To ask for song lyrics that suit COVID?

[huneebunee]

As a shielder, these lyrics resonate for me:

Band On The Run
Paul McCartneyy, Paul McCartney and Wingss

Stuck inside these four walls,
Sent inside forever,
Never seeing no one
Nice again like you,
Mama you, mama you.
If I ever get out of here,

It's the end of the world as we know it (I had some time alone)
It's the end of the world as we know it (I had some time alone)
It's the end of the world as we know it
and I feel fine

REM

Bob Marley. Don't you worry about a thing

@RubaiyatOfAnyone

It's the end of the world as we know it (I had some time alone) It's the end of the world as we know it (I had some time alone) It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine

REM

That is a tune but I don’t think the last line resonates. I think most people feel at least a bit meh...

Don't stand so close to me.

Go on, go on
Leave me breathless

I can think of song titles rather than all of the lyrics off the top of my head

Blossoms - How long will this last?
REM - its the end of the world as we know it
Destiny's child - survivor
21 pilots - level of concern
Queen - you are the champions
Bill withers- lean on me

To my peoples, if you hear me, where you at, throw your gloves in the air
And wave them like you just don't care
From L.A. to the Bay, what you say
All day, every day, any damn day
Take a look around, we got the whole world locked down
Goin' on and on, it don't stop, won't stop, can't stop
You could ride or die
That's why I put it down for the Westside

you may say i'm a dreamerrr

Stuck in the middle with you
Bloodstream - Ed Sheeran

Kaiser Chiefs did a brilliant lockdown version of 'oh my god', it was on Facebook back in March.
Time on your own which will never end
You've completed the internet and called all your friends
Now you're taking advice from a band named Kaiser
Covering your body in hand sanitizer
But it don't matter to me, cause all I wanted to be
Is a million miles from here, somewhere less familiar
Oh my God I can't believe it, I've never spent this much time at home

You give me fever ....

@TheSeedsOfADream

Don't stand so close to me.

Love that!

I Don't Give a Fuck by Tupac Shakur

"I don't give a fuck
They done push me to the limit I'm all in
I might blow up any minute, did it again"

and

"They know we fed up
But they just don't give a fuck"

Can't quote most of the song on here, uses the N-word a lot.

‘Ooh, you give me fever....’.

^ I think we're alone now,
There doesn't seem to be anyone around
I think we're alone now,
The beating of our hearts is the only sound^

I think we’re alone now by Tiffany

"Got the city on lockdown " from Fly By by Blue.

Wake me up when september ends - Green Day
I want to break free - Queen

What once was pleasure now's pain for us all
(In my heart only shadows fall)
I once stood proud now I feel so small
(I don't know whether to laugh or cry)
The long hot summer just passed me by

Long Hot Summer, Style Council, 1983 (I bought the album )

Things it would have been good to know before the revolution, by Father John Misty :

My social life is now quite a bit less hectic
The nightlife and the protests are pretty scarce
Now I mostly spend the long days walking through the city
Empty as a tomb
Sometimes I miss the top of the food chain
But what a perfect afternoon
Industry and commerce toppled to their knees
The gears of progress halted
The underclass set free
The super-ego shatters with our ideologies
The obscene injunction to enjoy life
Disappears as in a dream

Ooh, my little pretty cough, my pretty cough
When you gonna give me some time, Corona
Ooh, you make my fever run, my fever run
Got it rising off o' the line, Corona
Never gonna stop, give it up, such a scary time
I always cover up, for the touch you have to sanitize
Wh-, wh-, wh-, why, aye aye, whoo!
M-m-m-my Corona

Harmony Hall...I dont wanna live like this, but I dont wanna die

You can take lyrics to mean whatever you like but I love the 'wicked snakes inside a place you thought was dignified is very apt

We took a vow in summertime
Now we find ourselves in late December
I believe that New Year's Eve
Will be the perfect time
For their great surrender
But they don't remember
Anger wants a voice
Voices wanna sing
Singers harmonize
'Til they can't hear anything
Thought that I was free
From all that questioning
But every time a problem ends
Another one begins
And the stone walls of Harmony Hall bear witness
Anybody with a worried mind can never forgive the sight
Of wicked snakes inside a place you thought was dignified
I don't wanna live like this, but I don't wanna die
(Ooh ooh ooh ooh)
I don't wanna live like this, but I don't wanna die
Within the halls of power lies
A nervous heart that beats
Like a Young Pretender's
Beneath these velvet gloves I hide
The shameful crooked hands
Of a money lender
'Cause I still remember
Anger wants a voice
Voices wanna sing
Singers harmonize
'Til they can't hear anything
Thought that I was free
From all that questioning
But every time a problem ends
Another one begins
And the stone walls of Harmony Hall bear witness
Anybody with a worried mind can never forgive the sight
Of wicked snakes inside a place you thought was dignified
I don't wanna live like this, but I don't wanna die
(Ooh ooh ooh ooh)
I don't wanna live like this, but I don't wanna die
And the stone walls of Harmony Hall bear witness
Anybody with a worried mind can never forgive the sight
Of wicked snakes inside a place you thought was dignified
I don't wanna live like this, but I don't wanna die

Mad World by Tears for Fears especially this bit

All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for their daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere
Their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression, no expression
Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow
No tomorrow, no tomorrow

Fake fine by Robert Grace is a song written about the Pandemic. Look it up on YouTube, it's very good
