The journey so far, and why masks are important.

In the summer of ‘76
I was just one year old
My dad in terry towelling in a rusty brown Allegro
Cos the Cortina had just sold

In the early 90s
When I left home
Got a place to study drama in a college up in scarborough
Where I learnt to spend and owe

Now it’s 2020 wearing masks to fight the virus
Because the future came to bite us a-ll
playing quizzes on Zoom calls
Drinking cocktails at home

We’ve got to stay 2 metres to defeat the deadly virus
Because the future came to bite us a-ll
Testing the limits of broadband
Baking sourdough

In the year 2000
There was so much time
But I Stopped the Marlborough lights + whites and golds
And rolled up notes and grew older like a waitrose wine

I’ll always fight your corner
Always on your side
Cos every second every minute every hour every day
I’m with you for the ride

Now it’s 2020 wearing masks to fight the virus
Because the future came to bite us a-ll
playing quizzes on Zoom calls
Drinking cocktails at home

We’ve got to stay 2 metres to defeat the deadly virus
Because the future came to bite us a-ll
Testing the limits of broadband
Baking sourdough

(Don’t stand that close)
