Fishbrain - Isolation Blues Lyrics

Self Isolation
Day 1
I'm already going crazy
There's nobody outside
Except old people
And we can't touch them
Stop touching old people
I don't wanna have to tell you again
It's dirty
(oi Shadez, you're bang out of order)
Quarantined by corona
Sitting on my jack jones
All on my own-a
In my own zone
Work from home alone-a
Mortgage froze
But I'm not a home owner
Not a car owner
Can't get a motor
Can't get away
Cos I'm poorer than most
So the water is pouring
Right from the iris
Cry me a river
But it runs to the sea
Like a surfer
Moses
Parting the surf
So this earth
Is deserted
Sitting on the sofa
Spliff in my hand
While I'm sipping on Corona
Slippin' to another world slightly
Different to the one I belong
I'm tryin-a catch a breath so I can carry on
Dropping like Covid victims
Down in the street
Coming down with the sickness
What we're all witness to
Is the collapse of the business
Markets
It's just started
Start a conspiracy
Straight outta vats
In a wuhan facility
Tested on bats
That are sold in the streets
In a place where they eat
Cats dogs and wallabes
Don't try stopping me
You just wanna limit me
Alter biology
Crash the economy
Save the ecology
With an antibody
Mother earth is
Purging the murderous vermin
We are the virus
Covid's the vaccine
Mad to the max
This issue is depressing
Pressure for recession
Tissue being misused
Panic by the panic buyers
God I'm gonna miss you
Mom when we're stuck
In our government issued
Isolation
Entire nations
Lock down the planet
What a violation
Anybody with a body
Wants an antibody
But the way to build it up
Is to get sick and spread to everybody
Able to get ill enough
To splutter over everybody
Young enough to stay healthy
When the wind is blowing
Gotta get away
Get away
Cos it's airbourne
Telling me to stay
Where it's safe
Stay indoors
People are deadly
Don't touch the elderly
Stay the hell away from me
Coughing over everything
You should take this seriously
Complicate your everyday life
When you're stuck
At your home with your wife
Full time by force
If you ask me
That's a recipe for divorce
So get comfortable
Job got cancelled
Pub got cancelled
Restaurants, school
Outside got cancelled
Kids, what a handful
Outside Lidl with your hands full
Alcohol gel, bog roll
And Jack Daniels
