Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Coronavirus Songs (COVID-19; Pandemic) From: Sol Date: 03 Nov 21 - 09:01 PM I vowed from day one that I would not write a song that had anything to do with Covid 19. It's ruined enough of my life already and I don't want a continuing reminder of it, especially in song. But hey, that's just me, fill your boots with it if you so desire ...... I'm out. |
Subject: Lyr Req: Six Feet Apart (Jody Gallagher) From: Felipa Date: 03 Nov 21 - 09:10 PM Six Feet Apart by Jody Gallagher two different recordings of the same song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-eRAnbkOpWo sung by Frank Kilkelly and Orla Rose Kilkelly https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nzWi8IDc7ps Jody Gallagher chorus Six feet apart, that's how we'll all survive Six feet apart - not three,not four not five Let's follow doctors orders .... We'll beat this thing together Six feet apart. ------------------------------------------------- It's a popular title: SIX FEET APART (Luke Combs) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nYTzZURtnJA Chorus: I miss my mom, I miss my dad I miss the road, I miss my band Giving hugs and shaking hands It’s a mystery I suppose Just how long this thing goes But there’ll be crowds and there’ll be shows And there will be light after dark Some day when we aren’t six feet apart ================================================ Alec Benjamin's "Six Feet Apart" with lyrics on screen. SIX FEET APART (Alex Benjamin) They say distance is relative and relative to relatives I have id say I'm relatively close To breaking down because right now I feel so alone I’ve been missing the elements and wishing the elephant in the room would leave and kindly close the door I cant ignore him like before not anymore Oh I miss you most at six feet apart When you’re right outside my window But can’t ride inside my car And it hurts to know just how lovely you are And be too far away to hold But close enough to break my heart I miss your smile Feels like miles Six feet apart So far so far but so close Like a star out in the cosmos Can’t touch the beauty I see Thats how it all feels to me So far so far but so close Like a star out in the cosmos Can’t touch the beauty I see Thats how it feels at six feet Space and time are interwoven well at least that’s what we’re told when I was young I was suspicious But its true time sticks like glue I feel so blue here missing you So I think Ill build a time machine and go back to a time when we didn’t need to measure six feet on the ground When I came around thats now allowed I cant go back now So I miss you most at six feet apart When you’re right outside my window But can’t ride inside my car And it hurts to know just how lovely you are And be too far away to hold But close enough to break my heart I miss your smile Feels like miles Six feet apart So far so far but so close Like a star out in the cosmos Can’t touch the beauty I see Thats how it all feels to me So far so far but so close Like a star out in the cosmos Can’t touch the beauty I see Thats how it feels at six feet |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Coronavirus Songs (COVID-19; Pandemic) From: GUEST,Felipa Date: 08 Jan 22 - 06:01 PM https://protestfamily.com/2021/12/01/oh-micron/ OH, MICRON! Not oh-my-cron, little o But ommi-cron, I don’t know Why it should be so, but The alphabet deflects damnation From the variant’s home nation And nu could be confused with new And xi could be confusing too, But Johnson called it omnicron [Boris Johnson, UK p.m.] And that is definitely wrong. Meanwhile Coach JVT Says we’re picking up injury And a yellow card or three. So, to avoid sending offs With persistent coughs He’s bringing on the booster shots And masking up in all the shops And trains and buses, at the stops Unlike his cavalier boss. But transport’s one thing And shops are another While pubs and restaurants Don’t have to bother. If it’s personal responsibility What happens in hospitality Ain’t the fault of their strategy. “No sir, not us at all!” When it’s all spaffed up the wall. Now they’re bringing in the army, Calling up the volunteers, Rolling up their sleeves Like antiviral engineers. They haven’t cancelled Christmas (That would be bad for business) Although there have been whispers. Not oh micron, but omicron What could possibly go wrong? |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Coronavirus Songs (COVID-19; Pandemic) From: GUEST,Joe MacG in NS Date: 08 Jan 22 - 09:31 PM Early on in the pandemic, I was washing my hands so much and in the cooler weather too that my hands were so dry; I gave in and used hand lotion made by the brand Vaseline. I started singing to the tune Glycerine by Bush my own little song that went “ Don’t let your hands go dry … Vaseline.” |

Praise be for Ivermectin, it works on dogs and horses Our kids may die of Covid, but thank God they won’t get worms. |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Coronavirus Songs (COVID-19; Pandemic) From: John MacKenzie Date: 21 Apr 23 - 08:41 AM Talking Covid 19 Blues Well let me tell you ‘bout Coronavirus It’s a nasty thing, and it could expire us It might even prematurely retire us ‘Cos it doesn’t care, if we’re not there. Well I don’t want to leave this human race At least one person will miss my face And in their life there’d be a me shaped space They’d surely grieve, if I should leave. So if like me you want to stay You need to wash your hands many times a day The soap and water keeps them bugs away And I advise a : hand sanitiser. Well this virus is called Covid 19 And it’s the nastiest sucker I’ve ever seen It’s using us as a go between You can get a dose, if you stand too close So keep yourself and your folks from harm. Cover up your mouth, sneeze into your arm Don’t spread fake news, it’ll cause alarm. If we all strive, we can stay alive. |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Coronavirus Songs (COVID-19; Pandemic) From: Neil D Date: 24 Apr 23 - 03:34 AM Here's one I posted to a previous thread about Covid songs. It was written in April, 2020 when we were just starting to realize what we were in for. After writing and posting it I shelved it as being too hopeless, too bleak. Weeping Early this morning I woke from my sleeping The damp of my cheeks let me know I'd been weeping Wide awake now, I can't get back to sleep I sit on the bed and continue to weep I weep for the aged and those who're infirm I weep for the children no longer able to learn I weep for the doctors, the nurses and such I weep for a world denied the comfort of touch I'm up and I'm dressed and having my coffee I sit down and turn on some news I watch for a minute to see how they spin it I turn it off now I'm crying the blues I weep for the stranded, desperate to get home And those who're not only dying but dying alone Those with no respirator who can't catch a breath And those for whom triage has chosen for Death It's lunchtime now and I better eat something I'll cook the food my son left on the stairs My wife the RN is now living at work I'm here with my dogs, but alone with my cares I weep for the families from whom a loved one was torn I weep for the young and those yet to me born I weep for New Yorkers who urgently asked But now doctors are dying for the want of a mask God damn it I wish I could stop all the crying But they're pitching tents in the park to house all the dying Its suppertime now but who feels like eating With humanity taking such a bloody ass beating I weep for our people whose leaders are senseless I weep for the poor, the weak, the defenseless I weep for those taken and those who are spared I weep for the lonely and those who are scared It's late at night and I take to my bed I scruff up the pillow under my head But my eyes defy me and continue to weep As I strive for the silence and the darkness of sleep Neil Devore |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Coronavirus Songs (COVID-19; Pandemic) From: GUEST,Jerry Date: 24 Apr 23 - 04:22 AM Has anyone else found that there isn’t a lot of interest out there now for Coronavirus songs, be they serious or comical? Having come up with several during the dark days of 2020-21, when we all had time on our hands, I thought people would enjoy seeing the funny side of it all when we came out the other side, apart from those of us who lost loved ones of course. I recall Youtube song parodies were attracting huge numbers of hits during the lockdowns, but I guess we welcomed some light relief at the time. Is it just too soon to joke about? Or is it that people are embarrassed about it all now and want to draw a line under it and move on? Then again, I suppose topical comic songs tend to have a limited shelf life anyway. |
