about

Lots of this comes from observations, people's comments and articles read in the first weeks of lockdown. There are new rules to follow in society for everyone's good.
Was originally called "Lockdown" with "2007/2020" being "Lockdown Pt2".

lyrics

Supermarket diplomat
Why do people answer back?
The two metre rule is there for a reason
Panic buying groceries

Make the streets one way
Sanitizer? eBay
One pack of toilet roll per household
Exercise, it's good for you

Try a new recipe
Look into your family tree
Start writing that novel you've always dreamed of writing
Got to do something to get through the lockdown each day

Clapping for the doctors, the nurses and the carers
Crossing the road to avoid the lycra wearers
Sweating profusely
And breathing heavily

Try a new recipe
Look into your family tree
Start writing that novel you've always dreamed of writing
Got to do something to get through the lockdown each day
