrics

Quarantine-Age Wildlife

In the wake of corona
We’ve had to postpone all
Our shows
Lest proximity kill us

We’re all studio bands
Washing our gigless hands
Like Scott Walker, Kate Bush or - Gorillaz

Horde your bog roll and pasta
The essentials for disaster
Hysterical smiles
Clogging up empty aisles

CHORUS

Human nature scares me more than the virus.
If compassion were a job they’d have fired us.
Put rough sleepers in the palace
End this culture of malice.
Kill the rich, feed the poor,
Time to level the floor.

So then I think next I’ll
Get #BenzosForExile
A pharmacopeia of dark-web downers

A Valium onesie
From Loki in Swansea
My armour against out-of-towners

I panic bought whiskey
To not would be risky
My priest said to drink through the crisis

How eerie is this -
But does anyone miss
Theresa May, Pig-gate Brexit or ISIS?

CHORUS

Now our leader has spoken
His bumbling token
A minimal bid to assure us

He’s revised his plan
To kill off your gran
But this is a man who abhors us

They expect us to be grateful
For scraps from the table
As the world turns its turn
May they perish and burn

CHORUS
