Are you looking forward to building sandcastles again?
Are you looking forward to seeing the piggies in the pen?
Are you looking forward to the trips out to the furniture outlet?
Are you looking forward to picking out a new kitchen in Magnet?
Freedom
Freedom to go to the park -Park!
Freedom
Freedom to stay out after dark!
Stroking the kittens in the alleyway
Drifting the car behind Kwiksave
Are you looking forward?
Are you looking forward?
Are you looking forward?
Are you looking forward to stealing a traffic cone?
And leaving it by your nan's house!
You can walk your iguana
You can walk your iguana
You can walk your iguana, 'guana, 'guana, 'guana
No more standing outside Asda
No more standing outside Asda
No more standing outside Asda
No more standing outside Asda

A-ooooooooooeeeeooooo
Aeeeeeeeeyaaayayyyaaa,
Ahhhh
There is no tea in this house
(drum noises)
There is no tea in this house
I found a box of Darjeeling
(Darjeeling)
But that's not appealing to me
(meeeeeee)
There's plenty in the herbal drawer (herbal drawer)
but of Tetley's, there is no more
Sat somewhere by the sea
With a lovely warm cup of tea
in my travel mug
that's where I want to be
But there is no tea in this house
I think of all the people out there
smiling and happy and swiggin' from their favourite mugs
I think of mum and dad and how they would always make a cup of tea
for us
(one sugar dad, not two)
WHISTLING
Distorted solo
There ain't no tea and I'm locked in
There ain't no tea and I'm locked in
There ain't no tea and I'm locked in
There ain't no tea and I'm locked in
There ain't no tea and I'm locked in
There ain't no tea and I'm locked in
There ain't no tea and I'm locked in
There ain't no

I guess I just can't get to sleep
Those nightmares they creep up on me
My legs get restless
and twitchy and
I can hear the birds outside
I shuffle around in amongst the duvet
On a good night I get to sleep around three thirty and;
I get woken up at dawn
I haven't been able to break out of this cycle for some time
And then there's the dreams
Those real freaky dreams
I keep dreaming I'm on an island somewhere
Desperately trying to escape
but there's nowhere to go
I've been in gift shops that sell nothing, I've been held hostage, I've been late for the plane and the boat.
Each dream feels more vivid than the last, that there's no escaping the place that I am trapped.
Then I think about my current lifestyle, sometimes I don't leave the front door for days
There ain't no freedom around the corner for us now. Not in our dreams.
This whole thing is a fucking nightmare and I'm right at the epicentre of it.
'I try to go to sleep, I try to go to sleep now, I try to, I try to go to sleep'
But I get woken up by the monstrous visions and thick black treacly feelings of dread dripping through my body, burning through my skin, bubbling down into my skelaton, each and every night an existential feeling of nothingness and worthingness, takes hold upon me, gripping me around my neck, sliding in through my orafices, causing my lungs and chest to tighten and I can't breathe anymore
I can't breath
and then there's no freaky fucking dreams
even now my eyelids are pressing themselves together, blurring out what little vision I have, as I stand dangerously on the cusp between consciousness and unconsciousness
and even now I can't sleep.

Oh
Oh
It's about to get brown on this side of town
Motherfucker
Oh
Yeah we're dropping that beat
Funny old thing
What you saying mate?
Oh, it's the narrator
I know I said I would see you later
But to be frank, where would I go?
We're in a lockdown don't you bloody know?
The fuzz out fining for non-essential driving
when all we doing is just surviving
Oh goodness, did I put the pie in?
Everyone is a home baker now.
Rising up to the occasion
Haha, see what I did there?
Of course not, you're at home.
And hopefully, you're not alone.
Oh we're all, in this together
such a pity 'bout all the lovely weather
can't go out spending hours
sniffing flowers
that's not allowed
No flour on the shelf
can't make my bread
can't earn my crust
no work for the humble wordsmith
forget it mate!
Jump off a cliff
So, that's how I look at it
Trapped inside
The way you think of it
Each and every time I'm explaining
to everyone
is doing my brain in
let's not get political but
Boris Johnson
What a fucking c**t
Oh yes I'm not his biggest fan
what's your plan man?
Ignore us all man!
Killing old people
leaving them alone
in the old people's home
-ooh-
Not enough masks for the doctors, nurses
while I'm singing my versus
They're in the wards
helping people getting better
despite it all
It's a funny old world
Yeah right
Normality, it's a fallacy
the more I think about it
It ain't coming back to me
Normality, it's a fallacy
Get on your bike mate.
Oh it's the Narrator
DJ Orchard gave me this sick beat
so I can rap over it
Cos I can't be in the street
Already lots of mandatory exercise
Eating muffins everyday and going to my thighs
It's jogger fucking central down by the river
you mustn't dither
'cos some unsupervised kid will run into you
and then you'll get a cough
and what then will you do?
Essential items,
Must keep the shop open
Selling BBQs and trampo-fucking-lines
Oh yes that's so important
I need to buy that inflatable flamingo for my daughter
People being refused to buy paint
Oh no my house it looks a right state
Good job the in-laws aren't coming round
But good luck getting them on Skype
They can't get no sound
It's the narrator
DJ Orchard
