A soft-rock Lockdown rant...
lockdown corona covid19
Artist picture
Singer-songwriter, arranger and producer: acoustic contemporary folk but ranging into rock/blues/country/jazz/humour...all very eclectic, I'm afraid!
Martin Stirrup Singer/songwriter An old folkie who got back into it... These days I sing and play guitar(s) and other stringed instruments, then score and orchestrate where appropriate. My taste becomes increasingly eclectic ranging from finger-picked folk through country to soft rock mixed in with a few more alternative and eccentric numbers, including the odd novelty foxtrot...

Story behind the song
Written on a Hurtigruten ship in Arctic Norway at the start of Lockdown. A bit of a rant of annoyance at the time, but I get the initial need for lockdown. In the short term physical health trumps mental health but eventually we all need to start living again. And beware of governments taking firm control...
Lyrics
Corona Corona Version 2 BEBEAB EGA The world's gone crazy, I heard it on the news Stocks and shares are tumbling with coronavirus blues I'm sitting warm and cozy looking at the snow Wondering how the hell this is all gonna go Some politician says we have to sit a yard apart Its a pain in the butt but its only the start Dont wanna be stuck on a ship like in Japan But the Hurtigruten crewre doing all that they can BBEEBBGF# FEE This ain't no ibola, but its fatal for some Its a heck of a call. I hate to be the one Making decisions to get us out of this mess Were reliant on key workers and the angels of the NHS So now were stuck at home but trying not to whine The weathers fine so were soaking up sunshine Boosting our immunity with vitamin D Keeping close to nature is the place to be Still they're CD CD CD GA Closing up the borders Shutting up the shop Giving out the orders Where's it gonna stop How to stay safe But not trash the economy Health and safety's no joke So what's it gonna be Watch out for governments Taking firm control There's an argument They may get to like the role It can send you reeling But don't sink into the void Keep up that wartime feeling Stop me getting paranoid Londons in lockdown, Paris is the same Its the end of the world, itll never be the same Self-isolation has to make you think Its enough to drive us all crazy Its for our own good well, thats as maybe Im sure well get through but dont wanna hex it Cant we get back to talking bout Brexit If this keeps on , itll drive us all to drink final B
