about

There was a bird that had been waking me up regularly. Lockdown was beginning to be eased but the rules were vague.

lyrics

Isolation's got to me
even though there's so much I can do
Pacing up and down the flat
like a tiger in a zoo

To the Great Tit singing "Charapee" every morning
Why don't you just give it a rest?

Exercise is limitless
But there's only so much I can take
I know celery is healthier
But all I want is cake

If I have a picnic in the park, after dark
Will you place me under arrest?

Robert Sotelo is a melodic genius. A great song writer that needs to be heard by everyone. If you like Harry Nilsson or Paul McCartney and also like Pavement this is just great. Matthew Rains
