I can’t be arsed doing anything, Now is that covid? I’m shit at snooker and dancing, Now is that covid? The sweater, sweater, sweatier I get The more that I forget If that is COV I just get pissed or lie about, Now is that, is that I put my pants on inside out, Now is that, is that Rougher, rougher than a badger's arse I'm also crap at darts Now that is COV I can't play the violin or piano I can't make banana bread or sour dough Legge's up with a book and a drink, Now is that COV?

A gathering, a protest march What’s the difference? Here’s a chart I’ve got some figures, and an app Isle of Wight - stay in Massage the numbers, dirty tricks Cheltenham, Stereophonics Allowed out to play for politics, I’ve looked at crowds that way. I’ve looked at crowds from both sides now From up & down and still somehow, It’s crowds’ illusions I recall I don't remember crowds at all

Step up to the podium Lockdown, isn't it a pity Here's the CMO, Chris Whitty Compared to Matt Hancock, he's pretty He's a fan of Scritti Polliti All around, people looking half dead But not Chris with his alien monk head And at night he's a different guy Necking lager, getting high Each time he goes to bed he prays Like Aretha Franklin, hey He's the chief in Westminster city By night, he's Green Gartside CMO, Chris Whitty CMO, Chris Whitty

Keep The Heid 01:40
lyrics

"It's in everybody's interest that we just all keep the heid around this and do the right things." Keep the heid Keep the heid I was thirsting for a beer (keep the heid, keep the heid) But pubs now have no atmosphere (keep the heid, keep the heid) It's hard enough to keep distance I was dying for a piss Thank god the bogs are contactless Entering the Gents - good grief! (keep the heid, keep the heid) They've actually got soap in here (keep the heid, keep the heid) I've never seen that before Working taps and hand cleanser There's guys washing their hands - wooah! I've seen every pub there is Been to every dive there is Been in loads just for a piss But I've never seen anything like this Keeping a urinal apart - it's bliss Cleaning products at the sink We're gonna keep the heid, keep the heid Keep the heid, keep the heid

I think I want to be a hermit Living on bread and beer and cheese I don't think I need a permit I'll grow a beard down to my knees Don't wanna go out tonight Everything is shite I'm in a bad mood all the time Looks like we're not in this together People are lapping up the lies Looks like we're in for nazi weather Time for me to say my goodbyes Don't wanna go out tonight Everything is shite I'm in a bad mood all the time Russian, American or British Chinese and all points inbetween Every roadside verge is full of rubbish Modern life is mad and mean

The problem is all inside your head," she said to me "The answer is easy if you take it logically I'd like to help you in your struggle to be free There must be fifty ways to leave your comedy career She said, "The Chancellor's got a point, don't you agree? There's far too many comedians in comedy We only need the same ones who are always on TV There must be fifty ways to leave your comedy career Fifty ways to leave your comedy career" Go to work in Tesco, Jo Driving a van, Jan Get to Amazon warehouse, Klaus Lidl for Sid'll do Try driving a bus, Gus What is all the fuss?

Fear Of Cotton 03:11
lyrics
buy track
It's covid time, and anti-maskers are afraid At covid time, to put cotton on their face And in our world of plenty, they can only think of themselves Raise your scissors high guys at covid time So say a prayer and pray for the stupid ones At covid time, it's hard but while you're having fun There's a world outside your window, and it's a world of dread and fear People ripping tissues are screaming freedom in your ear And the brain cells that they cling to are being drowned in froth Well tonight they're reaching out and touching cloth Bring peace and joy this covid time to everyone Except for selfish bastards with no clue ooooh Why is helping others feared? Why are grown adults scared? Do they know they're useless, I'm not sure Here's to you Raise a glass to everyone Carol Decker And Mark Dolan Do they know there's a pandemic on at all? Fear of cotton, do they know it's not about them? Fear of cotton, how would they cope in a war zone? Fear of cotton, get a grip you utter arseholes Fear of cotton, Ian Brown wants to be a corpse
